Surrey Local Government Association
The Surrey Local Government Association (SLGA) oversees all of the current Surrey Improvement Partnership projects.
The SLGA is a partnership of all eleven Borough and District Councils in Surrey, together with Surrey County Council. It provides a forum where leaders and senior members can work together to provide better services for the people of Surrey. The Association comprises twenty-two members, eleven of whom are County Councillors and eleven of whom come from the Borough and District Councils. These twenty-two members are supported by the Chief Executives from the twelve Councils. The Association appoints a Chairman and Vice-Chairman at member level, and an Honorary Secretary at officer level. All of these positions are shared between the twelve principal councils and are rotated on a two-yearly basis.
