Encouraging Response To Upper High Street Meetings
The Council ran two "workshops" on 19th January to discuss the Upper High Street development area. They received such an encouraging response that the doors had to be closed at the 3.00 pm session. Those who couldn't get in were asked to attend the evening meeting instead. This too was packed out, with standing room only. Cllr Julie Morris, a member of the Council's working party that set up this event said "The turn-out was really tremendous. The Council should learn from this and in future automatically arrange similar events for all major development sites in Epsom and Ewell".

The final stage in plan preparation was the deposit draft, which would be examined in public by an Inspector. The Inspector's recommendations would be considered by the Council, who would adopt the final plan to come into force.
