Leatherhead residents asked for views on town

The consultation will ask for the public's views on the future of Leatherhead town centre

Members of the public will be asked for their views on plans to regenerate a Surrey town.

Public events will be held throughout July as part of a public consultation on future plans for Leatherhead.

Information will be available from 8 July regarding proposals for the regeneration of the Swan shopping centre and land within the town's one-way system, known as Bull Hill.

A public consultation will run until 16 September.

Transform Leatherhead plans include a riverside quarter

Mole Valley District Council said the Transform Leatherhead project aimed to celebrate the market town's history and character.

The council said: "High quality, people-friendly streets and spaces will combine to link the riverside, railway station, business and residential areas with the heart of the town centre."

Revitalising the Swan Centre will form part of plans to create a "retail and leisure quarter", alongside a riverside quarter, an urban quarter and looking at transport links in the town.

The consultation had been postponed because of the 4 July general election but dates have now been rescheduled.

Public events will take place on 11, 13, 16 and 20 July online, in the Swan Centre and at The Jam Place community centre.
