Conservative Pledges

delivered so far

In May 2003 Andrew Hodges & the Conservatives gave you five objectives we would achieve:

Double recycling and cut waste – we are on our way

Pay for two extra on the street policemen – done

Remove litter, dumped cars and rubbish faster – progress made

Increase affordable housing, and protect the borough’s character and country side – affordable housing targets exceeded . – introduced new planning guidance giving added protection

Spend your money on services not waste it on bureaucracy . – Guildford council tax rise lowest in Surrey.

You elected us – we are delivering.

The New Civic Hall

The road to a new Civic Hall started on 31 January when four bids were received. The panel making the selection of the preferred tenderer has looked at the bids and required more information and clarification. The selection will, therefore, not take place until the end of March/beginning of April.

In case you have forgotten why the old Civic Hall had to close:

“The building had been “past its sell by date since 1993” (Surrey Advertiser)

“ I would be sad – but now I've seen the backstage toilets” – Paul Jones (Manfred Mann at the Last Fling Concert)

Community Warden

At the last meeting of the Executive of the Council, we agreed to go forward with recruiting for the community warden posts which have been vacant since the previous occupants left the employment of the Council.

The new Community Warden for Christchurch is Brian Cuff, transferring within the Borough
