A documentary about a young woman from Reigate who took her own life has been shown at a private screening funded by the charity set up in her name. The Lucy Rayner Foundation was set up by her family to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of depression in young adults, and to keep the memory of Lucy Rayner alive.
In an emotional interview our presenter Annie Whitmore spoke to Lucy’s father Stuart about The Lucy Rayner Foundation and the documentary Lucy: Breaking the Silence. The short film is about Lucy Rayner’s life and the work of the foundation. It will be used as an educational tool to be shown in schools, colleges and universities to help young people talk about their feelings and how being open about their emotions can change as well as save lives. It provides information to help people recognise the symptoms of anxiety, depression and low self esteem in themselves or those around them and where they can go to get help.

Tim Bowling spoke to Chris Quinlan from Plane Justice about how The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has written to Gatwick Airport with a way forward in resolving Gatwick Airport’s Route 4 flight path problem.
You may remember that In 2016 the CAA decided to bring in new Sat Nav technology (rather than the previous beacon system) and changed Route 4 to a new route for a consultation period. This meant planes now flying over villages such as Newdigate, Salfords, Leigh, Horley which lead to over 12,000 complaints from local residents.
Several groups formed to try overturn the flight path changes, one of which was Plane Justice, headed by Chris Quinlan.
