A multi-million pound project to give Merstham a facelift with new community facilities, shops and homes is set to start.

Work’s due to start after Easter and is due to be completed by Spring of next year.

A new community centre will be built on part of the ‘Triangle’ site, at the junction of Portland Drive and Bletchingley Road, along with four restaurants and takeaways.

A new Morrisons M Local convenience store will be built on the former Iron Horse pub site, along with three other shops. Ten shared equity flats will be built above, in partnership with the Raven Housing Trust, to provide more homes that local people can afford.
