Please note that due to the national
situation regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, all future meetings of
this committee will be taking place remotely until such time when
they can be reconvened in person. As a result the public will not
be able to attend but can view the live event by clicking on the
link on the meeting page. All meeting
papers, decision sheets and minutes will still be available on the
council’s website.
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 2019/20.
Residents are welcome to attend meetings to ask questions,
present petitions on matters of local concern, or simply listen
in.
