As of the 7th April 2008 our Community Safety Warden Andy Coumbe will be no longer covering Stoughton. Andy says "I have very much enjoyed the three and a half years that I have spent working with you all, and have really enjoyed every minute of it. Many Stoughton residents have my mobile phone number and Email address and I expect to still receive calls from some of them.  I may well be able to deal with some of those issues but I will pass anything involved onto my immediate successor, Richard Musgrove, the Community Safety Warden Team Supervisor.  Some of you may recall Richard from when he was the Stoughton CSW about three years ago. 

Richard Musgrove can be contacted on 01483 444502 or richard.musgrove@guildford.gov.uk. Richard will cover Stoughton for the short time that it takes to rearrange the team and give you a new permanent CSW.
