Shops and restaurants in Leatherhead are set to benefit from council funding that will make two streets more attractive and customer friendly.

Mole Valley Council plans to invest in the High Street and Church Street, carrying out urgent repairs and making the roads safer.

The authority will launch a public questionnaire to find out how residents and businesses would like it to manage Leatherhead in the future.

It will ask about issues including vehicle access to the pedestrianised streets, and opportunities to enhance the town, such as the area by the Leatherhead Theatre, in Church Street.

The council will hold a public exhibition after the consultation is completed early next year.
