Reigate News covers Reigate, Redhill, Banstead, Horley and the villages between them, and it reports from documents. When the council decides something, when an application goes in on your road, when the crime figures for your ward shift, there is a public record behind it. We go to that record first, and we link to it so you can read the thing yourself rather than take our word for it. Where a document is genuinely unclear, we say so instead of guessing.
Our patch runs from Banstead, Nork, Tadworth and Kingswood along the top of the Downs, down through Reigate and Redhill, and out to Merstham, Earlswood, Salfords and Horley on the Gatwick edge. We keep the everyday pages current as well, because a bin day you can rely on is worth more than an opinion.
