Representatives from the faith community, ethnic minority groups, young people and disability organisations joined Cllr Monika Juneja, lead councillor for planning and governance, to talk about the needs of minority groups.

The discussions focused on community engagement, shaping council services, the need for housing and future development of the borough.

Cllr Juneja said: “It was great to see so many representatives from across the borough. It is important that the needs of local minority groups are taken into account when planning the future of Guildford. The feedback from the event will help us shape our services for local people.”

The event took place at the Radisson Blu Edwardian hotel in the upper High Street.
