In terms of selling the pub, it\u2019s envisaged that they could look for something in the regions of \u00a31.8- 2.0M but with the state of the business and property at the moment, it should be nearer to 1 million. \u00a0<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>MATTERS ARISING<\/strong><\/p><p>There is an individual who has expressed interest in taking on a 20 or 30 year lease of The White Hart. A public meeting has been organised for Friday 11<sup>th<\/sup> July in St. Alban\u2019s Hall to see whether there is any interest in taking it on as a community pub. However, the meeting may not need to take place if a tenant has been found by that time. Chris continues to be in conversation with the owners of the pub.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>CHAIRPERSON\u2019S REPORT<\/strong><\/p><p>Preparations continue for the Summer Show. Howard Smith, the Mayor of Guildford, will be opening the Show at 1pm. 35 stallholders have been booked. There will be plenty of entertainment on the day. The Dog Show will take bookings beforehand online and during the day itself. There are currently no plans for a tug-of-war.<\/p><p>The tea tent will be run by Louise Mandeville and the Church.<\/p><p>Susie asked about communication with the school on the Summer Show. Alex will put Susie in contact with Jo Ascione and Ali will give her Kate Overy\u2019s contact details.<\/p><p>New banners will be going up to advertise the event at the end of this month.<\/p><p>Volunteers are needed to help collect donations for the tombola: Belinda, David and Alex offered to help with this. We also need people to man the stall on the day. Louise offered to help all afternoon if needed!<\/p><p>There will be a band playing in the evening. Key of Jay will start at 7.30pm.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Tickets for The Jazz Festival are up 50% from the same time last year, mainly due to the headline act: The Wonder of Stevie.<\/p><p>Tickets for the Jazz Festival are \u00a325 and curries will be \u00a312.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The litter pick was a great success with 25 adults and children. Refreshments were served in the Church Hall afterwards which worked very well and was a much cheaper option than drinks at the pub. The only difficulty going forward with this will be if the hall has been booked for a private function on that afternoon. The next litter pick will be on Saturday, 8<sup>th<\/sup> November.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Richard wants any copy for the newsletter to be submitted by Friday, 20<sup>th<\/sup> June so that he can get it to the printers by the 27<sup>th<\/sup> June.<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The completion of the footpath to Fairlands is still awaiting the necessary money from SCC.

Whether this will assist the fraud enquiry will be their decision but as a minimum, it should establish a reasonable assessment of whether sufficient budgetary provision has been made for the future, and it will help in establishing a degree of transparency into what, essentially, has been until now, conducted in private.<\/li><li>The Unitary Process continues with all recommendations now into the minister for appraisal. It now seems that there is to be a further consultation in late June with unspecified stakeholders. After this is over, the government alone will make the final decision. This decision is expected Sept \/ Oct to enable elections to proceed in May 2026.<\/li><li>As reported last month, the Council has also committed itself to &#8220;Bringing a report to full Council for approval of terms of reference for a community governance review of the unparished town area of Guildford. Since then, we have received a letter from the secretary of state saying that \u201cNew Town and Parish Councils need to think carefully how they might be funded\u201d The implication is clear that no new funding will be provided by Government. It is silent on existing parish councils but it\u2019s likely that current precepts will continue, at least for the immediate future.<\/li><li>With regard to localism, Guildford has its existing Parish Councils already. (Except Wisley and the Town Centre). Community councils have been suggested by SCC but there is very little information on how these would differ from existing Parish arrangements or how they would be funded. Additionally, Guildford Conservative Association is proposing the formation of Charter Trustees for Guildford, which would preserve the civic heritage of Guildford. This would mean that the role of Mayor, Honorary Aldermen and the civic regalia held for centuries, will not be lost for Guildford. All in all, there is a long way to go before any of this gets finalised.<\/li><\/ol><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>WORPLESDON PARISH COUNCIL<\/strong><\/p><p>Bob gave the report from WPC<strong>:<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>1.Graffiti\u00a0 &#8211; Broad Street bus shelter<\/strong> \u2013 Our Groundstaff continue to remove graffiti from this bus shelter as and when an incident occurs.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>2.Maintenance of the Community Car Park<\/strong> \u2013 Our Groundstaff have been undertaking weed removal.\u00a0 Now that no mow May has finished, our staff will strim the banks.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>3.Anticipated heavy rainfall<\/strong> \u2013 Our Groundstaff continue to monitor the pond and grilles in Wood Street Village taking preventative action in a bid to reduce the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>4.St Mary\u2019s, Worplesdon<\/strong> \u2013 A large funeral is taking place at Worplesdon St Mary\u2019s at 1pm on Tuesday 10 June.\u00a0 There may be possible traffic disruption.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Some concern has been expressed about a van on the corner of Broadacres.

The postman has proved to be a valuable source of information and Ali has also contacted two estate agents who were interested in giving the letter to any new residents. It was suggested that she could also contact Curchods, Bournes and Savills estate agents. The school would also like a copy to give out to parents of children starting in September.<\/p><p>Concern was expressed about a willow and sycamore tree at Hillplace Farm. The willow has been savagely pollarded and the sycamore tree has been removed when it should not have been. Honor offered to investigate the communication between GBC and the new owner to see how this could have happened.<\/p><p>Following Monday\u2019s meeting, Philip contacted the Arboricultural Officer at GBC who sent this reply:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>Afternoon Philp,<\/em><\/p><p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>All the details in regard application 25\/T\/00050 are in the public domain and you will see a detailed tree assessment schedule, \u00a0including photographs showing clearly the work that were proposed within the application.
