The public car park at the formal park next to St Barbara's Church in Deepcut is now open for use.
Following the works on the formal park being completed by Skanska, the car park was officially opened to the local community today (Thursday 2 July).
Surrey Heath Portfolio Holder for Built Environment & Regulation Cllr Alan Ashbery said: "I am pleased that the car park in Deepcut is now open for the public to use.
“I know many local residents have been frustrated by the wait for this car park to open while other works in the wider park development were completed, and I'd like to thank people for their patience during this time.”
The refurbished car park includes disabled and electric vehicle charging spaces. It will be free to park there, with a stay limit of five hours to improve parking availability and prevent long-term occupancy. This will also help to ensure spaces are available at school pick-up and drop-off times, for park visitors and for events at the Church or Church Hall.
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation and Skanska will be responsible for the formal park and car park for the 12-month period from 30 June 2026, after which the car park will transfer to the council to maintain.
