Surrey County Council’s
Local Committee in Tandridge aims to bring decision making closer
to residents by meeting in Tandridge District Council Chamber
(Oxted) to discuss and make decisions on issues such as public
rights of way and parking. The Committee is made up of the six
county councillors who represent each of the divisions within the
borough and six members from Tandridge District Council.
The committee welcomes all
residents to attend and listen the discussion, and you can view
webcasts of the previous meetings, and read the minutes of the
decisions made, and read the reports that were considered. You can
also have a look at the
meetings that are held by the borough council in
Tandridge.
There is also the opportunity
to participate by asking questions at the committee on local topics
or submitting a petition. Before you consider whether to engage
through this route, please investigate whether your query or
concern could be addressed through either one of the
Council’s online
reporting tools or through contacting one of the
Council’s dedicated service
response teams as this will enable you to get a response within
28 days and you will not have to wait until the next appropriate
meeting for the response to your question. Committee Managers will
happily give you guidance about whether this is the most effective
way to get an answer to your concern or signpost you to an
alternative approach.
There is always lots going on,
and you can have your say through surveys and consultations or
local conversations – these might be about local issues, or
bigger Surrey-wide policies. Have a look and have your
say!
