Many people in Wonersh, Blackheath and Shamley Green
get involved in local events, clubs, societies and community
projects. It is a great way to help improve life in
our villages, meet new people and get the satisfaction
of making a difference. It’s easy not to get involved,
but it is more fun and rewarding if you do. There are
a number of projects in our villages that are currently
looking for volunteers, go on…
Wonersh Traffic Group
Feedback from our recent Parish Survey highlighted
speeding traffic in the village as the highest priority
concern for residents. We are currently setting up a
traffic group to work with the police and local councils
to investigate ways to reduce speeds and peoples concerns.
Projects that are under consideration are setting up
a Speedwatch scheme on Wonersh Common
Road (this has already been very effective in Shamley
Green), introducing a 20mph speed limit in the Street
and looking as ways of reducing speed and accidents
around the bends in the centre of the village. If you
would like to get involved please telephone David Beevers
on 892271 or e-mail him at david.beevers@zen.co.uk.
Speedwatch
Playground Committee
We have excellent playground facilities on the Common
in Wonersh and at Lords Hill in Shamley Green. Most
of the equipment on these playgrounds has been purchased
as the result of fund raising activities in the 2 villages.
The children of many of the playground committee members
are now too old to use the equipment. We are looking
for new committee members, especially parents of children
who regularly use the playgrounds.
If you would like to get involved please telephone Louise
Healy on 898539 or e-mail her at thehealys@supanet.com.
Wonersh Village Society
In Shamley Green we have a very active and successful
Village Society and residents association. The organisations
fight for local causes, monitor the effects of planning
proposals and undertake campaigns to improve the village
surroundings and amenities. At the recent Annual Assembly
of the Parish Council, many people expressed an interest
in setting up a Village Society in Wonersh. If you would
like to get involved please telephone John Williams
on 898234 or e-mail him on katejohn.williams@btinternet.com.
