At a meeting held on 20 April, the Guildford Vision Group steering group members were delighted to welcome local MP Anne Milton and her constituency PA Sarah Coleby.
Anne Milton was extremely supportive of the aims and objectives of GVG. As a local resident, she is only too aware of the issues we all contend with on a daily basis: the time we need to allow to get across town from any direction, the lack of safe pedestrian routes, the short-comings of the public transportation system and so on.
Anne encouraged GVG to make great efforts to work with Guildford Borough Council, to invite Councillors to meetings, and to keep the dialogue going. Invitations have been sent to Councillors, though, disappointingly, no GBC representatives have attended any Steering Group meeting thus far. GVG will continue to look for opportunities to engage the Council.
