Sustainable Redhill is a network of the various local environmental and community organisations in Redhill, Reigate and the surrounding area.

We meet for Redhill Green Drinks on the third Tuesday of each month, 8:00 p.m. at The Home Cottage pub (map) in Redhill. We also organise meetings on specific topics related to local sustainability issues, and publicise activities and events of local groups in the network. To contact us see below.


Upcoming Events

Community Planning Forum

On Saturday 15 November, we’ll be holding an

Open Forum for everyone


Redhill must change. But what do you want in terms of community facilities? What transport solutions, housing do we need? What should be the preferred option for waste and energy? How can we be secure in energy and jobs, and act sufficiently on climate change? What about our parks, and safe access around the town? What are your views, concerns?

 

This is an opportunity to share, and present a collective vision for the town to the council before the preferred option for the town centre is finalised. 

Redhill Methodist Church Hall 9.45 – 1.00 Sat 15 Nov

Refreshments Available

Everyone Welcome


The event will be supported and facilitated by The Glass-House Community Led Design, an independent charity which helps communities play a more active and informed role in physical regeneration.

Climate Change Talks

If you would like someone to give a talk on climate change or other sustainability issues, please get in touch. We have plenty of people and resources available and have had excellent feedback from previous talks. For schools please contact Claire at legrandc@bv.com, and for other groups please contact Rob, rob@SustainableRedhill.org.uk, 01737 771614.

100 Months!  It is now generally accepted that we have around 8 years or quite possibly less, in which to achieve significantly falling levels of carbon emissions. Failure to do so will almost certainly result in uncontrollable global warming, with catastrophic consequences.

What Can be Done Now? As individuals, we can each make an important contribution to reducing our energy needs. Please click here for ideas on saving energy and cutting carbon emissions.

Transition Towns Redhill & Reigate

Whether you are concerned about climate change or would like to be more independent of increasing oil prices, there is an urgent need to find a more environmentally friendly way to live. Throughout the UK, people are working together to make a transition to a more sustainable society, independent of the fossil fuel economy.

Over the last year or so, the town of Lewes has made inspiring steps towards this goal (more). If you are interested in doing something similar here - or would like more information, then please contact Rob on 01737 771 614 or email rob@sustainableredhill.org.uk.
