Righting the Wrongs of a Divided Village
In 2017 the Boundaries Commission took steps to review the Borough Ward of Windlesham. Consequently Windlesham was divided. Part of the Village was added to Bagshot and the remaining part was added to a distant Chobham Ward.
Windlesham was the only Village in Surrey Heath to be split which has removed not only our sense of place and wellbeing but has removed our already frail democratic standing.
This has had serious consequences for our Village and could have been avoided if "We" had been properly consulted.
Cllr Richard Wilson is taking steps to right this wrong and needs the support of the entire community to restore our proper place and standing in the Borough.
Following a unanimous decision by Borough Councillors at Surrey Heath the Boundaries Commission were asked to review the position but they have rejected the request.
There is an online petition which needs the support of everyone who would like to see our Village restored to its former status.
You can sign the petition HERE
You can read the full letter by following this LINK
There are also two Murphy's Blogs previously published here on windlesham.life giving a very detailed insight into what went on.en

A FORMAL PLANNING APPLICATION IS EXPECTED IN APRIL - MAY 2024
Approved applications with issues for our village
Heathpark Wood
From Windlesham.life
We will all by now probably be aware of the appeal decision at Heathpark Wood in Woodlands Lane Windlesham and the subsequent full planning application substantially approved by Surrey Heath Borough Council (SHBC). The result of the appeal was conditional upon the developer meeting 32 conditions set down and agreed between the parties to the appeal in order to achieve the appeal decision in the developer's favour..........
So what's going wrong ?
That Care Home
From Windlesham.life
This development has now been completed so now we will see the consequences !
And don't forget those consultations
The current set of consultations ranging from a Windlesham Neighbourhood Plan review, through traffic and infrastructure and the major threat to our village green belt secreted into the new Draft Local Plan consultation are serious planning matters for our community and our village.
Everyone needs to be involved in making these decisions.
