What the Society does
  • Aims to encourage a high standard of design in the new architecture of our area and to try and prevent the spoiling of the existing fabric by unsuitable alterations to listed and other important buildings.   The Society's Architecture and Planning Committee has particular responsibilities in these matters.
     
  • Since its foundation in 1952 has been involved with the contrasting towns of Reigate and Redhill, which at that time made up the Borough of Reigate.   The Society's Redhill Committee, composed of local residents, monitors and influences developments in the Redhill area.

  • Since its foundation in 1952 has been concerned with Merstham, and the Society's Merstham Committee (currently suspended) monitored and influenced developments in the Merstham area.
     
  • Campaigns for the retention and improvement of open spaces, and supports the setting up of new ones, such as the Redhill Memorial Park and the Woodhatch Park Project.   The Reigate Society has representatives on the Earlswood Common Steering Group and the Reigate Heath Steering Group, and also has its own Natural Amenities Committee.
     
  • Lobbies for better local transport services, improved road layouts, better parking facilities, etc.   The Society's Transport Committee is active in this area.
