Full Episode
This is the Planet Reigate Podcast. Hello, this is Peter Stewart. Welcome to episode 57. This is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week. Well, last Saturday I was at the first Arts and Culture Consultation event run by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, focusing of course on the Harlequin. There have been five events across the borough this week.
I toured the one in Redhill and spoke with several people as they left to find out what they thought of the exhibition, the questions... and also their views about the future of the building itself and arts provision in general. Hear what they told me later on in the show. And after that, I went to the Betchworth Apple Day event. I was really impressed with all that was going on there.
Spoke with several of those who put it on and others too about their celebration of the humble fruit. So here about the Harlequin consultation reaction. and the Betchworth Apple Day later on in the show. Plus, as well as hearing reaction to the Harlequin consultation, we've got an update on Redhill Library and its planned reopening date.
Local people are being asked to be part of the solution for tackling antisocial behaviour. Thames Water has been ordered to investigate and take necessary action after complaints about sewage flowing into gardens in Lye. A plea from Rygate-based firefighters after a problem they had getting to a call-out this week. A local school is one of six in Surrey given cash for an environmental scheme.
Two playgrounds have been reopened locally after being refurbished. I'll tell you where they are. Do you want use of a free hall or studio space for your group, team, training or sport? I'll tell you how you can get it, but you'll have to act fast. Relief for shoppers at Reigate Morrison's. I'll tell you what changes there have been, which will make your experience better.
Gatwick has started its new graduate program. I'll tell you how someone can apply. In sports, an unusual match is happening at Redhill Football Club this week. Do you run a local business, group, charity? Anywhere in the Planet Reigate area, I've details of a one-off and pretty unusual networking event happening next month.
It's called Talk and Chalk and may give you an idea of what sport it's based around. Plus, in weather, it's been wet, wet, wet, hasn't it? I've got some more local stats for you to show just how wet it's been. We've got the good time guide of events across the area across the week ahead. Planet Rygate stars for staff at the hospital. And our 60-second soundscape.
Before we go, at the end of the show, natural sounds from a place you know. This week... from Reigate and Saturday Cyclists on Flanchford Roads. This is the Planet Reigate podcast with Peter Stewart.
Welcome to this week's episode. It's okay, you don't have to back away from your speaker. I don't think my cold is going to be transmitted to you from my studio to where you are listening. But yeah, it's been a bit of a rough week for me this week, but hopefully over the worst of the lurgy. Next Phase Coffee have been in touch this week.
