2. Horley High Street, subway and central car park improvement plans

The Council is proposing improvements to Horley High Street, subway and Central car park so that they better serve local people, are more welcoming and to help boost the local economy.

Public realm improvements to the High Street

Late Summer 2025:  public realm improvements planned to commence on site with an anticipated completion date in early 2026. 

The works will be managed by Surrey County Council in collaboration with the Borough Council and be delivered by Ringway.

February 2025: Network Rail connected the new pumps to an upgraded power supply.

December 2024 to January 2025: Network Rail completed works to the tracks and subway superstructure.

July and August 2024: Network Rail undertook drainage improvement works to the Subway to reduce future flooding issues, to help keep the subway useable and improve safety.  The scheme included installing a new pumping system, drains and water catch pits, to help take water away more quickly.
