When I first read the Guildford Borough Corporate Plan a number of things struck me.
- Why didn’t I know about it? Like most good political operators, the Council slipped it out last October when everybody’s attention was focused elsewhere on the Local Plan; no fanfares, no publicity, not even a press release.
- Why didn’t I have a chance to comment on it before or after the fact? After all it contains stuff on housing and economic development that has the potential to affect where I live over the next three years and on through the Local Plan period up to 2031.
- How long was it in development, where did the evidence come from and could I trust the sources? You never know, it might have been prepared by the University of Surrey.
