Email: [email protected] PARISH COUNCIL COMPTON PARISH COUNCIL IN THE HIGH COURT. Earlier this year, immediately before the local elections, Guildford Borough Council adopted a new Local Plan, setting out its aspirations for housing, development and other areas of local government. This plan included a proposal to build 1,800 homes on the Blackwell Farm site, much of which lies within Compton Parish and all of which is within the Metropolitan Green Belt. Compton Parish Council, after consulting through public meetings, resolved to challenge this Plan, the basis for the housing numbers, the way the inspector conducted the hearings and the manner in which it was adopted by GBC. Our advice was that the dwelling numbers (at 37% above the Council's own objective assessment of housing need) could not be justified, and the extra road traffic generated would be enormously harmful to Compton village. Our challenge, together with the challenges from two other parties, will be heard at the Law Courts in the Strand, London on Tuesday 5th, Wednesday 6th & Thursday 7th November, as a Section 113 Challenge. The hearing will be open to the public from 10.30am to 4.30pm. You are very welcome to attend and support our legal team. Mobile phones are permitted in the courtroom but you are warned that if they go off, you are liable to be in Contempt of Court so it is important to keep all devices on silent! BE ALERT! Following a recent burglary near Spiceall, it has become apparent that the perpetrators were watching the property from a car parked close by for some time before they broke in.

The theatre is owned and directly operated by Guildford Borough Council. The conversion of the building to the Electric Theatre was due to successful lobbying from the Guildford Amateur Theatre Association (GATA) who also provided technical equipment. A legal agreement gives GATA priority booking rights and concessionary hire rates. The Council has been considering the role the theatre plays in contributing to the overall performing arts provision in Guildford. It is important to the Council that any decisions on the future of the Electric Theatre are taken in the context of the other performing arts venues and affordability in light of competing priorities for the Council’s declining revenue budget. A stakeholder workshop was held at the Electric Theatre in March 2014 with an aim to understand the cultural offer, purpose and future of the theatre.
