New Canal Steps

We are delighted to have completed the construction of the new canal steps which were opened for public use on Monday 5 March 2021. The new steps, which lead to the canal from Deepcut Bridge Road, have improved access to the canal and have an integrated bicycle rail which will help promote leisure and commuter cycle use of the towpath.

Working next to the canal, within a Site of Special Scientific Interest, posed many challenges. The canal is rich with wildlife and we had very stringent procedures to work around the canal, including environmental containment systems to prevent any contamination. To mitigate the risk, further precast concrete stair-units were used instead of using in-situ concrete.

A major logistical challenge for this work was to find a way to get the excavator onto the towpath to excavate and remove the old steps. The safest and most practical way was to engage a local Canal transportation company to deliver the 3.5 tonne excavator on a barge via Frimley Lock down to Deepcut Bridge Road.

This work was completed over a 17-week period and was carried out as part of the Section 106 planning obligations for the Mindenhurst development.

Bovis Homes

As housebuilding continues to operate during these challenging times, Bovis Homes is constructing high-quality new-builds at Mindenhurst in Deepcut.

The first parcel, A1, is located on Cyprus Road and will include a selection of one to five-bedroom properties. Our show home is due to launch this summer.

Bovis Homes is part of Vistry Group – a five-star housebuilder that is uniquely positioned in the top five in the UK. The designs of our homes and construction techniques blend tradition with innovation, creating well-built homes with modern living standards.

Bovis’ regional marketing manager, Alix Laflin, said: “We are very excited to have started on our new homes at Deepcut and to join the Mindenhurst community. It has been a development that we have been eager to launch, and we look forward to making a positive difference to the village. This is a fantastic location and we are proud of the houses we are building here.”

Bovis Homes is building a selection of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, from our latest collection. The first homes to be released will be two and three-bedroom properties.

The two-bedroom Holly house type is perfect for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. Starting from £375,000, the garden-facing kitchen/dining area is spacious while the front-facing living room is light and bright.

The three-bedroom Hazel, starting from £435,000, has stunning feature windows in the front-facing sitting room and en-suite master bedroom. The stylish, open-plan kitchen/dining room is ideal for family meals and entertaining friends while the three bedrooms provide plenty of space to relax and recharge.

Properties in Bovis Homes’ latest homes collection are named after British trees and focus on well-proportioned exteriors with a real sense of light and flow on the inside. Designed for modern living, home buyers can relax in open-plan living areas and stylish fitted kitchens, and bring the outside in with stunning bi-fold doors.

Vistry, formed in January 2020, brings together the energy and talents of Bovis Homes, Linden Homes and the newly-named Vistry Partnerships (formerly Galliford Try Partnerships).

Easter Trail in the Central SANG

We hope that you all had a lovely Easter and thank you to everyone who took part in our Easter trail through the Central SANG.

We had over 90 families join the hunt for Easter Eggs hidden in the woodland. Impressively everyone worked out the right seasonal word and a chocolate gift has been delivered to everyone who contacted us.

Thank you again, if you took part. It was lovely to receive all your feedback and photos from the trail.

Local children brighten up our site

Portesbery School Group Photo
Children from Portesbery School and Lakeside Primary School design artwork for our hoarding

Last year the Mindenhurst team invited children from Portesbery School and Lakeside Primary School to create artwork illustrating Skanska’s values, including reducing our carbon footprint, care for life and our environment. The winning artwork from this competition would be displayed on our hoarding however as all the submissions we received showed such creativity and imagination we decided they were all winners. We have displayed all their artwork on our hoarding outside the new Mindenhurst Primary School and Nursery. To thank them for their hard work and creativity we were delighted to invite the children to site to view their art and recieve a goodie bag for all their hard work.
