Further to my letter to Elmbridge Borough Council last week asking that the June 2020 audit regarding community centres be released, I have now received a response from the Leader of the Council refusing to release this report. This report was the first time concerns surrounding community centres were brought to officers and councillors, so it is vital to understanding exactly what the issues resulting in the closures were, and how long they had been going on for.
I have now submitted a formal freedom of information request to Elmbridge Borough Council asking that this audit be made publicly available immediately to allay the concerns of residents that the crisis engulfing our community centres is being compounded by the concealment of that critical report.
