Last week, local resident Mr Shatwell wrote to the Woking News & Mail to express his concerns over potential development plans for Kingfield. Read his letter, first printed in the Woking News & Mail, 27/06/2007
Letter: Don?t ignore residents
EDITOR ? I read with interest your article on the future of Woking Football Club.
Mr Ingram may be able to blackmail Woking Borough Council into obeying his orders but if he thinks he can do the same to the residents he has another think coming.
I, on behalf of the residents, have written and hand-delivered four letters to the football club asking for details of his proposals and asking to be involved in the consultation process. Mr Ingram has not had the courtesy to reply to any of these letters. He ignores the residents at his peril.
Whilst most residents would be happy to see the football club progress into the Nationwide League it will not be done to the detriment of the residents, and we would not care if the club sank so low that it was relegated to the Surrey Pub League.
Mr Ingram complains about the amount of his own money that he has sunk into the club but I am sure he did so with his eyes wide open, and a very important ulterior motive.
My message is quite clear, Mr Ingram, don?t ignore the residents.
