Man Stabbed in Reigate

A man was attacked in Reigate on Tuesday afternoon.  

Police were called just before 1.30 pm to Potters Way after receiving reports that a man had been stabbed and three men had made off from the scene.  The victim was an 18 year old man from Redhill who was taken to hospital with serious injuries. A burnt out stolen black Audi A4 believed to have been involved in the incident, was discovered in Rutherwick Close in Horley.  Police believe the parties involved in the incident are known to each other and there is no wider threat to the public.

One of the suspects is described as black, 5 ft 7 inches tall with black hair. Two of the suspects are described as white, both around 6ft tall; one with light brown hair and one with ginger hair.

Surrey Children’s Centres To Close

Surrey County Council has confirmed the closure of 31 children’s centres in Surrey.

The Council has to find more than £200,000,000 of savings by 2021, some of which it attributes to government funding cuts.

Its cabinet voted the approval of the  closures and to reduce bus travel concessions, but has ruled out cuts to four of the threatened recycling centres.

Redhill & Reigate Golf Club set to close

Redhill & Reigate Golf Club is set to close its doors for the final time at the end of March.

Despite continued efforts between the Club’s Trustees and Reigate and Banstead Borough Council to keep the club operational, no workable short-term solution has been secured.

Tony Hallett, Club Chairman, has confirmed the Club is no longer financially viable and as such must close.

It is still hoped a long-term solution may be found to enable golf to return to the site.
