and to produce a report that sets out an indicative timescale for the Harlequin to be brought back into use and includes opportunities to improve on the existing facilities of the Harlequin Theatre as and when it is reopened. Here's some more of what he said.

Now, as the motion is actually what a forthcoming report is going on to answer, it was deemed unnecessary to debate it actually on the night because obviously the report isn't out yet. And that's actually going to be published in time for the meeting on the 15th of August. Council Leader Richard Biggs then ending the meeting with this commitment. You heard it here.

So there obviously has been a reaction on socials. David said the public gallery was rammed tonight, all very encouraging. Yvonne replied, and all the seats in the overflow room were taken too.

One of the councillors advised me to email my MP, which I've done, but I don't hold out much hope. And Deborah wrote, as long as the outdoor theatre is not going to be in Memorial Park, the Pantomime was a nightmare with the noise for people that live around the park. We don't want it again.

We already have to put up with the fare, which is fine when it's on during the day, but the noise from the generator all night and the people working until 3am on the night they arrived and went is a joke.

So again, the 15th of August is the next council meeting that you can attend or you can listen online. Of course, I'll have a report from that meeting as well in that edition of the Planet Reigate podcast.

the Pilgrim Brewery can continue to be part of this town's thriving community. However, they do say that after that, which has been a bit of a struggle because it had to go back at least once, now comes, they say, the really hard part.
