I am, though, just going to be coming outside of the Planet Reigate area for a few moments because there's two more changes that I think you might be interested in and I want to tell you about them. So I'm just coming up to... the watermill pub on the right-hand side. So along this stretch, there are central hashes in the middle of the road. So they're going to be staying.

They're going to upgrade the pedestrian island that I'm just passing. Then, of course, as you come into Dorking, on the right-hand side, there is the cemetery. And then on the left-hand side, there's that really awkward turning in and out of the mini baby Tesco's. So let's just pull in here. And I don't know whether you know, it's just past Punchbowl Lane.

It's really awkward, partly because it's a tight turning. You've got people coming from different directions. It's also because you go straight into the car park, which kind of makes sense, but there are cars parked almost immediately afterwards. you come in and also of course it is the travel lodge here as well. It's a really awkward place to turn into and out of, let alone park as well.

So what they're going to be doing is looking at that whole junction and trying to find out whether there isn't a better and safer way of negotiating it all. But that's not all. One more thing to tell you about, and this could make another big difference to your journey if you're going to be commuting to Dorking.

So finally, just before I return you to the studio, one more proposed change that planners would like to make to this stretch of the A25, and that is to reduce the speed limit from the Watermill pub on the right-hand side, past the Cemetery and the Tesco Express, all the way up to the Cockerell roundabout. just before you enter Dorking Town Centre itself. But that's not all.

But that's not all.

They also want to reduce it from 40 to 30, going left at the Cockerell Roundabout, up the hill. And that is not all either. They also want to change it from 40 to 30, going right at the Cockerell Roundabout, where I am sitting now, past the petrol station and the Morrisons Daily on the left-hand side, down as far as the train station... and Ashcombe School. So quite a few changes there.

What do you make of those? Can you welcome them or are there some that you think oh no that's going to be a big problem? Certainly there is going to be a big problem as they do all those changes.

They make the changes to the road signage, they put in those different traffic islands, they do the extra curbing and so on and also narrowing the road as I mentioned up there just before you turn left down to Brockham. So what do you reckon? I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch with me. Hello at theplanetrygatepodcast.com.

Also going to be posting that item on our social media accounts as well. So perhaps drop a line there. And as I say, we'd love to hear about what your thoughts are on the changes there, proposed changes at this stage on the A25 all the way from essentially the Black Horse all the way up to the Cockerel Roundabout in Dorking.

This is the Planet Rygate podcast and of course there was a fuel spill on the M25 Rygate Road roundabout, excuse me, Rygate Hill roundabout, wasn't there? When was that? Kind of a week last Wednesday, wasn't it? And that got me thinking about the road layout there as well. I mean, obviously it would have delayed a lot of people, but at least the road kind of got resurfaced.
