SAFE AND STRONG IN TOUGH TIMES
SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL CONSERVATIVES
A RECORD OF ACTION, A PROMISE OF MORE
5 MORE PRIORITIES !
► Value for Money We have held
Council Tax rates at less than inflation
and will continue to deliver value.
► Roads and street lights We are
investing record amounts in improving
Surrey’s road network and are replacing every
street light in Surrey with a more efficient one.
► Innovation We will find new and innovative ways
of maximising value from our assets and
resources.
► Driving sustainable growth By extending
broadband coverage, training more apprentices
and building on the tourism impact of the Olympic
events we will help create growth and jobs.
► Protecting our Environment We have delivered
new and improved waste & recycling facilities
across Surrey and will continue to protect our
countryside.
In the last four years Conservative run Surrey County Council has delivered top quality services and value for money. That’s why IESE
declared the County to be “Council of the Year 2012”. By caring for
the vulnerable, producing great schools and investing in superfast broadband, better roads and more apprenticeships, we will keep
Surrey as the best place in the country to live and work.
