The
Local Committee in Elmbridge is one of eleven established by Surrey
County Council in April 2002 to bring its decision making closer to
the local community. It serves to give both communities and
individuals a bigger say over decisions affecting them.
The
local committee in Elmbridge is made up of nine County Councillors,
representing each of the divisions within the Borough, and nine
Borough Councillors. Together they
discuss and make decisions on a range of local services including
highways and transportation, social care, education and young
people.
The
Local Committee also
provides funding
to support local projects
and initiatives that can make a difference to the community, with
over £45,000 available in 2018/19.
Residents are welcome to attend meetings to ask questions,
present petitions on matters of local concern, or simply listen
in.
