disproving of the move The public consultation was open between 16 September and 11 October and received 1,079 responses two separate petitions urging the council to keep the site open received 2,000 signatures ahead of the vote The council said that the site is being closed as it is “hard to get to too small to be upgraded and has been attracting anti-social behaviour” fly tipping and unlawful entry at the site The council told the BBC that staff had also been threatened by some users who tried to bring unacceptable materials to the site Residents have been redirected to alternative recycling sites Camberley 76% of people who responded said they would use the alternative sites The Bagshot centre currently receives approximately 920 visits a week The council said that residents

cream tones and she once shared a glimpse of it Duchess Sophie’s Bagshot Park kitchen has soothing sage green walls and cream cabinets that make it such a beautiful space to cook This was in support of Girl Guiding and Children in Need and although we last saw the Duchess of Edinburgh’s sage green painted kitchen over four years ago pistachio and avocado are huge for spring 2025 and John Lewis have even named pistachio as their Colour of the Season A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) They described it as a "shortcut to instant spring renewal" and we think the same is true of Duchess Sophie’s green kitchen walls In the video you can see that the room is painted in this soothing tone and it provides a lovely amount of contrast against the cabinetry at Bagshot Park Whether or not you’re ever swayed by interior paint colour trends sage green is worth considering bringing into your kitchen in some way It brings a freshness to a space but isn’t overwhelmingly vibrant and can easily be balanced out by neutral tones like Duchess Sophie did in her home Even if you’re not sure about re-painting your kitchen adding small pops of sage green with appliances and ornaments is a lovely alternative The royals love bringing the outdoors inside their homes as much as possible and whilst we’ve seen the likes of the Prince and Princess of Wales do this with plants and flowers simply adding something green is an easy way to start This sage green tea canister is a simple and affordable way to add some of this colour into your own kitchen It has a bamboo lid and Dunelm also

They're made from silicone and have a non-slip grip and a handy hanging loop Pop these on and you'll feel so chic whenever you take something out of the oven The Duchess of Edinburgh went for creamy white cabinets in her kitchen which complemented the walls and brightened up the space even more This effect was emphasised by the spotlights fitted beneath the cabinets The blend of these

and got to see the counters in more detail There were grey veins running through the stone and this mirrored the shiny chrome kitchen sink tap and the muted brass handles on the cabinets which was in-keeping with the understated aesthetic of the rest of the kitchen Although Bagshot Park is a historic royal residence and is rumoured to have 120 rooms in total We've not seen it since this video in 2020 and so it's possible Duchess Sophie has switched things up slightly we can't help hoping that the beautiful sage green and cream colour scheme remains the same as it was Emma ShacklockEmma is

recycling centre would be a “bitter blow” that would lead to an increase fly-tipping and traffic as people are forced to drive longer distances to dispose of their waste, opponents have said. Surrey County Council (SCC) is recommending the closure of the Community Recycling Centre claiming it is difficult to access, unmodernised and too small to be upgraded – so it cannot be made fit for the future. The site accounts for about two per cent of the county’s recycling centre production and has suffered from repeated incidences of antisocial behaviour. The closure has not yet been formally confirmed and a four-week consultation has been launched. Residents are being asked about the impact of the closure and what alternative arrangements they would like to see – such as longer opening hours at the four nearest recycling centres. Opponents, including ward councillor Richard Wilson and the leader of Surrey Heath Borough Council, have called on Surrey not to go ahead with the plans saying it would be catastrophic for the area. Cllr Richard Wilson, (Liberal Democrats: Bagshot) said: “The plan to close the Swift Lane Recycling Centre will come as a bitter blow to residents in Windlesham, Bagshot and beyond. “The county council is suggesting people will drive to the other side of Camberley to dispose of waste. The roads here are already congested and there are already queues at the Camberley Recycling Centre. “Tradespeople working in our area will have to spend much more time in their working day to take rubbish over to Camberley. “It won’t come up in the council’s survey but this closure will inevitably lead to an increase in fly-tipping in the countryside nearby.” The matter was also raised during leader’s question time at the September 18, full meeting of Surrey Heath Borough Council. Cllr Macdonald said: “We are all aware that the Bagshot site is not optimal but the removal of it will cause substantially longer journeys and extra emissions in that process. “We are working strongly to have this decision reversed, because I genuinely think it’s already a decision that’s already been made, they will just tinker around the edges.” Natalie Bramhall, SCC’s cabinet member for property, waste and infrastructure urged people to take part in the consultation to ensure we can capture their feedback. She said: “We have a comprehensive network of Community Recycling Centres across the county and there are four alternatives…within 10 miles of Bagshot, with the closest being Camberley, approximately six miles away. “These sites are modern, safe and all on one level, with no need to climb steps to tip waste. These sites allow access to vans and trailers, and accept more types of waste. “Some sites offer additional services such as a paint reuse shop at Guildford CRC and a reuse shop at Woking CRC. I encourage the local community to share their views which will help inform the cabinet decision later in 2024.” The consultation runs to Friday, October 11.

