No, these pictures were not taken in January at 6 a.m. They were taken the week before Christmas, at the height of a shopping day at Brightwells Surrey County Council’s multi-million-pound development on East Street, Farnham.
This development has left developer Crest Nicholson with a £20m hole in its finances. It also leaves the county council with a White Elephant! And ‘Your Waverley’ with obligations it cannot afford.
This mess is caused by a council eager to take over the running of every borough and district council asset. A council that wants the government to wipe out its £1 billion debt when it becomes the behemoth new Surrey unitary authority, with Emperor Tim Oliver at its helm.
If this doesn’t convince you to sign the petition opposing the cancellation of the May elections, nothing will.

The picture above reveals the lonely estate agency begging businesses across Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire to take a retail unit!
It is now believed that even Coppa Club has pulled out.
I love how Brightwells looks. The cinema and soft play are great for my kids. Once the other shops are let there could be a real buzz about the square. I for one am looking forward to when these places are filled
