Crawley Station was evacuated yesterday (19th September) due to a suspicious package.

Police closed it for around an hour at 1:20 in the afternoon after two locked bags were left on a platform.

After being investigated it was later found they were harmless.

A meeting next week will look at whether the position of the Chief Executive at Surrey Council should be abolished.

It’s due to a petition gaining enough signatures on the issue, meaning it can now be discussed at County Hall.

It also calls for the need to pay anyone over £50,000 a year to be examined.

More information on the petition can be found here: http://petitions.surreycc.gov.uk/chief-executive/#detail

Three men are wanted following an assault on a woman in Redhill.

It happened 2-weeks ago (3rd September) close to McDonald’s on Station Road at around 1:30 in the morning.

It’s believed an altercation took place between three men and the female victim, which then led to her being repeatedly assaulted.

Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has reminded residents to have their say on Tandridge District Council’s Garden Villages Consultation.  

One of the sites being consulted on is Redhill Aerodrome which crosses the administrative border onto Reigate and Banstead in the Earlswood, Whitebushes and Salfords area. Other potential locations are Blindley Heath, land west of Edenbridge and South Godstone.  Residents can have their say on the issues of a garden village development as well as the potential location.  Reigate and Banstead will be making a response to the consultation as a statutory consultee.  

The consultation document and details of how to make comments on the plan, are available at tandridge.gov.uk/localplan. The consultation runs until Monday 9th October.
