The regeneration of Merstham has taken a step forward.

Work on the Iron Horse site is due to begin next month.

The project is a collaboration between Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, Surrey County Council and Raven Housing Trust.

Principal Contractor W. Stirland will construct a three-storey building on the former Iron Horse public house site.

It will consist of four retail units and ten flats; and is scheduled for completion by Spring 2016.

Meanwhile work to regenerate community facilities on the Triangle Site is due to get underway later this month.
