[edit] Nick Owen

Nick Owen appears twice in the "famous residents" section. Should 1 be deleted?

Confused. Actually they're two different people aren't they? Of whom one (Nick Owen) probably doesn't live in Reigate. Mucky Duck 12:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Nicholas Owen (former ITV Royal Correspondent) lives in Reigate. I doubt that Nick Owen (as in Anne and Nick) does, as he works in Birmingham. I've removed him from the list.

Removed the following section:

[edit] Crime

There is quite a substantion amount of crime in Reigate, most famously the Priory Park and Quarry. There has recently been many arson attacks in the area of Reigate, such as the recent Stable fires and many such fires in the Quarry. It is beleived that these crimes are mostly carried out by youths of the ages between 13-18. Also, a culture of underage drinking is a growing trend in Reigate, mainly the well known Priory and the Castle Grounds.

If there's any sources for this it could be replaced, as it had some merit (unlike the other sections I removed) Seydlitz (talk) 16:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reigate Fort

There is a section in London Defence Positions regarding Reigate Fort, could that be included or an explicit link made to in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seydlitz (talk • contribs) 17:02, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
