The police and crime commissioner for Surrey has warned that services could be cut if council tax is not increased.

Lisa Townsend said Surrey Police was one of the fastest-improving forces in England but her force still had to find a way to save roughly £18m over the next four years.

People are being asked for their thoughts on increasing their contribution.

The council tax survey will close at midnight on 2 February. Further information can be found on the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner website.
