Allotments in Deepcut

Surrey Heath Borough Council has now opened a waiting list for those residents who would be interested in securing a plot in the new Mindenhurst Allotments.

There is an occupation restriction on the allotments to ensure that they are for the benefit of the residents of the Deepcut area. This is defined as being within a one mile radius of Deepcut, see the Poster for more details.

If you meet this criterion and are interested in being added to the waiting list, please email:

FGCarnivalCommittee@mfgdsociety.org.uk


Deepcut Neighbourhood Forum

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

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.


Society News

MFG&D Society 20/04/2025 - Society's AGM - Presentation on the Reshaping of Local Government

On Friday, 16th May 2025 at the Society's AGM, there will be a talk on the reorganisation of local government from a County and District/Borough Councils model to a Unitary Council Model. In the Unitary Council Model, all local services are provided by the Unitary Council and not spilt between the County and District/Borough Councils. This change is required by the Central Government and the Surrey Councils have been asked to submit proposals to effect this change, all this is explained on the the Shaping Surrey's Future page on the Surrey County Council website.

At the mmoment there are two competing proposals, one from the County Council who want two Unitary Councils to replace the County Councils and the 11 District and Borough Councils, see their proposal here (pptx).

The other proposal from the 11 District/Borough Councils is for three Unitary Councils, see their version here (pdf).

These changes could affect local services for all Surrey residents on such things as taxes, adult social care, planning, rubbish/recycling pickup and much more.
