Approx 300 people came to the exhibition at the Village Day in May 2008. Here are the ideas and issues that were raised with respect to youth (11-18) and children (0-11)

Summary

Here are the key themes that emerged:

• Play areas for all young children to teenagers
  • School Road park
  • Other areas
• Places for young people to hang-out
• Evening activites for young people
• Better information about what’s available
  • UPDATE: WVYP has published a guide to the Windle Valley for young people www.wvyp.org.uk/clubs.html.
• When is the Children’s Centre opening?
  • UPDATE: This opened in 2008 and useage is growing quickly www.bagshotchildrenscentre.co.uk.

Input (as written)

• More playing field/equipment for children (similar to Berkshire)
• Space next to Bagshot Infants to have a lot more play equipment. The one at Sunningdale is perfect
  • Second this comment – Bagshot play facilities totally inadequate for young children.
• More and better play facilities for young children
• Affordable housing for fathers looking after young children after separation
• Need more for children to do. Play equipment for older children. Places for children to go/hang out.
• Cinema
• Theme park
• Need more evening activities for 13yrs and older.
• Better play facilities with more available for young children and teenagers
• Children’s play area more central in village.
• Manage the play areas – a climbing frame (School field) that cannot be used for 6 months of the year because of the water-logged base is a joke.
• All age Village Activities
• Need easily available information on community activities and societies
• Make playing equipment better in park by Bagshot School
• We are 3^rd class citizens in Surrey Heath as regards decent play areas.
• “Finishing” School Road play area and fencing off area for children
  • Plus better playground
• Playground equipment in “open spaces” eg. Yaverland Drive
• Decent playground equipment like Sunningdale (x4)
• Keep more green areas for playgrounds forkids with stuff for older kids as well.
• Could we have a village hall for use by all sections of the community with good access and parking and open space outside.
• Children’s Centre – when?
