Sport: After months of planning, meetings and waiting, Knaphill Football Club received the great news that they have been granted planning permission for floodlights, a 50 seater stand and hard-standing terracing at Redding Way. This will now help secure their status in the Combined Counties Football League and although they will need to increase the stand capacity this will give them the correct criteria, along with some minor improvements, to gain promotion to the Premier Division should the club finish in the promotion places at the end of the season.
