Our Purpose
Welcome to FEDORA – The Voice for Oxshott.
We are a not-for-profit company run by local residents who are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of life in our village and its surrounding areas. Our focus is on initiatives to do with planning, roads, flooding and a “green” Oxshott as well as supporting litter picking, community speed watch and other local activities. We are totally non-sectarian and non-political, and seek to represent the whole of Oxshott. You can read more about our company here.
