Surrey Police has purchased a new base in the East of the county; it’s located in Salfords at the Perrywood Business Park on Honeycrock Lane.

The Eastern Divisional Headquarters has been operating out of Wray Park in Reigate since the discovery of RAAC concrete at Reigate Police Station two years ago. Plans were announced last month to move the divisional HQ to a new site in Leatherhead. 

There had been concerns from local residents that the move of the headquarters from Reigate to Leatherhead would mean a lack of police presence in the East of Surrey.  However the Force says the secondary site in Salfords will provide a permanent police station and front counter for the public. 

It will be funded by the sale of the former Reigate Police Station.
