Redhill Library has had to close with immediate effect following further investigations of the known reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in the building.

Surrey County Council understands the short notice closure of the library will cause disruption for library users and staff. However, as residents would expect, safety is the Council’s top priority.

At present, as the discovery of RAAC in the library building is very recent, further urgent work will need to be undertaken before Surrey County Council can provide any details on mitigation measures or timelines for re-opening.
