YOUR COMMUNITY - YOUR FUTURE

• Do you have ideas on what Guildford's future should be?
• What issues concern you?
• How would you like to see Guildford develop over the next 10 to 20 years?
• What should our priorities for the future be?

These are just some of the questions we are asking as we prepare a community plan for Guildford. To make sure that it is truly a plan for everyone, we need to hear your views on how you would like to see Guildford develop as a place to live, work and visit.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY PLAN?

It is a document, which will reflect our vision for Guildford's social, environmental and economic well being. It will provide a clear plan for the future which:

• Reflects local people's priorities and needs
• Sets out how they can be achieved with available resources
• Will be put together by the Borough Council and all the local organisations that provide people with services.
• Is likely to build on current schemes as well as looking at future opportunities
• Will have achievable aims, which reflect local people's wishes.

To help us decide on priorities for your future, we need your help with one of the biggest projects ever carried out in the borough.

WHAT YOU'VE TOLD US SO FAR

We have already consulted widely through our residents' survey and also through our citizens' panel of 1000 borough households who give us regular feedback on many local issues.

They have shown clear support for schemes, which already improve our day-to-day lives. Some of these are:

• Increasing the amount of affordable housing opportunities
• Finding ways to meet the needs of young people within the borough
• Maintaining and publicising Guildford as a safe borough
• Supporting local businesses
• Keeping an attractive local environment
• Tackling transport issues by providing practical alternatives to the car
• Providing services to increase mobility for everyone.

So early feedback from local people says they want a safe, clean, green environment in which to live and work.
