One lane in Reigate High Street will be closed to traffic from next week.
Surrey County Council has announced the move as part of ongoing social distancing measures. The closure will come into effect on the 7th of July and will stay in place until early October.
The change is part of a government scheme which provides money for councils to temporarily widen pavements and cycle paths to keep people safe during the pandemic.

A takeaway table was literally taken away from ‘The Farmhouse Pub’ in Horley.
The pub on Ladbroke Road had the table with the words Friday & Saturday Night Takeaway painted on it while it was serving takeaways during lockdown.
But it went missing on Monday night, after a passer-by apparently mis-took the words as an instruction to remove it. The table was swiftly returned over night following a Facebook appeal.
‘The Farmhouse’ will open for business again this weekend as lockdown measures are eased.
