Up to £10,000,000 has been earmarked for work to bring the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill back into use. 

The funding was one of several recommendations agreed at Reigate and Banstead Council’s Executive meeting last Thursday.  The Harlequin has been closed since September 2023 when the presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) was first discovered in the building.

Works to the theatre could take up to five years to resolve so the Council has been looking at alternative venues for arts and cultural provision in the borough while the Harlequin is inaccessible. A costed feasibility report will look at the provision of a 200 seater Redhill performance venue for use for the next three to five years. 

A temporary grant scheme will be set up to help displaced users with extra costs of using other venues during the prolonged closure of the Harlequin.

CAA members to strike

Workers at the Civil Aviation Authority are to strike in a dispute over pay – but bosses said there would be no disruption to airlines.

Members of the Prospect union at the organisation’s head office in Crawley, will walk out for 24 hours on 6 February.

Prospect said a 3-4% pay rise had been imposed on staff, which it complained had not kept pace with other deals in the industry and civil service.

A spokesperson for the CAA says, it is ‘disappointing’ that Prospect members have voted to take industrial action.
