The exhibition at The Belfry Shopping Centre set out proposals for two sites, either side of the railway (Site A and Site B). The proposals involve removing the current station forecourt, taxi rank and vehicle drop-off from the current location at the station’s main entrance, and relocating it to the other side of the railway accessed via the A25 at Redstone Hill, next to the Toby Carvery.
A tall residential apartment tower block is planned next to the main entrance with a second slightly shorter one next to it, providing around 266 new flats.
The developer, Solum Regeneration is a partnership between Network Rail and Kier Property. Residents can submit feedback on the proposals by 11th February via the online form at SolumRedhillStation.co.uk.

A Redhill care home resident marked her 100th birthday in style after receiving one hundred cards from children at a nearby school.

Georgina was in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War where she met her husband. When asked about the secret to her longevity, Georgina said that “laughter is the best medicine” and she “doesn’t take anything too seriously”.
