Michael Gove is pressing for step-free access to be installed at Ash Vale Station, and on 4 June 2018 he wrote to the Transport Secretary, the Rt. Hon. Chris Grayling MP.

Many local residents have expressed concerns about the number of housing developments in the Ash and Tongham area, and the lack of infrastructure to cope with an inevitable increase in population and the number of cars on the already congested roads.

Proposals have been put forward to develop Fairoaks Airport into a Garden Village of 1,500 homes. Local residents fear the impact it would have on the neighbouring village of Chobham, which already suffers from congested traffic.

Michael Gove MP said:

Local residents are campaigning against the prospect of 4-way traffic lights being installed on the Green as a consequence of the significant housing development coming to Deepcut. They maintain that if traffic lights are installed the whole character of the village Green will be altered.

Michael Gove welcomed the rollout of superfast broadband connectivity across Surrey Heath. To date, the Government-funded Broadband Delivery UK programme has made superfast broadband available to 5,116 homes and businesses in Surrey Heath.

Michael wholeheartedly supports the fight for a greatly improved rail service, and is working together with local Councillors to ensure residents’ voices are heard.

Michael Gove met Windlesham Parish Councillor, Conrad Sturt, Graham Bullen of the Windlesham Society and Robert Goodwill, Minister of State for Transport, to discuss the widening of the M3 between junctions 2-4a. Mr Goodwill was delighted to report that all eight lanes of the M3 through Surrey Heath will now receive quiet-surface treatment during the smart motorway works.
