Proposed UHS Supermarket - 2

Upper High Street Development

Regeneration of the Upper High Street shopping area in Epsom is being aimed at by council planners. A recent proposal from developers to build on part of the car park, as well as the adjoining Allam's garage and Iceland store, was approved by a government inspector after being rejected by Epsom & Ewell's planning committee. This could not go ahead, because the car park is owned by the Borough Council. However to try and attract more shoppers into the town centre, the planners are now considering an alternative development as a supermarket, by new site owners Helical Bar.

Opposition stifled at Borough Council as Crisis Looms

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council passed their budget and agreed a 4.9% council tax increase, virtually the maximum 5% allowed under government capping rules. Opposition leader Cllr Colin Taylor (Lib Dem) moved an amendment drawing attention to the looming financial crisis predicted for just after the next borough council elections - and the optimistic nature of the proposals to reduce spending. He pointed out that if this year's overspend was repeated the crisis would happen even sooner. He said "Much as I would like to see a smaller increase in Council Tax, the council's finances are in such a state that it would be irresponsible to propose this."

Janet Maines, Lib Dem group leader said: "This Tory-run County Council has got to move away from crisis management, with its ever spiralling costs, by investing in preventative measures that are good value for money and that better meet the needs of Surrey residents".
