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

14/11/2025 - Mytchett, Frimley Green & Deepcut Society's Half-Yearly Meeting
The Half_Yearly Meeting was held on the Friday 14th November at St. Andrews Church Hall. This years meeting was attended by around 30 people.
Our local MP for Surrey Heath, Dr Al Pinkerton gave a fascinating talk on his "First Year in Parliament". He covered a number of topics, his first days of
being seated in Parliament and how he had to give the seat up to Nigel Farage, his work on the Northern Ireland committee, his new assigment as the
Liberal Democrat spokesman on Europe.
He covered the debate on immigration, Russian hacking and misinformation on the internet, on the army unit trying to combat the hacking and misinformation.
He also covered a number of other topics such as the re-organisation of Surrey into two unitary councils, West and East Surrey and how West Surrey will inherit
the lion's share of the historical debt due to a number of the borough and district councils in West Surrey being heavily in debt. The councils comprising Easr
Surrey do not appear to have the same level of indebtedness.
The talk along with the lengthy question and answer session following lasted almost an hour.
Following the talk, the tea break was taken.
After this there was the usual lively Q&A session with our chair Clare Kennedy moderating. From left to right, Clare Kennedy, Councillors Jacques Olmo, Cliff Betton, Morgan Rise,
Surrey Heath MP Dr Al Pinkerton, Councillor David Whitcroft, Police Constable Will Moss and PCSO Molly Rhodes.
Before the meeting closed there was the usual raffle.

Local Junction Improvement Works
As part of the development, a series of essential infrastructure upgrades are being deliverd to improve traffic flow, safety, and accessibility across four key junctions in the local area.
You can see the detailed plans of the improvements and the latest updates on the work being carried out at:
mindenhurst.co.uk/updates/junction_works
Below you can also see the letter sent out by Skanska:
Dear Resident
I’m writing to share further details about the upcoming works in your area, which form part of our ongoing efforts to improve local infrastructure and support the needs of our growing community. These improvements are part of a
wider programme of upgrades being delivered under the Section 106 agreement for the Mindenhurst development. They are being undertaken in accordance with the hybrid planning permission granted in 2014 by Surrey Heath Borough Council.
We know how important safe, efficient, and accessible transport routes are to everyone’s daily life. That’s why we’re investing in upgrades to four key junctions: Gole Road / Dawney Hill, M3 Junction 3, Gordon’s Roundabout, and Frimley Green.
These improvements are designed to ease congestion, improve traffic flow, and enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Each of these junctions has long been recognised as a pinch point, and this work will help future proof the area’s infrastructure.
The first phase of works will begin on Monday 13 October 2025, focusing on the following two areas: Gole Road / Dawney Hill and M3 Junction 3. These works are expected to be completed by
early March 2026, after which the next two phases will focus on Gordon’s Roundabout and Frimley Green, completing by December 2026.
