Councillor Sir Nicholas White

...noted the progress and emerging outcomes from the North Tandridge Neighbourhood Area Committee pilot and endorsed its continuation and refinement, subject to Surrey County Council's Cabinet decision.

...the 2026/27 final budget was approved, including a 2.99% council tax increase, a £13.831m net revenue budget requirement, and a £35.3m capital programme, while also determining that the council tax increase would not trigger a referendum and agreeing to unchanged local council tax support and parish council precept requirements.

...agreed the proposed revenue budgets for 2026/27 for Strategy and Resources Services (£7.530m) and Corporate Items (£1.617m), along with the Fees and Charges and a Capital Programme of £2.361m, subject to Full Council approval.

...approved the transfer of several community assets to parish councils, subject to further due diligence and valuations, with specific conditions regarding their restricted and unrestricted values.

...£150,000 was allocated to implement a Tandridge Winter Support Scheme, which will begin accepting applications on January 5, 2026, from residents needing assistance with essential household bills and living costs.
