A message from the Mayor

On behalf of all residents, I would like to offer my congratulations and best wishes to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee marking 70 years on the throne. She has been a true inspiration to us all and a perfect example of dedication to public service.

We are delighted that the Queen has included this year’s Derby on 4 June as one of her official engagements over the weekend, putting Epsom very much in the eyes of the world during this historic occasion. The Queen has only missed two Derby runnings before the pandemic in her reign and we are looking forward to welcoming her to an event that is synonymous with our community and that she so clearly enjoys.

Working with Go Epsom and other partners, such as Epsom Racecourse, the Council is putting on a number of events to enable residents to take part in and enjoy the Jubilee celebrations - details are included in this special issue of eBorough Insight

Across the Borough there will also be numerous other community organised events and street parties. I hope these go well and that the weather is kind for what is sure to be a Platinum Jubilee festival to remember.

Long Live Our Queen!
