An introduction to the Council

With London and its international airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, only an hour away by car or train, and major towns and cities in the south within easy reach, Surrey Heath is an ideal location for world wide commerce. Not surprisingly, Surrey Heath is continually sought after for residential and commercial development. Commercial and housing development has brought radical changes to the Borough in recent years. These pressures, together with the fact that Surrey Heath is rated as one of the most prosperous areas in the country, provide a Borough where the needs of people, the environment and commerce must be skilfully blended. Leisure time is also well catered for, not only in Surrey Heath itself, with facilities for arts, sports and other family interests and pastimes, but in neighbouring areas as well.
