From Stephen Cosser

former Mayor of Godalming and Godalming town councillor

In response to: Why Guildford Needs a Town Council?

I would urge the residents and businesses of Guildford to get behind Gavin Morgan and all those pressing for a Guildford Town Council.

As a former Mayor of Godalming and town councillor (for 16 years) I saw daily the importance of having a local body that could focus on and respond to the needs of its community and help preserve and improve the services and facilities most valued by local people.

Also, as a former chair of the body representing and supporting all town and parish councils in Surrey (SALC) I was able to witness countless examples of the value of having a local council to provide a strong voice on behalf of its local community.

I wish Mr Morgan well in his campaign.

Editor’s comment: I don’t believe Gavin Morgan has started a campaign. As far as I know, he was simply expressing his opinion.
