| Guildford High Street
| |
In the 6 years that I have lived in Guildford I have never been able to fully
appreciate just how beautiful our High Street is. Has anyone seen the High
Street free of contractor's debris, hoarding and scaffolding? I wonder if
the Council appreciates what a poor impression this creates both of the town
and of those in charge? If you would like to find out when we can expect to
see an improvement, click here to access the Surrey County Council website and
send them your comments.

Surrey Local Government Association wants your comments about Waste Management.
Everyone knows that we produce huge amounts of waste, most of which now
goes into big holes in the ground. Ways of reducing it, and alternative methods
for its disposal, must be found. Look at a leaflet in the local library,
or the Council Offices, or see the website:

Guildford Hydro Project
| |
The present consultation finished at the end of September but there will
be further consultations, so comments are still welcome. The consultants
will send an interim report in mid October, and the partnership has been
informed that the project is likely to be pronounced both economically and
practically feasible. We anticipate that we will then be making bids for
up to 200,000 to a variety of funding sources. Listed building consent
will also be sought at this stage, since the tollhouse is grade 2 listed.
The partnership is considering asking for financial support from local people,
but will also seek support from the Council and other bodies. It is anticipated
that all things being well the project could be working by the end of 2004,
and the power station will be open as part of the Councils existing heritage
day arrangements. Comment to: - David Harnett, Project Manager, Guildford
Borough Council, Millmead, Guildford "Harnettd.@guildford.gov.uk,
