Community Hub Consultation Report

Published: 12 November 2020

Background

Windlesham Parish Council is now progressing plans to construct a community hub in Lightwater to service the whole parish. This has been one of the Council's approved projects since 2013 and circumstances are now favourable for taking this forward.

The proposed location for this hub is on the Lightwater recreation ground behind All Saints Church and the initial proposals are to replace the old pavilion and storage buildings which are now derelict and require demolition, refurbish the children's play area, and to enhance the security to prevent vandalism and unauthorised access to the recreation field.

Before proceeding WPC canvassed the views of residents from all three villages within the Parish to ensure that any future design will meet the needs of the community they serve.

The Consultation Process

The consultation was open to the public for 6 weeks and was promoted through various mediums including social media, QR codes, the Council website, local magazines, telephone and face to face consultation. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic conducting public consultation using pen and paper was not possible. However, some Councillors conducted socially distanced face to face consultation whereby residents gave verbal responses that were then recorded on their behalf.

Results
