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.

Father Christmas is visiting Redhill and the surrounding area during the next two weeks! 

His Santa Sleigh runs will be supported by the Redstone and Redhill Rotary and begin tonight when he can be seen travelling through the Whitebushes Estate and South Earlswood.  He’ll be visiting the Redstone Hill area on Wednesday, and the Watercolour and Park 25 estates on Friday.  He’ll then move on to Smallfield and South Nutfield next week. 

Father Christmas’ team will collect donations on their travels which will be used to benefit local charities and community projects.

Information about the exact routes and how to donate can be found: redhillredstonerotary.org/2025/11/santa-collections-2025/
