New Planting At Horley Recreation Ground

Horley Recreation Ground is benefitting from environmental improvements thanks to local volunteers. 

The Horley Conservation Group has planted trees and a hedge in the children’s play area.  These were funded by Surrey County Council through the ‘I Dig Trees’ concept and form part of a drainage project to dry up the surface of the playground. 

Horley’s Men in Sheds group provided some bat and bird boxes which were put up around the Recreation Ground by the conservation group and the Gatwick Greenspace partnership. 

Horley Town Council has thanked the volunteers and says that other works will take place later in the year to help the drainage in the area.

Council Commits £10,000,000 To Harlequin Theatre Works

Up to £10,000,000 has been earmarked for work to bring the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill back into use. 

The funding was one of several recommendations agreed at Reigate and Banstead Council’s Executive meeting last Thursday.  The Harlequin has been closed since September 2023 when the presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) was first discovered in the building.

Works to the theatre could take up to five years to resolve so the Council has been looking at alternative venues for arts and cultural provision in the borough while the Harlequin is inaccessible. A costed feasibility report will look at the provision of a 200 seater Redhill performance venue for use for the next three to five years. 

A temporary grant scheme will be set up to help displaced users with extra costs of using other venues during the prolonged closure of the Harlequin.
