I'm guessing you don't get terribly dirty, but you're making something with your hands. You're seeing something develop in front of your own eyes that you've just learned how to do.

Really enjoyed meeting up with Lorraine and hearing more about her business. Hedges and Hurdles is what you need to look up there, just south of Reigate, as she was saying, and some really intricate designs and some more basic ones as well. If you're a starter, Hedges and Hurdles is the website that you want to be searching for. Lorraine, thanks very much indeed for your time a few weeks ago.

Well, the A25 route from Dorking to Reigate has been identified by the Road Safety Foundation as being one of the worst A road routes for the number of fatal and serious injuries per vehicle kilometre travelled. Now Surrey County Council have been awarded £1.8 million by the Department for Transport to improve road safety infrastructure along the route.

So that covers around about five and a half miles of the A25, Rygate Road, Buckland Road and West Street roads. between Reigate and Dorking, or the other way round, isn't it? It's West Street, Buckland Road, Reigate Road. Now, previously, we spoke about the improvements, which include proposals to make West Street safer for all road users, so drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

What they want to do there is introduce segregated cycle lanes and zebra crossings. Now, at the same time as those proposed works, They're going to be resurfacing the entire West Street between Flangeford Road and the High Street. Now, a slight addition to that, the existing pedestrian island may be adjusted to make it easier for pedestrians and allow cyclists who want to cycle around.

to Priory Park from Park Lane. Yeah, you're imagining all of this to do so from that changed pedestrian island. But there are some more changes as well that they want to make. So going from Reigate all the way over to Dorking. Well, with their plans in hand, I've been down that road and can now tell you what they want to do and where.

Well, first of all, they want to put in average speed cameras to enforce the 40 mile an hour speed limit between here at the Black Horse pub through to the Watermill pub. There are also plans for what they call high containment curbs around the Reigate bends where I am now. They're similar to the ones you may have seen near the Buckland bends.

There are also plans for what they call high containment curbs around the Reigate bends where I am now. They're similar to the ones you may have seen near the Buckland bends.

You may not even have noticed them, but it's where the curbs are much higher than standard curbs and they're designed to keep a vehicle on the road. And that means that the safety barriers on the Reigate bends will be removed as part of the scheme. Now, you may have seen those safety barriers. You move from Rygate and Banstead Borough Council area to Mole Valley District Council area.
