2025 has been a busy and productive year for us. We took part in five fairs and fetes, organised three litter picks, met regularly with Woking Borough Council’s planning teams and ran the popular Walk on the Wildside. Alongside these events, our ongoing work continued: reviewing planning applications, promoting care for our natural environment and supporting heritage conservation across Pyrford.
In January we began updating the Pyrford Neighbourhood Plan, a major piece of work that will help shape the future of our area. In December, we were formally re-designated as a Neighbourhood Forum, enabling us to continue representing Pyrford. We also requested a Community Governance Review, asking Woking Borough Council to consider the creation of a Parish Council for Pyrford.
Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be even busier. Work on the Neighbourhood Plan will continue throughout the year, the second phase of the Community Governance Review consultation will take place, and we look forward to organising more litter picks and another Walk on the Wildside.
Thank you to everyone who has supported and engaged with the Forum over the past year. We wish you all a very happy New Year and look forward to working with you in 2026 for the benefit of Pyrford.
