Surrey Fire and Rescue Service: Upgrade to Wray Park Facilities

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service’s training facilities at Wray Park in Reigate will be upgraded. 

The investment, which was approved by Surrey County Council’s Cabinet, will include improvements to the firehouse and training facilities in critical areas such as working at height, live fire behaviour and use of breathing apparatus. 

The upgrade at Wray Park is part of a wider initiative to modernise Surrey’s fire stations, with redevelopment projects planned for Lingfield and Reigate. 

A public consultation event will be held in May for local residents to find out more about the proposals.

Horley & Crawley Celebrate St. George’s Day

St. George’s day is officially this coming Tuesday 23rd April.

In the 15th century St. George’s day was a major feast and national holiday in England on a par with Christmas! The tradition of celebration faded by the end of the 18th century after the union of England and Scotland.

Nevertheless, St. George’s day was celebrated in style today. Click below to hear more from the High Street, Horley and Queen Square, Crawley.
