Message from Surrey County Council

As part of Surrey County Council’s commitment to improving roads and pavements, Woodhatch Road, Reigate has been selected for Surface Dressing.

The process of Surface Dressing is completed in separate stages, and the road will need to be closed at each stage. New advanced warning signs will be placed on the road to notify you of each closure, so please keep an eye. Where appropriate, there can be several stages to these works that take place before the actual surface dressing:
•Siding out of vegetation
•Stud (cat’s eyes) removal
•Pre-patching

We will begin by carrying out Pre-patching works in preparation for our Surface Dressing Programme in summer 2026.

These works will take place Tuesday 23 June for 38 days – 10am to 4pm. The road will be closed from junction with Pendleton Road to junction with Brighton Road.

We will make sure you can get to and from your house or business when it is safe to do so. Please talk to a member of our staff on site if you need help – they are keen to deliver the work with minimal disruption to you.

It is essential to keep the road free from parked vehicles to enable the work to proceed as planned.

The work is weather dependant and can be delayed by bad weather or other factors. Please look at our information boards on site for date changes.

🎨 We’re inviting professional artists from a wide range of creative backgrounds to submit their proposals to design and deliver new public artworks in Westvale Park.

We’re looking for artists who specialise in public art and can help bring the community together through imaginative use of materials and storytelling to create a series of distinctive artworks that celebrate Westvale Park’s identity and its unique sense of place.

The commissions are being funded through a Section 106 agreement, where funding from developers has been set aside to bring public art to the neighbourhood.

I’m running some FREE Introduction to Baby Signing sessions over the Summer holidays for babies under 6 months, and PAYG summer specials for parents with babies under 2 years (plus their older siblings).

If you ever wondered what baby signing is, or you’d love a fun activity to do with your little one, this is a lovely way to try it with no pressure and no ongoing commitment 🙌

Current families need not sign up, I’ve got your back already 😊

✨Songs + simple signs
✨Helps little ones communicate before they can talk
✨A relaxed, friendly session for parents too
🗓️Dates are being finalised — register now for the wait list so you’ll know when bookings open.

➡️Sign up here (free): https://linktr.ee/Singandsign or via bio

(Also — if you’re part of an antenatal group and there are 6+ of you, message me as I may be able to arrange a FREE private intro session!)

The Parish Council community and family fun day will be this Saturday 13 June from 1pm to 5pm at Salfords Social Club. This is a great day out for everyone with a variety of live music being played through the afternoon including band, Something Like That, A to Z Flute Choir and Jazz Peeps. We will have a BBQ and licenced bar, Sidlow WI will be selling home made cakes and tea and East Surrey NHS Retirement Fellowship will be serving strawberries and cream. Salfords Pathfinder Scouts will have a tin can alley stall and Christ the King Church offering their tombola. We have many craft stalls offering gifts to purchase. There will be a sweet stall, ice cream van and we hope Surrey Fire and Rescue Service from Salfords station will be able to pop in with their vehicle. This always goes down well giving the kids a chance to explore. There will be an inflatable assault course, Punch and Judy show, tug of war, safe cracker and china smash. It looks like the weather is going to be kind so why not pop down for a friendly, fun filled and social afternoon. Hope to see you there.
