Dismay at Guildford House decision
There was disappointment and dismay when Guildford Borough Council's Executive refused to guarantee continuing public access to the historic Guildford House. Many members of the public attended the meeting on 25 March, to hear the Executive's response to the recommendation from the Council's Corporate Improvement Scrutiny Committee that the Council should 'ensure continuing public access' when investigating alternative uses for the building. Although the Executive has made a commitment to retain the freehold, they have not ruled out possibilities such as a long lease to a commercial organisation which might not allow public access.
