Or more specifically, your Planet Reigate Podcast. Hello, this is Peter Stewart. Welcome to episode 59. And this is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week. Well, our special Halloween edition of the show. Stand by for a few spooky surprises, some supernatural interruptions, plus a full listing of our haul of Halloween events and a few fireworks too. In the news, the result of decisions on whether to build a high-rise building or two in Redhill Town Centre. We got full reaction after Wednesday night's council meeting. Nylon line traps have been found on paths at Priory Park. I'll give you the full story and what the police told me when I approached them. West Street Rygate works there have all but finished, but there are more to come on the A25 all the way through to Dorking. I'll tell you about a women's only self-defence course locally, which is being set up. A local pizza place, which closed earlier on this year, has now reopened. Repairs to a local footpath that seemed to be flooded all year round will keep our fingers crossed for this winter.
Huge success for a local charity and their fundraising campaign. I'll give you the fantastic details. Why a local school wants your old clothes.

Thank you for the loan of your ears this week. Yes, so plenty still to come, including, as I mentioned at the top of the show, that big decision. If you haven't heard it yet, we got reaction to that big decision about the high-rise flats and that planning application at Redhill Station. That's been rumbling on for months and months and months, hasn't it? And a lot of people, understandably, quite concerned about what it might mean for the roads in the area and the facilities, and also trying to get from one side of Redhill... one side of the railway, to the other side of the railway station, and of course Carrington School and so on. So, as I say, more on that on the way, and of course a few spooky surprises as well. On Reigate High Street.
You may remember when Nando's was Tony Tobin's dining room restaurant. That closed down in 2017, but when it was open, a waiter noticed something strange about the bar area. Tony invited TV psychic Sally Morgan to take part in a seance with fellow psychic Debbie Davis. During the visit, which was broadcast live on Facebook, the pair claimed they spoke to the spirits of a woman called Nora and a mysterious man. Electromagnetic field meters apparently indicated a possible spirit being, and the team saw orbs of light flying around the room. along with a shadow in the corner that they believe to be Billy, the spirit of a boy from the Reigate workhouse.
And Louise has been saying that congratulations, your podcast this week was great. Thank you so much for the coverage. I listened to it with my mum in the car. She's downloading Spotify to listen to more. Thanks again, Peter. Louise, thanks very much indeed for that. Also got another message in. Planet Reigate podcast has got a mention in this month's Sandcross School newsletter to parents.
