Reason for Decisions

The Council reviews and refreshes its Corporate Strategy each year.  By confirming a long term vision for the county and setting priorities for the next year the Corporate Strategy provides a clear sense of direction for Council staff and signposts the Council’s approach for residents, businesses and partner organisations.  As part of the Council’s Policy Framework (as set out in the Council’s Constitution) the Corporate Strategy must be approved by the County Council. 

The Directorate Strategies and the Communications and Engagement Strategy will support delivery of the priorities set out in the Corporate Strategy, ensuring the Council delivers great value to Surrey residents.
