We are now half way through the consultation period for the Redhill Town Centre Action plan, which we highlighted in our previous article, and we thank all of you who have provided feedback to us and to the Council so far.
In response to requests from local residents, community groups and we as Councillors, the Council is organising two additional events to enable more people to have their say:
- An additional full day of a manned exhibition stand, in the Belfry, from 9am-5pm on Saturday 18th February - this will be manned by Council officers and Councillors, including the responsible Portfolio Holder, Cllr Natalie Bramhall.
- A workshop for local residents’ associations and other community groups - please contact us if you want to find out more.
Cllr Rois Amiah, ward councillor for Redhill East, commented:
We have received lots of useful comments, some positive, some critical, and it is our job to see that they are all considered properly.
“Although the outlook for the economy in general, and Redhill in particular, is uncertain, many respondents recognise that a balanced approach, between retail, leisure, housing and other uses in the town centre is a sensible one.
“One resident has even reminded us that the Council helped regenerate Reigate after its well publicised problems in the 1990s, by adopting a more flexible local planning regime, so we have some reason to be confident that we can improve Redhill through this action plan.”
Please refer to our previous article for all of the details on how to respond to the consultation, and don’t hesitate to have your say - this is vitally important for the town.
