In response to: Over 300 Attend Independent Candidates’ Meeting – Organiser Encouraged by Support

I understand that at Tuesday’s meeting held under the umbrella of “Residents for Guildford and Villages” Mr Rigg announced he intends to stand for election to Guildford Borough Council.

As the chairman and sole director of GVG, and in light of his reference to the right to question, will he now answer the questions which have been posed before, namely: i) does GVG have a conflicts of interest policy; ii) does it have a register of interests for its director and will he publish it, and iii) what, if any, conflicts or potential conflicts exist regarding the professional relationships of its director in light of its proposals?

Will he also answer the same questions for Guildford Neighbourhood Forum, the sole shareholder in GVG of which he, Julian Lyon and Bill Stokoe, all of whom have announced their intention to stand for the local Council, are the directors.
