Decision details

To note and endorse the ongoing work around Surrey County Council’s Brexit preparations.

RESOLVED:

That the current position of the council’s preparations, including the plans and preparations that were expected to be implemented by Friday 29 March 2019 (expected date for Britain’s formal withdrawal from the European Union) was endorsed.

Reason for Decision:

Brexit carries a number of potential possibilities and implications for the county. Surrey County Council has a responsibility to prepare for all eventualities, particularly those which pose negative implications for residents, communities and organisations. The council’s ongoing work outlines how it will ensure the necessary plans and preparations are in place to mitigate any potential immediate and short term implications and provide support and assurance where possible.
