Notice Description

Guildford Borough Council's (GBC) aim is to improve the positioning of the town economically within the South East, UK and Europe through creation of a leading economic location that enables its businesses, institutions, and its community to thrive through regeneration of a town so that it can capture the opportunities and meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
