Surrey County Council Local Committee in Spelthorne

Sunbury Court Island, one of several Thames islands in the borough.

As part of the process of making Surrey County Council more accessible and accountable at a local level, County Councillors in Spelthorne have been meeting as a Local Committee since April 2002.

Local Committee members hear reports on a wide range of Surrey County Council services, allocate funds to promote "well-being" in the Borough and act as advocates on behalf of Spelthorne in the development of County plans and policies. There are many issues on which the Committee likes to involve residents. Views and input from the community of Spelthorne are welcome. There is an invitation to all borough residents to come along to the Local Committee meetings and meet the seven Spelthorne County Councillors who represent their views as Surrey residents.

Duties include making decisions about local transport and highways.

There is also the opportunity for local people attending meetings to ask questions and present petitions and views. If you need any further information please contact the Community Partnerships Team or the contact centre (contact.centre@surreycc.gov.uk / 03456 009 009).

Please note that the On Street Parking Proposals for Spelthorne will not be reported to the 11 July meeting of the Local Committee but will instead be discussed at the special meeting of the Local Committee on 14 September at 7pm.
