Many thanks, NACW! I think I’ll the EV alone for a while. Got a good look at the Genius and it seems much more Matakari-friendly. Help with the following should see me through more easily. Thanks in advance!

23a Hospital blocking a French treatment centre passing without notice (7): ??H???D
28a A university will need ways to restrain right atmospheric illumination (7) : ??????S
1d Nonsense about taking in food strikes (8): ?E??N?S
3d New management offer to provide next deliveries? (8): ?C?E?V?R
4d Former choreographer and director? (6) : ?I?B?R
5d Nothing black is seen in Japanese accessories (4): ?B?R
16d Broadcast commercial in Georgia and part of Spain (7): G?E?A??
18d Curtailed suggestion over cleaner for society venue (8) : C???R???

( Wordplay in each Across clue contains a superfluous letter. In clue order, these letters spell out an instruction to be applied to two additional words in the grid, creating 12 new words, for the final solution to be submitted as your entry. )

First thought for23a was aureoles but thats 8 not 7 and I can onky parse the A U anyways!
5d obis if your R is wrong??
3 Your C is wrong.
4 D Your B is wrong
5 Your R is wrong

23 A usual French A, the usual Hospital and a word for a treatment centre(well, place where you may be treated) loses a letter. The definition is 'passing without notice'.

28 Auroras - atmospheric illumination. A U(university), Roa(d)s , the last with R, right, inside. Au rora s.

Matakari, thanks for the EV update. This Genius couldn't be any more Matakari-friendly!
Cashier... Granada.
I was going off Matakari's letters.
16a is RAN (for 'broadcast') + AD inside GA
...sorry, missed the earlier correction, cashier.

Many thanks, all!
bobbinwales is right with 'tiller' - double def (John Tiller founded the Tiller Girl dance troupe).
cashier is right with unheard, but there's an extra 'w' (although the 'er' is a fair alternative, I suppose) H inside UNE +[w]ARD.
Glad we could all help, Matakari. Maybe the home straight beckons now?

Good morning, thanks for your help, the grid is almost full! A few more clues outstanding before I can work towards the end game ( My weakness in spotting the superfluous letters! )