As per Hello! it was previously reported by The Telegraph that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh extended the lease by another 150 years so it looks like they have no intention of leaving their Bagshot Park home This lease extension allegedly cost around £5 million Unlike some royal homes like Buckingham Palace we don’t know exactly how many bedrooms are inside Bagshot Park’s main house it’s rumoured to have around 120 rooms in total so it likely has a fair few bedrooms as part of this Over the years we’ve only ever been given a few glimpses at the Bagshot Park interiors but Surrey Heath Borough Council references a room that was panelled throughout and carved by hand at the Mayo School of Art in Lahore It was reportedly a wedding gift from Princes in India to the Duke and Duchess of Connaught the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh gave a rare joint interview to The Telegraph at Bagshot Park in which they reflected upon the late Prince Philip’s legacy Alongside the article they appeared in beautiful pictures which revealed that Bagshot Park’s main house has a gorgeous conservatory that looks out onto immaculate lawns and hedges is a deep purple tone and the walls are panelled with dark wood that they’ve matched with their furniture choices A squashy armchair upholstered in a champagne spot-patterned fabric sits beside the large windows in this room It also seems like Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie don’t have any qualms about their beloved family dogs jumping up on the furniture as their black Labrador Teal was pictured standing on the armchair whilst the cabinets are a creamy white with brass handles A shiny chrome tap can just be seen above the sink behind her and Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward’s kitchen generally has a very cosy Another glimpse at the inside of Bagshot Park came in February 2021 when the Duchess virtually presented Priya Ahluwalia with The Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) Duchess Sophie appeared in a room filled with family photos on display The wallpaper features a beige-gold and white pattern with a white dado rail running around the room that instantly draws the eye Although Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie lease their Bagshot Park home from The Crown Estate it remains their own private home and isn’t open to the public This isn’t the case for all royal residences owned by The Crown Estate Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace are all open to the public at different times throughout the year Credit: SWRA tortoise brought a South Western Railway services to a halt after it was spotted on the tracks at a station in Surrey The adventurous tortoise was seen on the railway between Ascot and Bagshot by a train driver who radioed his base to report the reptile on Friday evening A spokesperson for the rail company said that four trains were delayed while arrangements for a staff member to rescue the wandering tortoise were made South Western Railway (SWR) said: "He has been retrieved and is now back at home "Network Rail and SWR staff moved the tortoise to a position of safety on the platform including a short ride on the train itself "Its owner collected it from the station later that evening The post on X by the railway company garnered attention with one person writing: "Please can you clarify if the tortoise is travelling with a valid ticket has a fixed penalty been issued for fare evasion?" he did have a valid ticket and became a bit of a shell-ebrity."

