Business Directory
We have commissioned a local business directory and searchable database for the borough, which will be ready at the end of April. You may soon get a call from a company called Burrows to verify your details so they can be included in the database. This database is completely free for businesses and will be accessed from Reigate & Banstead Borough Council's website. Once live, businesses will be able to update their own details on the database.
It is a great opportunity for residents to buy local and support their local businesses. We hope you are as excited about it as we are!

Have you herd?
The cow parade is coming ..
|
The idea of the Cow Parade is that individuals, companies and schools will sponsor a life-size fibreglass cow and either decorate it themselves, or bring in an artist to do it. The cows will have GPS to allow tracking of the cows, this is used for geocaching The cows will then be displayed around Surrey before being herded to the inaugural Surrey Hills Food, Drink and Music Festival next summer where they will be auctioned off for charity. Those judged to be extra special will be auctioned at a glittering ceremony held at a unique London location later in the year.
See their website if you are interested in finding out more
