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.

Last spring and autumn, Reigate and Banstead Council asked residents, shoppers and businesses for feedback on emerging ideas (principles) and designs for Horley High Street and the subway. We also asked how people use the town centre to inform our plans.

Latest designs – February 2023

The Council are now sharing more detailed designs for the High Street and subway improvements, shaped by what people have told us in the previous two rounds of engagement, along with plans for Central Car Park for the first time.

Engagement – autumn 2022

Last autumn, the Council shared details of how the plans for the High Street and subway were shaping up as a result of what people told them in the first consultation. These initial designs were on show at Horley Library from mid August to mid September 2022.

Following the survey, Reigate and Banstead Council has:

• updated traffic and parking surveys
• looked how any proposals would affect existing junctions and neighbouring streets
• spoke to key stakeholders like Horley Town Council and Horley Town Management Group
• worked with Surrey County Council to review the findings of the Reimagining Horley visioning work to ensure that the outcomes and priorities are integrated with our proposals.

Initial proposals – spring 2022

Initial ideas were on display online and at Horley Library, along with opportunities to ‘meet the team’ in Horley precinct to find out more. The consultation ran from 21 February to 14 March.

What happens next

The Borough Council will continue to work with the design team to develop the proposals further and they aim to engage on more detailed designs for the subway again later in the spring or summer 2023.

Engagement on our High Street and subway plans builds on the recent conversations with residents and local stakeholders to develop a community-led vision for Horley that reflects the aspirations of the local community. See Reigate and Banstead Council’s Community vision for Horley page.
