Only just seen this. mad

What an utter censored cow.

I suggest that Ms Surrey should be dragged kicking & screaming out of her house by her hair (no doubt interrupting her viewing session of the shopping channel/Peter & Katie/somesuch crap), bundled into a helicopter, stripped to her bra & nicks and dumped in the remotest part of Helmand province....

there are some crazy demented freaks in this country nowdays & there are war veterans - i know whos side im on.
FFS! they fought for this country & have paid a price some would say is worse than death (now dont start on me being anti-disabled but you hear of veterans saything sort of thing) and they they get treated like this. its totally out of order.
well done to the center & the council for talking sense, makes a nice change.

they have a pool on site, but it's a high temp one more aimed at exercising rather than pure swimming. I'm sure the nearest proper pool isn't 30 minutes away though. Headley court is literally 2 minutes outside the M25 so there must be a closer pool than has been stated.
I think you'll find that's either poetic licence to drum up sympathy, measured in the worst of the Monday morning rush hour! wink

Headley Court to Leatherhead Leisure Centre is about 3.5 miles, so it would take a pretty slow means of transport to take 30 minutes! That doesn't detract from the worthiness of the cause though.

Darren - You asked how to get there... Follow the signs off to the left on the A24 after the mini roundabout and you can't miss it, as the road actually runs through it. The guardhouse and the main house are on the left, with a host of other buildings and the carpark on the right.
