  9. University Accomodation Project

    I've had the attached FOI response sent over (FOI2018/00164). I'd like to pick up on the email on page three please. This appears to show that the council was in discussions with the University of Surrey regarding phase 3 accommodation on campus. What were the discussions mentioned and what had they involved up to this point? Have they progressed since? If so, how? Are the discussions related to the council's plans to invest £81million in student accommodation? If so, at the meeting when the budget was approved on February 7 the fact that councillors only had 30 days to look at the plans was raised. If discussions were ongoing in early November, why did it take two months for any other details to emerge?
