Consultation on Replacing Frimley Park Hospital
The current site needs to be replaced because it was built using Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), which makes up around 65 per cent of the hospital. Because of the RAAC planks
and amongst other things the current site being congested, they are looking at potential new sites and are asking for help on assessing sites for the new hospital.
You can read all about it on the Frimley Park Hospital website.
There is an online questionnaire which is available until Sunday, 7th January 2024.
Frimley Green Library Refurbishment
Due to essential building works Frimley Green Library will be operating a click and collect service from Monday 20th November until further notice.

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).
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.

10/11/2023 - Society's Half-Yearly Public Meeting
The Half-Yearly Public Meeting was held on Friday, 10th November at St. Andrews Church Hall. This years meeting had as its main speaker our MP, the Rt. Hon. Michael Gove – Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
The talk was on "Standing up for Surrey Heath", which as Michael Gove explained involved the mantra ABC which stood for advocate, bridge building and communitiy. He went
through each giving examples as he went along.
As Michael Gove only had 30 minutes in his busy schedule, there was meant to be a 20 minute talk followed by 10 minutes of questions. In the end he very generously
stayed for 45 minutes, answering questions for 30 minutes.
There was the usual lively Q&A session with the local Councillors Morgan Rise, David Whitcroft and Jackie Davies from Surrey Heath Neigbourhood Watch. Unfortunately the
local Police Borough Commander Gemma Taylor could not make it but did send a short presentation which you can view
here(MP4).
Before the meeting closed there was the usual raffle.

on our website.
