The Bookham Bugle has raised the profile of a large scale proposed development that would see almost 3 acres of Bookham's distinctive features of independent shops, historic buildings, and trees turned over to a Waitrose and car park.
Some developers would make a lot of money. Bookham residents would lose the current amenity, the character of their village and would gain just another clone shop - offering nothing which you cannot already get from the neighbouring supermarkets.
Let's not forget the blight on the local residents with this development cloud hanging over them - it is in everybody's interest to ensure that this developmenti s closed down as soon as possible.
