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.

23/10/2026 - In Memory of Christina Main
Christina Main passed away on Tuesday 22nd September from valvular heart disease at the age of 83. Her funeral took place on Thurday 22nd October
in front of family and friends.
Christina was a valued Society committee member, she supported us tirelessly at events, public meetings until she was unable to do so. She
had lived in the area for a very long time, so we will miss her advice, knowledge of local history and events, may she rest in peace.

12/07/2026 - Frimley Green Carnival 2026
Held on the 12th July, the 2026 Frimley Green Carnival was a great success. It was a warm and sunny day, with a slight breeze which made it almost perfect weather for the Carnival.
There was a large and enthusiastic crowd, a tremendous Carnival Procession which this year was mostly walking groups.
The procession was headed up by two people carrying the Frimley Green Carnival Banner, followed by a blue MG carrying the Mayor of Surrey Heath, Councillor Cliff Betton. This was followed by a number by schools,
dancing and gymnastic groups, charitable organizations, decorated scooters amongst others.
There were events in the central arena throughout the day with many stalls on the Green including the Society's stall.
For a more detailed account along with photos of the Carnival, see the Frimley Green Carnival 2026.

— Rest of Society News —
New Frimley Park Hospital Site Selection Report
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust have recently set out why they propose to build on part of the land owned by Frimley Fuel Allotments in more detail.
Their new site selection report, published on our website, includes the criteria used to assess every site, the reasoning behind each decision, and the scores given.
The Trust carried out a thorough site selection process with rigorous local and national governance.
Eighteen potential sites were assessed against a consistent set of criteria.
The Trust’s assessment has been tested and re-tested: by an independent peer review in 2024, by a joint reappraisal with the national programme in 2025 that deliberately reintroduced previously excluded sites, and by a further independent review. Each process reached the same conclusion.
This level of detail we have published reflects the significance of the choices ahead, and we believe it’s important to build confidence in the process and not just the outcome.
Latest Update
The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is holding a number of public events, you can read all about it in their September Update (pdf).
Local Junction Improvement Works
As part of the development, a series of essential infrastructure upgrades are being delivered 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
For the letter sent out by Skanska see Junction Improvement Works (pdf)
Farnborough Airport Concerns
Farnborough Airport Ltd (FAL) are lodging an appeal in respect of their November 2025 Planning Application (see below) to the Government's Planning Inspectorate on the grounds of non-determination.
This is so they can speed up their application, see the Press Release for the full explanation.
Farnborough Airport have released a letter from their CEO Simon Geere describing their latest planning application which you can see
here (pdf).
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.
To contact us, email:
FACCRep@mfgdsociety.org.uk.
