Burpham Air Pollution Community Workshop - Saturday 12th January
|
Do you worry about the impact the heavy traffic through Burpham has on air quality? The Burpham Community Association (BCA) has been working with Professor Kumar and his Global Centre for Clean Air Research team at Surrey University and we have already recorded some interesting results.
To find out more, why not come along to a workshop on air pollution that the BCA is hosting on Saturday 12th January in the Village Hall. It starts at 10am with a presentation on the different kinds of air pollution and the effects they can have and there will be an opportunity to look at ways we can mitigate the damage. The workshop ends at 1pm and refreshments will be available. If you can't stay for the whole programme please drop in at any time. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday - if you want more information please get in touch with me on secretary@burphamca.org.uk or phone 01483 567791. |

Burpham Under Threat!
|
The Burpham Under Threat bulletin outlines the devastating impact that the Draft Local Plan will have on our village if it is implemented.
It is also available as an A5 booklet; if you can spare some time to do a letterbox drop it would be much appreciated. It is important that as many residents as possible are made aware of what could happen. Please let me know if you would like some booklets to deliver. We are in the process of drafting a BCA response but that will only count as one - we hope that as many of you as possible will send your own responses to Guildford Borough Council. |

An independent report on the Local Plan for Guildford
The proposed Local Plan for Guildford by Guildford Borough Council threatens the future of Burpham, the Guildford green belt and the quality of life of thousands of residents. Unfortunately, the BCA and many other organisations believe it fundamentally unsound and based on poor quality data or inaccurate information.
The Guildford Residents Association (GRA) has commissioned an independent report. The GRA was formed in 2012. It aims to bring together residents associations and parish councils from across the borough to share ideas and information to enable the voices of residents be captured in the emerging Local Plan for Guildford.
You can find out more about the GRA here, and read the report by clicking here.

The History of Burpham
Moira MacQuaide Hall is writing a book on the history of Burpham village and would love to talk to people who have lived here over the last fifty years or more. She has done a lot of research on the facts but feels it is the personal memories that local residents share that make the story come to life. If you remember events or people in the village, or have photos that might be interesting then please contact Moira. This can be either by phone on 07963 756543 (leave a message or text if she doesn't answer) or email Moira.macquaide@gmail.com and she will get back to you.
