Reigate and Banstead Borough Council is a fast-paced and ambitious Council, a friendly place to work with a strong team spirit, and enthusiastic colleagues that share our ambitions.
From investing in new housing, retail and leisure facilities – including our flagship development, The Rise in Redhill - to launching an extended social and events offer for all ages from our three community centres, we are proud of our track record of delivering for the borough.
Working towards a greener future, our Environmental Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan the Council has committed to making our operations carbon neutral by 2030 while supporting residents and local businesses to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
