Camberley

 

The town, as most people see it as they approach along the A30, appears as one best avoided and encourages you to keep on driving. The length of the A30 fronting the town is horrendous, lined by dilapidated buildings and hoardings, which only gets worse as you then pass through an industrial area. Which is a shame as the same road also has the elegant entrance to RMAS along its route. But that is hidden away and if you blink, you've driven right past it. It's a terrific and genuine feature of Camberley that isn't made a feature. 

Those brave souls that do turn off and venture into the town see a slight improvement. The old high street has been recently refurbished but is already deteriorating as citizens discard their chewing gum and utility companies dig up the smart expensive new paving and replace it with black tarmac.  

Overall, the town seems to be rapidly falling behind its surrounding competing towns. The only real growth being the unrelenting development of flats and care homes.
