Two local artists are auctioning their artwork to raise funds for a community horse stables. Kate Winskill and Raph Thomas, from Richmond, have created pictures of Park Lane Stables’ ponies in a push to keep the premises open. In January it was announced that the Teddington riding school, which specialises in lessons for people with disabilities, will close unless it can raise £1 million. An application by the Teddington Society to list the site as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) was recently approved by Richmond Council, which gives added legal protection to the site. However, efforts are still underway by the community to raise money for the cause.
