Welcome to our end of year newsletter.
Winter is well underway and our ditch clearance, hedge cut back and final mowing is mostly complete. Our Volunteer Groups continue to be fantastic with loads of work completed in Wonersh and Shamley Green, and the chainsaw team thinning and coppicing in Healy’s Wood, in accordance with the Woodland Management Plan agreed with the Forestry Commission. The donated trees also look great in Barnett Fields along with newly donated benches with memorial plaques. The Arbuthnot Hall redevelopment has applied to the Waverley CIL fund to cover their remaining funding gap, so will hopefully get the go-ahead next year. There are updates below on the creation of the new Unitary Council to cover West Surrey along with the demise of Waverley Borough Council; the latest on the St John’s Church walls; the possible introduction of sheep for a few weeks each year in Barnett Fields; the long-awaited possibility that Wonersh Village will get a 20mph zone, and news of the St John’s Seminary development.
Seasonal Greetings to you all.
Anthony Shutes, Chair
