All sorts of water-based sports and Henry's tip for the best sunset view in Surrey. Plus, we have the short story of a proper hero in the very heart of Red Hill, the wartime bravery of Jack Harvey himself. In the news this week, the location of electric car charging points across the area have been announced. How you can find out where to get free tap water for your water bottle over the summer. An update from the driving instructor concerned about the road layout near the aerodrome. Congratulations to a local cricket club for getting hundreds of thousands of pounds from the County Council.
Have your say on our local parks and open spaces ahead of a series of council decisions. How you could get to decide on the future of local police officers who may have been accused of misconduct. How you can help out and build a new shooting range in Reigate. Yeah, why the RSPCA was able to help a fox in a local garden this week. An eight-year-old girl who has all the makings of being... An entrepreneur and appearing on TV's The Apprentice Show in the future. Plus, we look at recommendations for shady walks in the area.

But first of all, we'll start off, as we always do, with looking back at some of the correspondence that we've had during the course of the week. And last week, of course, we featured Sean Lamberth, and he was talking about the course of the second annual... cyclocross Reigate which is coming to Priory Park next week, it's Friday August the 9th, yeah this coming week and he says thanks so much to the Planet Reigate podcast for inviting us onto your podcast we had a brilliant time, also we had another message from Age Concern Merstam Redhill Reigate who said publicly, listen to this great local podcast. We get a couple of mentions, as indeed they did last week. The Planet Reigate podcast, of course, covering, yes, Reigate, but also the satellite towns and villages in kind of Reigate's orbit. You get what we kind of go with there. Reigate, Redhill, Merston, Buckland, Betchworth, Brockham. And yes, I had a chat with someone recently who said, do you cover Lye? Yes, we do. Do you cover Charlwood?
Yes. Yes, we do. Do you cover Hookwood? Yes. Salford? Yes. It was like a quiz. It really was. And as I often say, we don't do Oxted or Godston. We don't do Gatwick and Crawley. We don't do Dorking. We don't even do Banstead. So sorry, guys, if you're in those areas and you want a similar podcast for you, get in touch with me. we can perhaps sort something out. But at the moment, the planet Reigate area is, and will always be, Reigate, Redhill, and Merced and Buckland, Betchworth and Brockham. And yes, I know they go over several different boroughs. I get that completely. But you know what? Boroughs are just a line on a map, aren't they? And they're different from constituencies, and they're different from water areas, and they're different from postcodes very often, and they're different from telephone codes very often, and all sorts of things. So... The planet Reigate area. One more time. Reigate, Redhill, Merston, Buckland, Bechworth and Brockham.
The towns and villages in the orbit of the borough town, I suppose you would call it, of Reigate. Where the Roseroom Tea Rooms are. Who we mentioned last week because they've moved up the High Street. From one end of the High Street essentially to the other end of the High Street. Just near Marks and Spencer's now. Thank you so much for the shout out last week. It's so lovely.
