A Surrey Comet report of Hillcroft College's £443,000 loss on a disastrous fundraising concert has been scrubbed from Google search results for a second time.

Google has received a second request to bury the story, from 2010, into how the Surbiton college lost hundreds of thousands of pounds because of poor ticket sales for the Sandown Park concert.

People named in news stories can apply to Google to have links removed from searches under the controversial "right to be forgotten".

Last July, a mystery individual did just that. Former Hillcroft principal Michael Wheeler, who retired at Christmas, said at the time it was "definitely not an organisational request".

He later declined to reveal whether he had tracked down the person responsible.

The appeals are allowed under a divisive May 2014 decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Links are removed from search results served to browsers inside the European Union.

The stories are not deleted from news archives and are not removed from Google.com results.

Google notified the Surrey Comet on Wednesday, February 11, that the story had been removed from results of searches for certain names "or other personal identifiers".

Acting Hillcroft principal Sue Carter said this week: "I am surprised to hear that a right to be forgotten request has been made in relation to this news story and can confirm that this is not an organisational request."
