Most people in the borough would support Brian Creese’s words:
“…it is clear that the transport infrastructure has reached its limit. Getting into and out of Guildford is becoming impossible. Housing targets do not stop traffic jams, or run reliable and affordable bus services to the villages!

“The important aspect of housing development is that it be affordable, properly supported by infrastructure and integrated into current communities. This is far more important than whether or not you hit some arbitrary numbers target.”

Well said.

This is not just common sense. It is what the National Planning Policy Framework says.

Why, oh why couldn’t Guildford Borough Council follow the rules?
