Motion submitted by Councillor Gaffney under Standing Order 7 “We deplore the demise of Surrey County Council's Tandridge Local Area Committee. This has denied Tandridge District Councillors and residents of Tandridge the opportunity to have matters of concern around services provided by Surrey County Council addressed, and formally answered, in public. We consider this to be a serious deficit in the democratic process.
We demand the reintroduction of regular meetings, held in public, minuted and webcast, at which Tandridge District Councillors and members of the Tandridge public can address members of the Surrey County Council Administration, and Surrey County Council Officers, about their concerns and elicit a formal response.” Additional documents: Minutes: Councillor Gaffney moved the following motion:
