Surrey County Council’s Joint Committee in
Runnymede aims to bring decision making closer to residents by
meeting in Runnymede Borough Council Chamber (Addlestone)
to discuss and make decisions on
issues such as public rights of way and libraries. The
Committee is made up of the six county councillors who represent
each of the divisions within the borough and six members from
Runnymede Borough 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 Runnymede.
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!

meetings.
