Previous meeting

A lively discussion followed on the threats to the future of Farnham which would arise from over development. A strong request was made from the floor, that The Farnham Society should write a letter with the backing of all those present, to the appropriate Minister and individuals, drawing attention to the impending development disaster which is about to be visited upon the Farnham area.
Following the meeting Alan Gavaghan wrote to the Residents’ Associations
“It would be helpful if you would put forward your own criticisms and fears of the consequences should the existing policies be pursued and an outline of alternatives which should be considered.
Please feel free to put forward as many suggestions and points of view as possible and we will then analyse the various responses we receive and put together a coherent overview which would be circulated in draft form for final editing.
It was encouraging that there was such a strong response from all those attending the meeting last night and undoubtedly the worrying statistics we supplied has focused all Residents’ Associations on the threats to all of us living in this lovely part of Surrey.”
