Local Firms Secure Work in Sussex and Surrey

Annual figures reveal that 4,300 local companies secured £363m worth of contracts from the council- the equivalent of just under £1m daily.

That means that local spending on goods and services has surged to 52% as the council pushes towards its target of 60%. Three years ago, the council spent just over a third of its money locally.

This comes after a number of initiatives such as Build surrey, which were designed to make it easier for firms to do business with the council

Surrey County Council has been named the top performing council in England!

This is for its work last year managing public right of way.

The public’s satisfaction has risen to the highest in the country following successful work by the council’s countryside access team who teamed up with volunteers to improve local path signs and create better web-based information.
