We are totally independent here at the Planet Reigate podcast. But as I understand it, the amount of rack and where it was situated in the library is in a different place to the Harlequin. And also, money had been put aside for the refurbishment of the library already, which means that they are able to activate the builders and get things sorted rather sooner than the Harlequin Theatre.

If you don't realise it already, the Harlequin is actually administered at a borough level. So Reigate and Banstead Borough Council libraries are administered by Surrey County Council. So you've got two different layers of government. You've got different teams working on what you might imagine, understandably, from the outside to be exactly the same building.

OK, let's move on with a few other stories which have been making the news during the course of the last seven days or so. If you haven't caught these already, this is where you catch up. And local people are being asked to be part of the solution for tackling anti-social behaviour locally.

The Safer Redhill Partnership is encouraging people visiting, working or living in Redhill to report anti-social behaviour and keep the town centre safer for everyone to enjoy.

So Surrey Police, Rygate and Mansfield Borough Council officers and YMCA East Surrey youth workers working in the area feature in a new kind of social media campaign and they're asking, as I say, anyone who sees something odd or disturbing going on to call out ASB.

The campaign also helps people to recognise the different types of problem behaviour and understand how they can report it because some issues may be dealt with by the police, some by the council. You could go anonymously to Crimestoppers, for example.

So, OK, to put this into perspective, Surrey is one of the safest counties in England, and the crime rate in Reigate and Banstead is lower than the Surrey average. And as I mentioned on the show a few weeks ago, things are already in place.

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. You know, we have reported in the past about incidents in Reigate, very often, in fact, particularly in Priory Park. There have been several incidents over there.
