Agenda

To receive declarations of any Disclosable Pecuniary Interests or other registrable or non-registrable interests from Members in respect of any item to be considered at the meeting.

On 16 December 2024 the Government published its English Devolution White Paper outlining a very clear ambition for every area in England to move towards setting up a strategic authority, led by an elected mayor. 

The Government also set a clear expectation that in two-tier areas, such as Surrey, local government be reorganised (LGR) with new unitary councils established to replace district, borough and county councils.

Via a letter dated 5^th February, 2025 Local Authorities in Surrey were invited to submit interim proposals for Local Government Reorganisation by 21^st March, 2025 and a full proposal by 9^th May, 2025.
