Residents are invited to see local democracy in action at the December meeting of Surrey County Council's local committee for Tandridge. Tandridge Local Committee is meeting on Friday 9th December at 10.15am at the offices of Tandridge District Council in Station Road East, Oxted.

The local committees, which have borough and district council members too, were set up in 2002 to bring the council's decision-making closer to the people it serves. They make decisions on certain local services, particularly highways, and monitor the quality of all services locally. They talk to local people to find out what their concerns are and try to address them locally, while also trying to influence countywide plans in the light of local needs.

Committee papers for the meeting are available seven days beforehand either from Janet Johnson on 01737 737422 or by visiting the Surrey County Council website at www.surreycc.gov.uk.