Join us this Sunday for a unique event in offroad history Plan of the rejected proposal for a housing development at Grove End, Bagshot. Image SHBC A contentious plan to build dozens of affordable homes in Surrey was rejected by councillors, who prioritised protecting green belt land over addressing the area’s housing shortage. Developers had wanted to build up to 135 homes, of which at least half would have been sold at rates defined as “affordable”, at Grove End between the A30 and A322, in Bagshot. The outline planning application was rejected by Surrey Heath Borough Council’s planning committee on Thursday, May 23. Early indications suggested there would have been at least 68 affordable homes, including 17 set aside as affordable first homes and 51 social affordable or intermediate rented properties. The developers said they would be willing to increase those numbers but the application itself had to be determined on those figures. The committee was advised that permitting the plans would be a departure from its developing Local Plan and undermine the council’s aim of only developing on brownfield sites in the near future – these are abandoned or underused former industrial land. Cllr Kevin Thompson (Liberal Democrat, Lightwater) said: “Often we talk about this need for affordable housing and we talk about numbers and we talk about statistics, but I think it’s important that we think about what that actually means. “We have a situation where the people that teach our kids, who look after us in hospital, can’t afford to live in this borough and they have to commute in, because we don’t have the affordable housing we need. We need to look at this very carefully because [this proposal] does provide us with a significant amount of affordable housing.” The land, between the A322 dual carriageway linking the M3 with Bracknell and Windlesham Golf Club, had been considered for redevelopment as the council looked for sites as part of its Local Plan. It “discontinued” the idea however as the borough could demonstrate it had enough brownfield land to meet its housing targets. Developers tried to argue the land, next to the A30, was not the idyllic rolling Surrey countryside that people think of as green belt because the main road had an “urbanising” affect on the site. Speaking on behalf of the application, the agent added: “The borough unfortunately has a major and sustained issue with failing to meet affordable housing needs as demonstrated.” He said in recent years there there had been a need to build 1,752 affordable homes, and so far it’s delivering just 39 a year. This development, he argued, would provide two years of affordable housing on a single site. He added that they needed to look at the quality of green belt in the borough as otherwise there would never been any development. Cllr Shaun Macdonald (Lib Dem, Lightwater) said: “We need to be extremely careful before we give up any green belt. I do accept the comments that this is not the most unique piece of green belt we have but it does form a barrier to the other areas adjacent and if we start allowing creep we will soon have all of the green belt gobbled up between Bagshot and north Windlesham. “If this space was on the other side of the A322 I suspect we would be having a very different conversation about the feasibility and viability.” Access was another issue raised during the meeting with one Bagshot resident, who had lived in the area for 56 years raising safety issues for any young families would could move there. He said: “This particular site to my mind has a very serious problem attached to it with regards to access.” Is this what Labour are going to call grey belt, and build on anyway? Land with the benefit of being close to a train station and a school. Sandwiched between main roads, a golf course and an industrial estate. This is land which provides little habitat to nature. Yet still NIMBYs reject it. The attitude of these people are kneecapping any possibility of economic growth and alleviating the housing crisis. Presumably Nathan Cassidy means the land provides little habitat to larger animals. If you can’t see it then it doesn’t really exist. A nonsensical rejection flying in the face of common sense which could and should be overruled in the not too distant future; irrespective of the general election result. Ah, Lib-Dem Councillors who actually protect their green belt areas rather than just obey the council planning Officers who allegedly know best even when residents who actually live in the area, unlike the officers, are objecting.

Published in 1883, a digital copy of the historical text is publicly available today and reportedly obtained the name the Golden Farmer as he used to make all notable payments in gold he acquired a farm in Gloucestershire and married the daughter of a wealthy innkeeper with whom he had a huge family of no less than eighteen children The tale goes that his seemingly honest farm work was merely a clever disguise veiling his more sinister occupation as a highwayman It was a double life successfully lived for more than 40 years; not even his wife was aware of his true identity Incredible long lost pictures show the famous Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car race scene filmed on Box Hill The book colourfully explains numerous gunpoint robberies he allegedly carried out Including one time when he is said to have raided several stage coaches full of women Most of those on-board complied with his demands and employing language which it would be hardly proper here to set down as to cause her to produce a purse of guineas they parted as good friends as when they were first introduced to each other." The Golden Farmer continued his robberies for 45 years with the National Biography noting it was his "charming manners" that enabled him to gain the confidence of his victims so successfully for so long The records state that he retired from the work for several years before being pulled back into it when he hoped to make a large sum of money quickly through his many years of unlawful activities he had earned himself a feared name and it was widely recognised across the land that the Golden Farmer was a wanted man The story goes that he met his demise when he was spotted in Salisbury Court in Fleet Street he shot a pursuing butcher with his pistol It was after this act that he was seized by authorities and tried for the butcher’s murder at the Old Bailey where he was also found guilty of several renowned robberies The National Biography says he was sentenced to be hanged in the spot where he had shot the butcher in what would have acted as a grisly warning to other highwaymen operating in the area his body was then hung in chains on Bagshot Heath the very place he had committed several of his heinous crimes The precise details of what happened to the Golden Farmer may remain a mystery forever as there appears to be some contradiction and tangle in historical accounts of his final years and where he died one account states the Farmer was actually hanged in front of a pub which was afterwards named the Golden Farmer Bagshot historian Ken Clarke reported to a Bagshot Village history website: "In my history of licenced premises of all 33 pubs in Frimley and Camberley I have traced the licensees from 1822 the highwayman was hanged and gibbeted in front of the premises in 1690...The Golden Farmer it allegedly changed to The Jolly Farmer in 1823 There is further evidence of this as a fascinating archive map from 1871 shows the Jolly Farmer P.H (public house) once stood in the spot in which a golf retailer It is located close to Bagshot Heath and sits in London Road (A30) which was formerly the Great West Road On the old map there is a post office nearby called Golden Farmer Post Office The roundabout where the golf shop sits today continues to be referred to as the Jolly Farmer roundabout by the local community A somewhat cheerful name for a spot which may have had a much more menacing past Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
