The CR3 Forum would like to identify what residents love and hate in Caterham-on-the-Hill, Caterham Valley, Chaldon and Whyteleafe in order to help create a plan to shape the future development in the area.

Chris Windridge of the CR3 Forum said: "We want to give every resident a chance to get involved by identifying hidden treasures in the area: places that matter to them, but that may be in danger of being overlooked or lost in the mists of time. We'd also like to know about the other side of the coin: local eyesores which have a negative effect on their surroundings.

"The entrants themselves can decide what to photograph - it could be a building of interest, a woodland area, an interesting view - anything that gives our local area an identity that they would like to see preserved - or alternatively something that detracts from the desired image of the area. The only restriction is that it must be in the Caterham, Chaldon or Whyteleafe area."

￡100 will be awarded to the best picture received, as judged by the CR3 Forum Urban & Rural Design and Heritage working group. Send a high quality (around 1mb) digital colour photo in jpeg format, including your name, contact details, and a brief description of where the photo was taken to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Chris said: "Creating the CR3 Forum Neighbourhood Plan is a wonderful opportunity for local people to have a say in how our area should look over the next 20 years, so let's not lose the opportunity!"

There is still time to complete the CR3 Forum Survey to express your views about the area and provide ideas and issues to be considered. The link for the survey is via www.cr3forum.org.uk together with news and to register to be involved in different projects.
