Our vision
Our collective vision is to transform local government in Surrey to deliver financially sustainable, locally accountable services that drive economic growth. By adopting a strategic, long-term planning approach across functional economic areas, we aim to achieve the best outcomes for the residents and businesses of Surrey. Our proposal will lay the essential foundations for devolution, creating a meaningful economic footprint and facilitating the establishment of a Mayoral Strategic Authority to further drive growth across Surrey and the wider South East.
The future of local government in Surrey
- Three new, financially-viable, successful and efficient unitary local authorities.
- A structure that serves Surrey’s three distinct functional economic geographies and local identities.
- A structure that enables Surrey to fully take advantage of the opportunities afforded by devolution.
- Genuine and meaningful resident engagement and empowerment.
- Strong local leadership that drives economic growth through devolution.
- Strong governance and accountability.
Improved services, outcomes and value for money.
By reducing duplication, achieving greater economies of scale through operating at larger geographic footprints, and capitalising on opportunities for transformation and service improvement, local government reorganisation will result in significant financial benefits and improved value for money in Surrey.
These financial gains will enable us to deliver high-quality local public services through holistic, placed-based approaches that empower communities, address local need, support devolution and drive economic growth.
