The Frimley Green Carnival Committee organises 4 events in the Frimley Green Area.


Any proceeds from the three events are distributed to local charities.

For information or questions like having a stall at the Carnival, email:

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:

MFG&D Society 14/11/2025 - Mytchett, Frimley Green & Deepcut Society's Half-Yearly Meeting

MFG&D Society Half_Yearly Meeting 2025 Dr Al Pinkerton 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.
MFG&D Society Half_Yearly Meeting 2025 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.

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:

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.
