This is the Planet Reigate Podcast.
I'm Peter Stewart and welcome to this week's edition of the Planet Reigate Podcast, episode 38. Earlswood, Charlewood and Outwood, Buckland, Betchworth and Prockham, Reigate, Redhill and Merston. Welcome to your podcast just for you. The show exclusively, uniquely and proudly about RH1, 2 and 3.
This week, my guests will hear from Phaedra and her local Saturday morning dog group that helps our four-legged furballs find new friends, and hear from Pippa with all that's great about Redhill, but what, in her suggestion, could make it better still? In the news this week, the latest stats on people visiting Redhill, the Belfry and Marks and Spencers.
New training facilities at Surrey Fire and Rescue HQ at Ray Park. The local ambulance service is trialling fully electric vehicles. Free support for businesses locally. There's a day-long meeting that you can go to to get lots of help and advice. We've got an opening date for a new restaurant cafe in Redhill, but there's some confusion about where it actually is.
The BBC has cancelled an appearance in Salford. The new pilot scheme from a national charity is starting locally. I'll give you the details. Free health services come to Earlswood, including a healthy eating and weight management course and free NHS health checks. And the closure is announced of another local theatre.
Also in this week's show, of course, we've got the good time guide of events across the area over the next seven days and a special look back at bygone days of the Reigate pageants. Apparently they were quite a thing back in the 1900s. I give you a quick recap, a little bit of a history lesson, if you like. We'll go back in time to tell you what the pageants were all about.
Plus, I give you the local roadworks heads up so you can avoid the holdups. And I've also got Planet Rygate stars from, well... liverpool actually find out the link with the planet reigate area later on in the show and our 60 second soundscape before we go at the end of the show this week from brockham this is the planet reigate podcast with peter stewart Yeah, that's me.
And don't forget to subscribe to the show in your favourite podcast app and tell your friends all about it as well. Really appreciate it. First of all, let's go to our Planet Reigate postbag or mailbox, really, isn't it? Because these are emails and social media posts that have come in during the course of the week.
Mentioned Redhill's parachuting priest last week and got a message back from Cliff at St Matthew's Church in Redhill saying, who says, just a note to say a huge thanks for including Reverend Anna in the podcast. Really fantastic. Many congratulations, too, on a great podcast. It's a superb local news and features show. Warm wishes as ever.
