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.
A yellow weather warning for the South East has been issued by the Met Office.
The warning predicts some disruption to travel and the possibility of flooding across East Sussex and West Sussex, as well as parts of Kent and Surrey.
A total of 15-25mm of rain is likely across the warning area, but 40-60mm may fall in some places, most likely over the Downs.
For those at risk of property flooding, the weather service recommends preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
£3.9 million of funding has been allocated to develop a new Town Park at Tanyard Meadows Horley to enhance sport and play provision in the town.
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council’s Executive agreed to allocate funding earmarked to deliver new facilities to meet the needs of the growing population.
The Council will now begin the process to appoint a design team to develop proposals and a planning application, followed by a contractor to undertake the works.
