The Bookham Residents’ Association is pleased to share an important update from David Cox, Chairman of the Bookham Youth & Community Association (BYCA).
Construction of the new Bookham Youth & Community Centre will begin on 5 May 2026, with Beard Construction appointed to deliver the project. Their Letter to Residents is available to view on the BYCA website.
This milestone has been a long time coming. Back in May 2012, the then Leader of Surrey County Council instructed that a replacement centre should be built. Fourteen years, countless meetings, and several “false dawns” later, the project is finally moving forward.

The BRA warmly congratulates David Cox, the BYCA team, and all supporters who have worked tirelessly to reach this stage. We look forward to seeing construction progress and to welcoming this much‑needed community facility once complete.
