This is the Planet Reigate Podcast.
And this is Peter Stewart bringing it to you for Saturday the 6th of July 2024. It is episode 43. Welcome to this week's show. And all sorts of things going on this week. My guests, Lucille is with me from Petite Ecole, a weekend and holiday club French school in Redhill that teaches French to very young children all the way through to A-Levelers.
Hear from her and some of the students a bit later on. Plus, on Today of All Days... Let's... I'm hesitating to say this... Let's talk politics. OK, nothing about this election. Don't turn off. But what I've been doing is I've been taking a look back at some of the colourful characters and scandalous stories from years gone by and how they still play a part in local life here today.
Oh, and I should say right here, right now, that some of that feature contains the use of AI generated voices. You'll hear more about that a little bit later on. In the news this week, this is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here. Plans to turn an office block in Redhill into almost 100 flats. A special award for a woman in Hawley for services to the community.
Plans already underway for a local winter night shelter. A reminder of free parking in some of our local towns. We have details of two new shops which have opened. A huge new arts festival is taking over Red Hill in the autumn. We have advanced details. Plus, the best local place is just a drive away to pick your own fruit.
Talking about driving, we've got details of next weekend's M25 closure as well. In sport, free run, Reigate places up for grabs. And a couple of unusual jobs, one at the Belfry and the other where the job description is, you have to like lemon sherbets. That sounds intriguing, doesn't it? Stay tuned for more on that one.
Of course, we've got the good time guide of events across the area across the week. We've got Planet Reigate stars for people who helped a distressed woman in Reigate. Plus, our 60-second soundscape before we go at the end of the show this week. Well, last week we had bells at the belfry. This week, bells from a local church. All that and more as the Planet Reigate podcast continues.
This is the Planet Reigate podcast with Peter Stewart.
And of course, you'll find the time that each of those features are on in our show notes, so you can scooch straight through to that particular point. And don't forget to subscribe to the show in your favourite podcast app. And if that wasn't enough, let's look back briefly at episode 31. We heard from Redhill musician Jamie, how he grew up in the area and went on to be a producer.
