Reigate welcomes Pride in Surrey

Roller skaters, dancers, costumes and fabulous outfits were all part of the Pride in Surrey parade through Reigate town centre on Saturday (9 September), the first time the annual event has come to the east of the county.

Emergency services, charities, councils, schools and companies, from across Surrey, were among those braving the unseasonably hot weather to take part in the procession from the town hall down the High Street to Priory Park.

There, in a ticketed area within the park, crowds enjoyed entertainment throughout the day, including performances from two stages.

Pride in Surrey (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) aims to celebrate, educate and connect the LGBTQ+ community and allies, with the first event held in Woking in 2019, then Godalming in 2021 and Camberley in 2022.

Many took to social media to share photos from the day - posts from the borough council and Reigate Business Guild are below.

Road closures for Run Reigate on Sunday

The annual Run Reigate takes place this Sunday (17 September) in Priory Park, with a half-marathon, 10k, 5k, and kids' races of just over a mile. Local road closures will be in place during the early part of the day, as shown on the map below.

More information about the event, event village and how to sign up, are on the Run Reigate website. (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)

Collision outside school in Linkfield Lane, Redhill

Police were called to Linkfield Lane, Redhill, outside St Joseph's Catholic School, on Friday morning (8 September) following reports of a collision between a silver Honda Jazz and three pedestrians.

"We are appealing for anyone with CCTV, dashcam or helmet cam footage to get in touch. Were you in the area around Linkfield Lane between 8.45am and 8.55am [Friday] morning? Did you witness the collision or do you have any information that may assist our investigation? "
