Bagshot Village

Follow the link below to the main information page for this initiative, which comes into operation in Surrey Heath next month. There is a link from this page to a pdf giving the actual names of roads involved. Many roads in Bagshot will be affected, so worth a look.

BPFA AGM Tuesday 29th November at the Pavilion College Ride GU19 5ET 6.30pm All welcome. The BPFA needs your support!!

16/1041 – UNIT 2, ADJACENT TO WAITROSE,150-152 LONDON ROAD, BAGSHOT
A further planning application has been submitted for the empty unit next to Waitrose, this time wanting a three split.
If you remember, Notcutts was supposed to return to Bagshot when the development was completed, and even though they own the site, they decided not to fulfil that agreement.
The initial planning permission was given for two units only, a partnership of Notcutts and Waitrose, and this ‘two unit only’ development, was upheld earlier this year by a higher authority other than our local councils, when an application was submitting requesting the Notcutt unit be divided into four separate retail outlets. (The building was divided into four during the build, so in effect, this was a retrospective application). The new application is now asking for the ‘Notcutt unit’ to be divided into three – including yet another cafe. Bearing in mind, Costa Coffee will just be across the road at the old Bird in Hand, having been won on appeal, but not allowing our own councillors to have a say in the matter. None of our local councillors knew of the permission being given, until the work started last week. SHBC planners are now starting to take any decision making away from the people who represent us – if our councillors are not kept in the loop, how are they suppose to answer our questions?. Every objection to the original Costa Coffee planning application, was regarding not only deflecting trade away from our own cafe businesses in the village, but more importantly the traffic exiting and entering an already complex piece of the A30.

BAGSHOT INFANT SCHOOL CHRISTMAS FAIR
Saturday 26th November 2-4pm

Join us for festive stalls and games, fantastic raffle prizes and Santa’s grotto

Bagshot has had a very special tradition for the last few years, which involves all the children of Bagshot and other special groups in the village.

Every year, Fairy Nuff – Bagshot’s own special fairy, asks the children in the schools, pre-schools, nurseries, toddler groups, churches and beyond, to write a Christmas wish.  This wish or message can be for themselves, their family, friends or for  wider world issues. It maybe in the form of a picture, words or simply a name. These wishes and messages are written on special cards, which are then collected in and laminated by Fairy Nuff’s little (and big) helpers. These are then hung on the safety fence around the Bagshot tree, so they can be read by family and friends, passing villagers and hopefully  Father Christmas himself.They really are a delight to look at and read, the children work so hard on them and some are very thought provoking.

To make it extra special we ask Rev. Andreas Sistig to come down from St Anne’s Church to bless our wishes and our tree, before the lights are switched on.  We also sing some Christmas songs and Carols before and afterwards, to get us in the Christmas spirit. Word sheets are provided! This event starts at 4.30pm by the big tree with the lights being switched on at 5pm, and then followed by about 30 minutes of more singing – weather dependent of course!!

This part of the day is organised by Fairy Nuff’s team of helpers from Bagshot Events and follows on from the end of the Bagshot Christmas Market, (which is organised by Bagshot Business Association).  If you need a blank card to write a special wish, , please send an email to events@bagshotvillage.com with your name and address and we will get one to you as soon as possible. The cards stay up until 12th Night, so plenty of time to get down to read them! If you need information about the Bagshot Christmas Street Market, please contact Bagshot Business Association.

Thank you and very early Seasonal Greetings

Tina Carney – Fairy Nuff’s Chief Helper and Coordinator of Wishes!
