Working Together, Making Surrey a better place

In Surrey we believe that partnership working is essential to improve people's quality of life. The Surrey Strategic Partnership (SSP) brings together key organisations from the public, private and voluntary and community sectors across Surrey to work for the benefit of the county.

Community Planning is where these SSP partners come together to:

• Agree the strategic direction for Surrey and
• Coordinate their organisations' plans and activities.

Long-term vision

The long-term goal of community planning in Surrey is the partnership’s Vision of Surrey in 2020. This came out of a major consultation exercise with over 3,000 people.

Sustainable Community Strategy

This vision is delivered through Surrey’s Sustainable Community Strategy. This strategy sets out the partnership’s priorities and actions, and is refreshed every three years.

Local Area Agreement

The Local Area Agreement is a three-year agreement between the SSP and central Government. It contains up to 35 targets selected from the Government's national set of targets. The targets reflect the priorities of our Sustainable Community Strategy.
