Consultations, Petitions, Surveys etc
Surrey Heath Borough Council has now opened a waiting list for those residents who would be interested in securing a plot in the new Mindenhurst Allotments.
There is an occupation restriction on the allotments to ensure that they are for the benefit of the residents of the Deepcut area. This is defined as
being within a one mile radius of Deepcut, see the Poster for more details.
If you meet this criterion and are interested in being added to the waiting list, please email:
leisure.services@surreyheath.gov.uk

Under the Localism Act neighbourhood forums are community groups that are designated to take forward neighbourhood planning in areas without parish councils.
The DNF has been recognised by SHBC as the forum for the Deepcut Area, this is especially important on account of the PRB (Mindenhurst) development, see the
Mindenhurst Development( above).
Basingstoke Canal Updates
The Society will be keeping abreast on what is happening with the Basingstoke Canal.
For information on the maintenance and update work being done on the canal, see the Bulletins
and News from the Basingstoke Canal Society.
In 2011 we supported a petition to Surrey Heath Borough Council to increase their funding to the Basingstoke Canal inline with the other riparian councils, you can read about it in the article
on our website.
Farnborough Airport Concerns
If you have any complaints or concerns about aircraft noise, the frequency and timing of flights, please contact
the Society as we have a representative on the Farnborough Airport Consultative Committee (FACC)
and on the Quiet Flying Programme working group of FACC. We are in a position to be able to make representations on your behalf and as a Society we carry more weight than an individual does.
To contact us email:

16/05/2025 - Mytchett, Frimley Green & Deepcut Society's AGM
The Society's AGM was held on Friday 16th May at St. Andrews Church Hall. There were only about 30 people attending which as the talk was on such
an important topic was disappointing.
This year's talk was on the reorganisation of local government from a County and District/Borough Councils model to a Unitary Council Model. The talk was mostly given
by Councillors David Whitcroft and Morgan Rise. They went through the various options which included one, two or three Unitary Councils in Surrey.
A lot of questions are still unanswerable as they come under UK's central government purview, for instance what will be done about the debts of the various current councils?
Having said that the two councillors did an excellent job with the limited informations that they had.
Following the talk, the tea break was taken.
After tea break the Chair Clare Kennedy did a quick rundown on what the Society had done over the past year, the treasurer's report and election
of the committee. Clare asked the audience if anyone would like to join the committee, unfortunately there were no volunteers.
After this there was the usual lively Q&A session with left to right, Local Councillors, Cliff Betton, Jacques Olmo, David Whitcroft, Morgan Rise,
Police Constable Rob Hudson and Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator Jacquie Davies.
Before the meeting closed there was the usual raffle.
