Message from Surrey County Council

As part of Surrey County Council’s commitment to improving roads and pavements, Three Arch Road, Redhill has been selected for resurfacing works. These works will involve the installation of a high friction surface at the entrance and exit of the Three Arch Road roundabout.

Works will take place overnight on Friday 30th October, beginning at 9pm and finishing at 5am on Saturday 31 October.

A road closure will be in place from the pedestrian crossing to the Three Arch roundabout

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 or visit the website one.network for the latest information.

Working overnight is necessary on traffic sensitive roads to reduce disruption during peak times. It also enables longer uninterrupted working before the closure is lifted for daytime traffic, and results in a shorter period of traffic congestion. There will be some noise, but we will try to carry out the bulk of the noisiest works before midnight.

We thank you for your patience while we carry out these works and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via our website www.surreycc.gov.uk or you can reach us on 0300 200 1003.

Our series of BookTrust Storytime sessions is starting THIS SATURDAY!

17th October, 2:30-3:30pm
FREE and no need to book ahead

At each session, we will read two stories together, and then do crafts and activities based on the theme of the books. This Saturday's session is themed around 'Forests and Woods' and we'll be reading the award-nominated "Squish!" and the absolute classic "The Gruffalo"
These Storytimes are aimed at ages 0-5, and are perfect for helping develop listening and language skills - as well as simply sharing stories together and having fun!

These sessions are completely free and perfect if you and your child have never been to the library or read much before, though avid readers will love them too!
Recommended for ages 0-5, but older siblings are welcome as well

📣 We’ve launched a new small grants scheme to help improve community facilities. 📣

Voluntary, community and not-for-profit organisations across the borough can apply for a grant of between £3,000 and £20,000 to improve facilities that support residents and bring communities together.

Applications for a share of the £200,000 fund close on 2 November 2026.

The scheme builds on the success of the Council’s Community Asset Transfer and Support Programme, which has helped 25 organisations to take on community assets or with grants to improve them - including sports pavilions, scout huts and village halls.
