Bagshot Community Pre School is, as it says, community owned. It is run by a very dedicated committee of parents, which changes almost yearly as their children move through. Every year they need to raise money  to ensure the children have the best resources as they start their educational journey and this year the committee have organised a brilliant raffle. This is a raffle too good to miss and tickets can be purchased from Faye or Hannah, whose contact details are on the poster.

We need to spread the word about the new all night homeless cafe.

It is on the A30 in Camberley in the Scout Hut opposite the Arena Leisure Centre. It is open every night from 10pm through to 7.30am and offers a warm safe place for those who need to get out of the cold and get a nice hot meal and some company.
Please pass this info on to anyone who may need it or contact Josie Rawlings if you know where someone is who may need help.

Thank you all

We are looking to put together care packages we can hand out to local homeless people to help them through the freezing winter weather.
The items we need are as follows:
Sleeping bags
Blankets
Sleeping mats
Thermos flasks with cup/ bowl
Spoons
Cereal bars
Other easy to carry snack items
Tin soups
Tin meals ie breakfast in tin etc
Warm hats
Scarves
Balaclava’s
Gloves
Thermals
Underwear
Socks
Waterproof clothing
Warm sturdy shoes/boots
Reusable hand warmers
Warm clothing in general
Rucksacks

You can get a lot of these items cheap on Amazon or try local charity shops. Please contact Josie Rawlings if you have something to donate and we can arrange collection or it can be dropped off with Andrea Rimmer at the Old Dean Bowling Club, GU15 4BD between 9 and 5 day times or to the Scout Hut on the A30 Camberley from 10pm. Thank you .

We don’t often put items from other villages, but this is important as many of us do use Red Road routinely. Please look at this petition and please sign.

Dear Resident,

A planning application for redevelopment at Woodside Cottage, Chapel Lane, Bagshot has now been submitted to the local planning authority.  The proposals are for the following form of development:

“Redevelopment of the site to comprise 40 dwellings (1 x 1-bed, 14 x 2-bed, 18 x 3-bed, 6 x 4-bed and 1 x 5-bed) with 80 parking spaces and associated access, landscaping and provision of an area of Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANGs)”

Since the public exhibition the project team have been working hard to consider the comments that were received.  The team have given consideration to the following elements of the proposals:

• The potential to add a footpath along the northern edge of the site was explored to assist with pedestrian movements along this part of Chapel Lane. However, due to the presence of trees and shrubs along this boundary, which are important for the character of the site, it has not been possible to include this footpath within the proposals.
• The possibility of providing additional passing places along Chapel Lane has been assessed. To assist with the flow of traffic along this part of the road the main site access bellmouth into the development has been increased in size to provide this additional space.
• Changes have been made to the site layout to avoid root protection areas of important trees and to move the bridge link northwards to avoid a coppiced beech tree.
• Following the exhibition, additional traffic surveys were commissioned to further assess the traffic situation in the vicinity of the site
• Following discussions with Surrey County Council the potential to move the vehicle accesses into the site further to the east was investigated. However, the presence of large Oak trees along this boundary and the need to retain them in the streetscene means that this is not possible

It is expected that the Council will be in a position to validate the planning application in the next few weeks and the period of 13 weeks in which they have to determine it will begin.

Kind Regards,

Shanly Homes

BE_2015-11-12 – Family History – Poster (Colour)(A4)

Huge faux pas by Tina and the Owl Hunt ….. the poster said that closing date for forms was 10th November – although the owls are only out over half term and were collected earlier this week. It should have been 3rd November and I sincerely apologise to the families who haven’t handed their forms in yet.
So, please still hand your form in at ALBOE and we will organise more prizes for the second batch of forms handed in by next Tuesday.
It was picked up by an eagle eyed participant …. we hadn’t even noticed as we had 3rd in our diaries …. so we have severely reprimanded ourselves
and will try harder next time
