Bagshot Village Plan

The Bagshot Village Plan is all about the people of Bagshot and our hopes and concerns for our community. If you’ve got a burning vision for Bagshot or something that you’d really like to fix, why not get in contact with the Steering Group. You might find that it’s something other people also feel passionate about and together we can build the community we want for the future.

2010 Playground Spring Clean Success

Thursday, 22 April 2010 08:50

Photo of some of the Friday work teamTwo days of fun, laughter and hard work by teams from our village have given the Whitmoor Road playground (next to Lilliput/Curly Park Rangers) a makeover. Running over 16th and 17th April, the Big Spring Clean was masterminded by Sandra Polhill who is leading a team aiming to improve our playgrounds in Bagshot. The work was done in partnership with Park Ranger Steve Harris from Surrey Heath Borough Council who own the playground. (Some of Friday's team are in the photo)

The teams cleaned, swept, scraped, cut and painted to give the playground its new look and the effort was a real community one with help from individual and local businesses including AJH Painters & Decorators, Bagshot Post Office, Bagshot Sure Start Centre, Burley Landscapes, Co-operative Store, Creative Presentations, Curley Park Rangers FC, JC Fabrications, Nigel Jefferies Landscapes, Lilliput Children's Centre, Shelly Lindsell (Pampered Chef), Surrey Heath Borough Council, The Village Cafe, Tulip Publications, Windlesham Parish Council.

A huge well done and thank you to everyone involved.

The Bagshot Village Plan questionnaire has been printed and is being distributed this week. This is an important document for the future of Bagshot because it gives all of us who live or work in Bagshot a opportunity to share our views and ideas about Bagshot. By the end of the week, every household in Bagshot should have received a copy of the questionnaire through the letterbox.

Completed questionnaires are being collected at the Post Office, library, churches, Connaught and Bagshot schools, Park House Surgery and the Village Cafe. You can also download and print extra copies of the questionnaire here (download questionnaire).

The questionnaire is due back by Mon 7th December.

 

Bagshot village plan meeting

Wednesday, 21 October 2009 00:00

Well the launch meeting of the Bagshot Village Plan was a huge success with more than 140 people attending. Geoff Marston, chair of the village plan steering group, started the 3 short speeches by laying out the background and process of the plan. Glyn Carpenter shared her passion for the village and her excitement about the future. Finally Gershon Berkowitz of Surrey Community Action told us how impressed he has been with the progress already made and the buzz that exists in Bagshot. Gershon works with towns and villages across Surrey helping them to build community and he told us all that he sensed something special in Bagshot.

Gershon's was a theme echoed by some of those attending in an open question time when people told of how friendly they've found the village.

Following the questions, there was a time for people to discuss what they'd heard and to contribute their thoughts and aspirations for Bagshot in a number of areas such as the environment, business, youth and children.

Members of Hotspot, the Wednesday night youth cafe in Bagshot, came to the event and interviewed attendees for their new podcast. Hotspot is one of the success stories that came out of the TUNE-IN community consultations a couple of years ago.
