The Council's 2020 Strategy The Surrey Heath Borough Council 2020 Strategy sets out our key aims and objectives for the next ten years.

Looking to the future the Council has identified a number of Key Priorities for the Borough in the coming years.

The Council has long-held the view that at some point it will become part of a unitary structure. It may well be that the projected public sector expenditure cuts will bring that day closer than expected. In considering its options for the future the Council recognises that there must be significant and radical change in the delivery of local public services in Surrey Heath.
