The Saga of the Missing Hospital Sign The sign below answers a question that has been frequently asked in Leatherhead for over a year: "Where is the Leatherhead Hospital?" The sign for Leatherhead Hospital was damaged in 2009 when Surrey County Council (SCC) put in a cycle path on Epsom Road. The cycle path was removed shortly afterwards but the damaged sign was left. Neither the Leatherhead Residents' Association (LRA) nor the League of Friends of the Leatherhead Hospital have been able to persuade the SCC or our local County Councillor to replace the damaged sign; all that SCC did was to remove the sign altogether! The League of Friends even volunteered to pay SCC to reinstate the sign, but received no answer. For over a year the LRA's Highways Subcommittee regularly reported to SCC the need for a sign to Leatherhead Hospital.
