Customer offer from Redhill restaurant closing doors in June

An Arnold restaurant has put in place a 20th anniversary farewell offer as it prepares to close its doors for good.

The Banyan Tree on the outskirts of Redhill will serve customers for the final time at the end of June.

As a mark of appreciation, they are offering £10 off per person when they order a starter and a main when dining in at the restaurant.

Advance booking required and the offer isn't available on Saturdays.

Diners must mention the farewell offer on ordering or booking - using the notes field on the booking system when making a reservation online.

The offer is available now until June 30 when it closes.

A spokesman said: "Two decades of great food and memories at The Banyan Tree, sadly everything comes to an end, so it is with heavy heart we announce our closure at the end of June 2026.

"Customers past and present, focus not on doom and gloom, celebrate 20 years of success with this tremendous dine-in offer

Healthcare trust to replace words ‘he’ and ‘she’ with ‘they’ in updated constitution

All gender-specific language is set to be removed from a Nottinghamshire NHS trust’s documentation.

Nottingham Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is to make the updates to its constitution, with more than 65 incidences of the words “he” and “she” edited to read “they” as part of the proposed changes.

The move is being made in order to bring the constitution level and compliant with the Equality Act 2010.

Director of Governance Keith Wilshere brought the plan before the trust’s board of directors at a meeting on March 26.

A report, explaining the updates, said: “The constitution has been drafted to be compliant with all the present legislation including the Equality Act 2010, all gender specific references have been removed.”

Nottinghamshire Healthcare’s constitution sets out how the trust is run and is required by law according to the NHS Act 2006.
