This is the Planet Reigate Podcast.
Hello Planeteers, this is Peter Stewart with the show exclusively, uniquely and proudly about the hills, the high streets and the heaths of the Planet Reigate area and it's episode 48 for Saturday the 10th of August 2024 and this week this is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here. Well, this week we'll hear from four wonderful winners of volunteer awards locally.
Yeah, they give up their free time to help others in our local communities and are all winners of the Reigate and Banstead Borough Council Recognition Certificates. And as well as hearing about what they do and why, surprisingly, there are a few recipe tips in there as well. Intrigued? Stay tuned.
Plus, in our new sequence this week, police investigates an attempted murder in Salfords and a death in a crash on Rygate Hill. We answer your questions about the future of the Harlequin ahead of an extraordinary meeting of the council this coming week. 120 homes are now likely to be built near Hawley. I'll tell you where.
A warning about pollution in the River Mole and rubbish being dumped near Horse Hill. Extra help being given to parents of sick children at the hospital. And also there, a new summer house has been opened for cancer patients. News or more, white lines and yellow lines. Thank you very much. And news of the passing of a local farmer.
You may not have known him, but you will surely know of his work. I'll tell you some of what John Shinner achieved in his long and fruitful life later on in the show. And in sport, we feature judo and football, run Reigate and the Reigate Triathlon. We have the Good Time Guide of events across the area across the week ahead.
Planet Reigate Stars features a lost toy bus and our 60-second soundscape before we go at the end of the show. This week, from a train track in Reigate.
This is the Planet Reigate Podcast with Peter Stewart.
First of all, talking about a few kind of catch-ups and some communications over the last week or so. Now, we've recently been talking, haven't we, about why Paul House in Bancroft Road in Rygate is called Paul House. And I suggested that there used to be a swimming pool there, but it was odd because there was another one just around the corner. opposite the Town Hall in Reigate.
