Current Project Summary

Surrey Infrastructure Capacity Project

Project Manager = Damian Testa (Surrey County Council)

This project is conducting research into what the effects of the housing, employment and population growth patterns are likely to have on current public infrastructure provision and what deficits in existing provision exist. It is working towards determining what levels of investment are needed to match future capacity levels in light of the findings of the study. It is seeking to develop local government capacity not only to deliver the increased housing growth, but also to derive maximum benefit from the challenges this will bring, so enhancing existing communities and better planning for new ones.

Tackling Climate Change Together

Project Manager = Ray Morgan (Woking Borough Council)

This project is helping local authorities to deal with the forthcoming challenges of the Climate Change Bill and emerging targets related to climate change in the Surrey Local Area Agreement. It is building the capacity of local authorities to contribute to regional targets and local priorities as per the four climate change National Indicators.

Surrey County Council Strategic Leadership

Project Manager = Surrey County Council

This project aims to develop deeper and stronger managerial capacity across Surrey County Council, to assist with the organisation's change programme and to develop innovative approaches to improve outcomes for Surrey's residents and businesses. The project is ultimately looking to improve key services and target them based on where they are most needed. A shared evidence database known as SURREYi is being developed for public sector partners to share and access information with greater ease.
