THE vice-chairman of the Brightwells Gostrey Centre has described it as being in "the same hopeless position" it has been in for the last 12 years.

It was all those years ago that the centre was first promised new and improved premises within the East Street redevelopment and vice-chairman Lucinda Fleming, a former Mayor of Farnham, suggested: "Waverley should be shot for all the delays."

It is now more than three months since Mrs Fleming and Gostrey Centre chairman Stephen Inman wrote to all 57 Waverley councillors complaining that alterations to the East Street plans had rendered the new centre scheme "unfit for purpose".

They also explained how, once the East Street redevelopment got under way, staff and clients would face 'intolerable" conditions at the edge of the building site.
