Have your say on Police Funding

Would you be prepared to pay a little extra to support our policing teams in Surrey over the coming year?

The Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend is asking the public to fill in a brief survey and share their views on whether they would support a small rise in council tax so that policing levels can be sustained in communities across the county.

The Commissioner said that like all public services, policing is facing a significant rise in costs in the current financial climate and in order to maintain the current position, an increase of some kind will likely be necessary.

The public are being invited to have their say on whether they would agree to pay an extra 83p a month on an average council tax bill.

The short online survey can be filled in here: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/YYOV80/

The survey only takes a few minutes to fill in and will be open until January 4th.
