About Surrey County Council Surrey has a central role to play in the regional and national economy, and Surrey County Council and its partners have a deeply held ambition for the county’s economy to be strong, vibrant and successful. We want Surrey to be a great place to live, work and learn; a place that capitalises on its location and natural assets, where communities feel supported, and people are able to support each other. Evidence tells us that while many residents and businesses thrive in Surrey, not everyone has the same opportunities to flourish. Surrey is an affluent county, and this image often disguises problems of inequality that some residents face. Our four priority objectives to address a different aspect of inequality are: • Growing a sustainable economy so everyone can benefit Surrey County Council is committed to tackling inequality, whether that is supporting businesses in Surrey to thrive, improving health outcomes for our most vulnerable residents, tackling the challenges climate change presents, or helping to create the conditions for residents and communities to better support themselves. The driving principle behind our strategy is to ensure no one is left behind. • Tackling health inequality • Enabling a greener future • Empowering communities
