Many thanks, NACW! I got 21 and 22, but could not parse them. The last clue that stumps me:
 4 A school’s maintaining soft features (7) : AS?E???

 

Aspects

22 parsed as

Forelimbs (members) = fore (golf warning) + m(oney)"in" Libs (politicians)

Thanks, Toorak and JJ109, the hunt is on now for the final 7d!

Glad you fared reasonably well with this one, Matakari. I'm sure you'll be delighted if you get the final 7D totally unaided! 

Question Author

Many thanks, NACW, my review of the Unclueds suggests that the final 7d should be the four-letter  fruit. Am I correct?

That's not what I have, Matakari. My highlighted word, totally thematic, is not one of the unclued entries and has five letters. (I could be wrong, of course - that's not unknown!)

Question Author

Ok, NACW, I misconstrued the instruction, it's within the grid! Thanks again!

Good, Matakari - I couldn't see  how you'd settled on the four-letter fruit, so I guessed you'd misread or misinterpreted what we'd been told!

I get the thinking behind the unclueds, but it seems a sombre theme to take as a starting point. I couldn't help wondering if Lavatch knew what the song was actually about.
Anyway, could I ask for help with 42A, please? New maps with facts for health facilities ??? ???PS. Thank you.

Boethius, my 'that's an anagram' hint obviously didn't help, so I'll send you off to the Fat Camps!

Silly me! Thanks NACW

Boethius, glad I could help.
