This is the Planet Reigate Podcast.
And hello, welcome to your Planet Reigate Podcast. This is Peter Stewart. Welcome to episode 61. This is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week. Well, my guest this week, Rob Wilson, who runs Veteran Gin in Smallfield, the gin which remembers the nation's fallen in a unique way and whose profits go to help service personnel today.
In the news, first results are in after a series of Harlequin consultation events. Approval has been given for 120 flats in Redhill despite flood safety worries. I'll tell you details of a local drop-in event with advice on keeping your energy bills and water bills low and details too of warm hub locations locally over the winter as well.
An unusual appeal to help children in East Surrey Hospital. Details on how you can help are on the way. And a local charity quick off the mark sending me details of locally grown Christmas trees to raise funds. I'll give you a rundown of local Remembrance Day events happening as well. In sport, we feature a local pool challenge to get involved with.
We have the good time guide of events across the area across the week ahead. Local weather stats so far this winter. Planet Reigate stars from Red Hill this week. And our 60-second soundscape before we go. At the end of the show, natural sounds from a place you know. And this week, from Brockham on the banks of the River Mole with Blackbird, Wren,

The Belfry Shopping Centre, Redhill.
Let's get to it with our news sequence this week. Harlequin updates the response to those open events across the borough. Remember those that happened in October? Well, the council says 160 people went to those various events and they had over 500 questionnaire responses. It doesn't seem an awful lot to me. I mean, that's barely more than the Harlequin Main Theatre actually holds, isn't it?
The council says they're looking at the feedback to help them understand community aspirations, and they'll take all that information to inform the development of options for the future provision, both short-term, medium-term, long-term as well. Not just necessarily at the Harlequin, but it may be somewhere else in the borough. It may never be called the Harlequin again, let's be totally honest.
