Horley East & Salfords

The Horley East & Salfords ward lies on the eastern edge of the Reigate and Banstead borough, bordering the county of West Sussex. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing developments, from post-war estates to more recent constructions. It is bordered by the main railway line to the south, which historically defined its settlement pattern. The land is generally flat, with the River Mole forming a natural boundary to the north, separating it from the Horley Central ward.

Local infrastructure centres on Salfords station, providing a direct rail link to Gatwick Airport and London. The ward contains several industrial and business parks near the A23 London Road, which supports local employment. A notable community feature is the presence of the Royal Earlswood Park, a large former hospital site now redeveloped into housing, which retains extensive landscaped grounds. Open spaces include Salfords Park and playing fields associated with local schools.
