Background
Surrey County Council has worked in partnership with many of the borough and district councils for some years to permit roundabout sponsorship by businesses. We do not directly administer the sponsorship of any roundabouts, however we operate a scheme which has enabled councils to:
- improve the appearance of roundabouts
- improve the image of Surrey as a vibrant location for businesses
- promote the range of businesses already located there
We are now pleased to be able to extend the partnership scheme to local town and parish councils.
Information for businesses
If you run a business and wish to sponsor a roundabout in Surrey, please contact the local council for the area which you are interested in. Surrey County Council does not directly administer roundabout sponsorships and it is up to each local council to decide whether or not they wish to provide this service in their respective areas.

What do I do if the scheme does not currently operate in my area?
If you wish to sponsor a roundabout in an area which is not currently covered by the scheme, you may wish to contact a local council (borough, district, town or parish) directly to see if they are interested in joining the scheme.
Unfortunately, if the local council does not wish to enter into the scheme, it will not be possible to sponsor the roundabout.
