4. Redhill and Reigate Town Council(s)
Redhill and Reigate are the two largest towns in the borough and together form around 40,000, or 40%, of the borough electorate (projection for 2030). Feedback received from the summer consultation was divided between a single new parish or two separate parishes so the recommendation is for the area to become parished and we are consulting on two options
Option 1
The proposal is to bring both towns together into a single new parish split into eight wards along the same boundaries as the county divisions and borough wards (see table below and map on page 3). The proposed name of the new parish is Redhill and Reigate Town Council.
The wards and the number of councillors recommended for this option are as follows:
| Parish ward | Electorate: 1 May 2030 | Number of town councillors | Electors to councillors |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Earlswood | 3,927 | 2 | 1,964 |
| Redhill East | 7,316 | 3 | 2,439 |
| South Park and Woodhatch | 6,886 | 3 | 2,295 |
| Redhill West | 6,326 | 3 | 2,109 |
| Meadvale and Hatchlands | 4,427 | 2 | 2,214 |
| Reigate | 8,354 | 3 | 2,785 |
| Chartfield | 3,126 | 2 | 1,563 |
| Merstham | 6,693 | 3 | 2,231 |
| Total: | 47,055 | 21 | 2,241 |
Option 2
The proposal is to create two separate parishes that reflect the separate identities of Redhill and Reigate split along the same boundaries as the county divisions as follows (see also map on page 3):
- Redhill Town Council would contain 5 wards and a total of 13 councillors
- Reigate Town Council would contain 3 wards and a total of 10 councillors
The wards and the number of councillors recommended for Redhill Town Council are as follows:
| Parish ward | Electorate: 1 May 2030 | Number of town councillors | Electors to councillors |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Earlswood | 3,927 | 2 | 1,964 |
| Redhill East | 7,316 | 3 | 2,439 |
| Redhill West | 6,326 | 3 | 2,109 |
| Meadvale and Hatchlands | 4,427 | 2 | 2,214 |
| Merstham | 6,693 | 3 | 2,231 |
| Total: | 28,689 | 13 | 2,191 |
The wards and the number of councillors recommended for Reigate Town Council are as follows:
| Parish ward | Electorate: 1 May 2030 | Number of town councillors | Electors to councillors |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Park and Woodhatch | 6,886 | 3 | 2,295 |
| Reigate | 8,354 | 3 | 2,785 |
| Chartfield | 3,126 | 2 | 1,563 |
| Total: | 18,366 | 8 | 2,214 |
