Shaping Farnham's Future
The Farnham Infrastructure Programme is a partnership between Surrey County Council, Waverley Borough Council, Farnham Town Council and Jeremy Hunt MP.
We are working together to reduce carbon emissions, improve the connections between the town’s communities, support economic vitality and encourage growth, and improve life in Farnham with cleaner air, healthier lifestyles and less dominance of traffic on communities.
About the project
This consultation has now closed. Thanks to everyone who's had their say. We're now reviewing your comments and will feedback in due course.
Farnham is on the verge of making a once in a generation change to its town centre.
Since the Farnham Infrastructure Programme was formed by Surrey County Council, Waverley Borough Council, Farnham Town Council and Jeremy Hunt MP, we’ve been developing proposals to:
- reduce carbon emissions
- improve the connections between Farnham’s communities
- support economic vitality and encouraging growth
- improve life in Farnham with clean air, healthy lifestyles and less dominance of traffic on communities.
Through the programme, we’ve been bringing residents with us every step of the way. First with our vision consultation, and then we asked your opinion again as we turned the vision into our masterplan - called the Optimised Infrastructure Plan. Now we are coming to you with proposals for the town centre for your comments, as well as highlighting options for the A31 corridor.
A video showing what the town centre could look like with the proposed changes can be found further down this page.
Public exhibitions
As part of the consultation we held four public exhibitions to provide detailed information about the proposals, and four virtual reality experiences.
