Chapel Lane : 44 houses proposal.

2 February, 2019 by

If you were unable to attend CALA Home’s consultation then the posters  they displayed can be seen by downloading this link (a PDF document held on Google Drive) and emailing your comments to calathames@whistlepr.co.uk

The comments made by many people include that the proposals are for more houses than had been proposed in the previous, abandoned, applications; that the presumption is that all traffic will flow both ways along Chapel Lane posing a safety risk to pedestrians; and that the on-site and on-street parking is inadequate to meet the realistic needs of the development.

The extra police consultaion is now over.

26 January, 2019 by

UPDATE

Surrey carried out a consultation on whether you would be prepared to pay an extra £2 a month in council tax for an additional 100 police officers in the county.
The survey closed at midnight on Monday 28 January 2019.

The Police and Crime Commissioner David Munro is asking the county’s residents to fill in a brief online survey on whether or not they would support a proposed £24 increase for the next financial year based on a Band D property.
The proposed rise would mean doubling the number of officers in our dedicated neighbourhood teams which support area policing teams across the county. It would also help Surrey Police invest in specialist officers to tackle serious organised crime gangs and drug dealers in our communities.

PCC David Munro said:

“I believe my proposal provides a real opportunity to help put more officers back into our communities which is what I believe the public of Surrey want to see.

“But I want as many residents as possible to let me know what they think before the survey closes on Monday night.

“We have had a fantastic response already and I want to thank all those who have taken part so far. If you haven’t had time to complete it yet – it only takes a couple of minutes to fill it in and will really help me make my decision on this year’s precept.”

One of the PCC’s key responsibilities is to set the overall budget for Surrey Police including determining the level of council tax raised for policing in the county known as the precept.

In December, the Home Office gave PCCs across the country the flexibility to increase the policing element of a Band D Council Tax bill by up to £2 a month – the equivalent of around 10% across all bands. In Surrey, every 1% rise in the police precept equates to around £1m in additional income.

Andrew has helped many people reduce anxiety, lift their mood, improve sleep, overcome fears, find motivation for weight management, gain confidence and much more.

Andrew practices Solution Focused Hypnotherapy which is a modern and effective technique, based on the latest research from neuroscience.

Update: Ask your Councillors your questions.

21 January, 2019 by

UPDATE

The Bagshot Society would like to thank everyone who attended the Meet the Councillors event organised by the Society on 23 January. The event was well attended and many questions were asked by residents who are passionate about issues concerning our village. Questions were raised about suitability of proposed developments, including Woodside Cottage in Chapel Lane , the retirement ‘village’ on the site of Jack’s fish and chip restaurant, air pollution from traffic and the possible closures of our Sure Start Centre and community recycling centre.

Thanks go to councellors Mike Goodman, Valerie White, Katia Malcus Cooper, Ruth Hutchinson, Colin Manley and Ursula Trentham for attending and answering questions. We appreciate that the councillors are busy and are grateful to them for giving up an evening to be prepared to face potentially difficult questions. Without their support this event would not be possible.

==============================================

Bagshot Society’s annual “Meet the Councillors” is your opportunity to ask the questions you want answers to.  Wednesday 23 January in St Anne’s Church Centre, 45 Church Road, Bagshot GU19 5EQ (the Centre is behind and to the left of the church).

Q&A starts at 7.30 pm. Refreshments available from 7.

To ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to have their question put to the councillors, questions should be tabled in writing at the start of, or during, the meeting. The chair will then ensure that nobody gets to ‘hog’ the meeting with their pet topic.

All are welcome. Bagshot Society members free, non-members £2.
We look forward to seeing you.

Update: Community Forum: Bagshot Traffic Congestion, Chapel Lane Development Proposal

11 January, 2019 by

UPDATE

The Community Forum on the 15t January was well attended, filling the Three Mariners’ function room.

Concerns were raised on many issues including (in no particular order)

  • Traffic congestion tailing back from the “Waitrose” traffic lights along the A30 and through the High Street
  • Through traffic using Bagshot as a short-cut
  • High levels of air pollution due to traffic
  • Excessive speeds on Whitmore Road, Guildford Road and the High Street (when not congested).
  • The prospect of a further planning application to build a large number of houses off the narrow Chapel Lane and the effect this would have would have on
    • traffic,
    • the environment and amenity,
    • the safety of children at the near-by Infants School,
    • surface water including run-off attributed to the Waterers Way estate.
  • High density housing and rest-home developments with inadequate parking
  • The erosion of available on-street parking

It was suggested that residents should keep their concerns in the forefront of the attention of the relevant council officials and elected representatives by email to their “official” email accounts, as well as submitting formal responses to planning applications.
For maximum effect this should be both individually and through the Bagshot Society.

Attendees were invited to give their email addresses to the Bagshot Society in order that they can be kept abreast of emerging issues and the relevant officials to whom concerns should be expressed.

If you wish to be added to this list of people please email bagshotsociety@bagshotvillage.com to say so. Your details will not be used for any other purpose.

 

 

Bagshot Society invites residents interested in coming along to the Function Room (Back bar) of The Mariners’ Tuesday 15th January 2019 7pm for 7.30 pm to discuss ideas of improving through traffic, helping to deal with congestion and address concerns of pollution levels in the centre of our village.

Also inviting residents concerned about proposed development off Chapel Lane of 44 houses by CALA homes.

What can we as villagers do together about these issues ? Come to our community forum and help to come to some conclusions on these pressing issues.

Carols in the Chapel Friday 21st December 6.30pm

11 December, 2018 by

chapel night 2

We are pleased to announce that Bagshot Chapel will be opened for Carols and Readings on  Friday 21st December at 6.30pm. Rev Andreas Sistig has once again kindly agreed to coordinate the service with Valerie, Tina and John. The Chapel is very small and not so warm, so get well wrapped up and come early if you need a seat. We do have a gazebo outside for the overspill!  There will be mulled wine (or juice) and mince pies at the end and maybe the odd the chocolate! Everyone is welcome! Bagshot Chapel is located in the cemetery, which can be accessed by Bagshot Infant School in School Lane.
