Atrium Developers
Meet With Locals
Surrey Heath Borough Council met with Local Residents Associations, Business
Associations and the Construction Team for the Atrium to discuss up to
the minute information about the development.
The Atrium Liaison Forum has been set up to enable information to be exchanged
between parties, affected by the construction of the new development.
The Construction team will be using the Forum to distribute information regarding the construction programme and progress up-dates, whilst residents and local businesses will use it to air their opinions as to the impact of the construction on them. Forward Planning and consultation is hoped to minimise any disruption that the development may cause over the next two years.
The Consultation Code of Practice was emphasised to ensure a balanced debating session and consistency. It was highlighted that although the Forum had no formal decision making powers, it would be influential, as the Construction Team were keen to work in co-operation with local residents and businesses.
Concerns were raised and addressed in regards to several issues, including parking, the environmental impact of construction works, access to the A30 and the graffiti on the hoardings.
Mr Glen Fulton, The Chairman of the Forum said, “I am really pleased that the Forum has met for the first time in such a positive way. I am sure it will be very useful in helping the development go as smoothly as possible for all involved.”
The Forum intends to meet regularly with its next meeting in January 2006.
