The Planet Reigate Podcast
57: Your Harlequin 'drop-in' feedback, Betchworth’s Apple Day… and more

There's youth outreach work by the YMCA, and I've spoken to the YMCA about that, and they have been on the show discussing how useful their Y bus is when it goes around the Redhill area. Improved lighting in places like Memorial Park, mentioned that a few weeks ago, together with some detail about the CCTV. If you didn't catch these recent shows, then you're missing out.

As well as targeted police activity as well. However, obviously that is not by any means to underplay the worry, the concern, the fear that some people have understandably about some of the situations in any of our town centres today.

And certainly I know that Red Hill can be a little problematic, particularly at night. And indeed, personal point of view, some of that may be down to the closure of the Harlequin. Because if more people were around going to and from the Harlequin and arts and culture events and meetings... and societies and picking up kids and that kind of thing, there'd be more activity.

There'd be more people of different ages and backgrounds and so on who'd be keeping the town centre busy. We talked about this anti-social behaviour campaign and letting people know or letting the police or the council know what your fears, worries and concerns are.

And more recently, Surrey Police was awarded a million pound hotspot funding from the Home Office, which we spoke about at the time on the Planet Rygate podcast. And that means more uniformed patrols in the town, as well as support from plain clothed officers as well.
