  • WBC Play Area Strategy – Recommendations
    Recommendations The play area strategy recommendations are set out below, organised into geographical areas, giving an opportunity to see provision for communities as a whole. Where the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA1) has highlighted potential development sites, these are identified in purple in the appropriate sections, as presenting an opportunity for improved play infrastructure in that area. These sites are not confirmed development sites. They have been added in order to show areas where there may be development and therefore where there may be opportunities for play provision may arise. Principles for setting priorities for refurbishment and investment 1. Consider communities not only wards. Prioritise investments with reference to the all the opportunities for play in a community or area, aiming to achieve suitable play provision for all children and young people and meet the standard of 0.8ha of equipped or informal play provision per 1000 people. Wards are essentially administrative units that enable political accountability and in relation to which data can be organised. Residents regularly cross ward boundaries to access play and other facilities. 2. Look at accessibility – build accessibility into schemes for refurbishing play areas. Where playgrounds can be made more accessible with the addition of short pathways, passing places and pathways within play areas, tactile play opportunities, suitably wide gates that are self-closing and equipment such as swings and rockers with support, this should be done. In general, access to and within all sites will be improved as areas are refurbished or updated, to reflect local requirements. It is recommended that inclusive play is prioritised for at least one play space in each community, where there are (or is the potential for) appropriate ancilliary facilities.

LockdownNew guest alesTake every-Aways month.available A touch of Irish charm at the heart of the village. 2 Rowledge Review From the Vicarage This year, our community’s act of remembrance will, by necessity, look somewhat different (see elsewhere in this issue for more details). But it is important that we do not confuse the process by which we remember, with the actual act of remembrance itself. Too often in life, it seems that if we are not very careful, we can get too focused on ‘process’ and end up overlooking the very meaning of what we set out to do. So this year, whilst we will not be able to hold our traditional Service of Remembrance in the Church (social distancing rules have sadly limited us to only 18 available seats), we will not walk solemnly behind the cross to the War Memorial and we will not be able to gather for the traditional two-minute silence, we can still stop at 11am wherever we are, to remember the sacrifice of so many in the cause of freedom. Jesus of Nazareth spoke of the importance of remembering, but he was more interested in the need to remember, rather than the method used. In fact, he kept it very simple. This is how Luke’s gospel records Jesus’ last meal with his friends: “He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it.

    ATHERTON HILL FARNHAM CALA HO ME S Local area photography ATHERTON HILL THE HEIGHT OF COUNTRY-LOVING CONTEMPORARY LIVING Rural bliss is within easy reach of the city and the coast at Atherton Hill. Situated between the picturesque village of Frensham and thriving market town of Farnham, it features a beautiful selection of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom semi-detached and detached homes from CALA’s exclusive Light and Space range. Centred around an attractive green, these high specification homes also enjoy mature trees on all sides and scenic views to the south. Together with Farnham’s plentiful amenities about 2.5 miles away, an excellent choice of local schools and convenient commuter links, Atherton Hill is set to become a sought-after family community. Local area photography Photography of previous development Local area photography FARNHAM AWAY FROM IT ALL, AT THE HEART OF IT ALL Nestled within Surrey’s desirable green belt, the small village of Wrecclesham is full of characterful buildings and sporting history. As well as one of the best preserved examples of a working Victorian country pottery, the grade II listed Farnham Pottery is also a popular local café. Jonny Wilkinson and Graham Thorpe both started their illustrious careers at Wrecclesham recreation ground, which is home to a variety of sports, while nearby Holt Pound recreation ground has long been a famous venue for Surrey cricketers. Atherton Hill is just a short drive from Farnham town centre, where a wealth of Georgian houses and historic buildings are joined alongside the River Wey by high street shops, major supermarkets, fashionable bistros and public parks.

    90p April 2021 Produced for the community by Rowledge • Boundstone Holt Pound • Bucks Horn Oak April 2021 Fresh home-cooked food and a friendly welcome. LockdownNew guest alesTake every-Aways month.available A touch of Irish charm at the heart of the village. 2 Rowledge Review From the Vicarage Each month I am faced with a blank page to fill and wonder what to write! Some of you might wish I’d leave it blank, but some of you are kind enough to say that, just occasionally my ramblings are useful. Although we didn’t then know it, when I wrote for the Review this time last year, we were just about to enter the first national lockdown. Most of us were very uncertain as to what lay ahead, although the experts were extremely concerned, and rightly so. Here we are, 12 months later with 4.22 million cases of the virus in the UK alone and tragically, 125,000 deaths attributed to COVID 19. However, in the face of such suffering, we have seen immense acts of sacrificial courage and service from so many in our remarkable NHS, schools, colleges and universities and in the voluntary sector. It seems to me that the Easter themes of darkness and light are especially poignant this year. On Good Friday, Christians reflect on the death of Jesus of Nazareth on a cross outside Jerusalem. The gospel writer Luke records that, at the moment of Jesus death, even though it was about midday, “darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun’s light failed…” (Luke 23: 44).
