We have launched our manifesto for the 2021 Surrey County Council elections, emphasising:

• Working for our communities and protecting them by supporting local businesses at this tough time;

• Campaigning for Surrey to get the affordable housing it needs whilst protecting our green belt area; and

• Providing care for those who need it by ensuring more funding for mental health services.

Our values on Compassion, Competence, Communities and Climate lead to our promises which include:

• Combatting anti-social behaviour, including littering from visitors and unacceptable exhaust noise from motor vehicles;

• Investing in road safety measures in light of local needs;

• Ensuring competent contract management and enforcement so services are quality assured the first time – pot holes to stay fixed, verges cut at the right time, responses to emergencies are timely and effective.

• Supporting children with special needs and their families by investing in SEND provision closer to home;

• Taking adult social care back in-house where required and providing an equitable and safe provision for the elderly;

• Making Children’s Services the best they can be with vulnerable families and their children kept safe and well cared for;

• Bolstering local flood prevention and holding drainage and sewage bodies to account; and

• Rebuilding youth services and adult education provision, and with libraries becoming all round community hubs supporting the community.
