Oxshott Regeneration Team Announces Sponsorship of Chatterbus
The Oxshott regeneration team is delighted to announce that Peter Brodnicki and James Davis are now proud sponsors of the incredible community transport charity, Chatterbus.
Peter and James are thrilled to align themselves with an organisation that continues to make such a powerful difference to people’s lives.
Chatterbus has established an outstanding reputation for reducing isolation and improving accessibility by providing reliable community transport for residents across Oxshott, Cobham and the surrounding area. While many people have access to their own transport, a significant number still rely on alternative travel options. Chatterbus offers an affordable, reliable and environmentally responsible way for people to access local shops, healthcare, social activities and essential services.
The sponsorship has helped support the introduction of a new Chatterbus route serving Gunters Mead in Oxshott, providing an important transport link for local residents.
Everyone involved is excited about the partnership ahead and the opportunities it creates to raise awareness and further support the outstanding work of Chatterbus.

July Regeneration Project Update
The Regeneration Team are pleased to share that Site 1 has now reached a major milestone and is officially watertight, bringing it one step closer to completion. With that stage now complete, work is continuing on the internal finishes as the team progresses towards the final stages of construction.
Meanwhile, preparations are underway at Site 2. As many will have seen, the hoarding is now in place. Behind the scenes, the Wolsey House Group team is working hard to ensure everything is in place ahead of the main construction works commencing. This important and essential preparatory work will help the next phase of the regeneration project progress as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
The coming months will bring several further updates and the team are pleased to say that timelines and milestones are still being met as expected.
June Regeneration Project Update
The regeneration team have shared another positive update on the project, with significant progress continuing to be made on Site 1 and exciting developments about to begin on Site 2.
Works at Site 1 continue to advance smoothly and remain fully on schedule. Both the roof and window installation phases are now very much underway and progressing well, marking another positive milestone for the works.
One of the most impressive aspects of the project so far that continues to surprise a lot of residents has been the considerate and discreet approach taken throughout construction. Many residents and visitors have commented that they were unaware works had even been taking place, despite the substantial progress that continues to be achieved behind the scenes. This is a real testament to the professionalism and careful planning of the team at Wolsey House Group, who have worked hard to ensure disruption has been kept to an absolute minimum while maintaining excellent progress towards the project.
Site 2 Set to Begin
Progress now also turns to Site 2, where work will officially commence on Monday 8th June with the start of demolition activities. This marks the first step in preparing the site for the next phase of development and represents another exciting milestone for the wider regeneration project.
As has been the case with Site 1, Wolsey House Group will continue to carry out works with a strong focus on minimising disruption to the surrounding community. Their proven track record at Site 1 gives us great confidence that works at Site 2 will be managed with the same care, professionalism and attention to detail.
Looking Ahead
It’s encouraging to see both sites moving forward, with Site 1 making excellent visible progress and Site 2 preparing to begin its transformation. We look forward to sharing further updates as work continues.
High Street Royal Mail Postal Service Update
As part of the imminent works at Site 2 (the old Post Office), Royal Mail has reviewed local postal provision and confirmed that the existing High Street post box will be removed rather than relocated.
Importantly, this reflects the strong postal service already available within Oxshott Village Store, where the main postal sack collection point is located, and where residents can continue to post regular letters and parcels conveniently. With the majority of local post that is posted on the High Street already handled through the store, Royal Mail considers this the most effective long-term arrangement for the village, as the High Street post box was near enough empty the majority of the time.
Therefore, from Sunday 17th May, Oxshott Village Store will remain the central location for all letter and parcel posting services. The store continues to play an important role within the community, providing not only postal services but also a wide range of everyday products and support for local residents.
April Regeneration Update
The regeneration project continues to progress to expected timelines and all with zero to minimal disruption. Below are the two main updates for the month of April:
Site 1:
In the coming weeks, Site 1 will reach a major milestone as the building becomes fully watertight, with roofing works completed. The image above shows the progress that is being made at the site. This confirms that Wolsey House Group are still firmly on schedule, with works progressing smoothly and causing zero to minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
Site 2:
Initial behind the scenes progress is also being made on Site 2. The site requires nine pre-commencement planning conditions prior to demolition of the previous building. These are now in their final stages, and Wolsey House Group are currently awaiting confirmation from Surrey County Council to proceed.
March Regeneration Update: Work at Site 2 Soon to Begin
The regeneration of our High Street continues to make excellent progress, thanks to the Wolsey House Group team and their efficient strategy.
At Site 1, next to Munch & Wiggles, construction remains fully on track, with Wolsey House Group still working toward completion for this Summer. Many residents will have noticed a visible milestone in recent weeks, as the existing roof structure has now been removed. This marks a significant stage in the redevelopment process and clears the way for the installation of the new roofing, which the community will see very soon. As this work progresses, the building will begin to take on its new form, bringing the regeneration project on to the next phase.
Equally as exciting is the news that work will soon begin on Site 2, the old Post Office. This is set to begin next month and represents the next major phase of the regeneration programme. The redevelopment of Site 2 will mark another positive step in shaping the future of the project.
A huge aspect of the project so far has been the careful approach taken by Wolsey House Group’s team to minimise disruption. Many residents have commented that, despite the significant work taking place, they hadn’t actually noticed, as the disruption has been zero to minimal. This has been very much by design, as mentioned in our previous update. The Wolsey House group team has prioritised a construction strategy that allows for excellent progress behind the scenes, whilst ensuring the High Street is minimally affected if at all.
We are pleased to confirm once again that all timelines and expectations are currently being met, which reflects the careful planning and collaboration that has gone into the project, with the community.
