People have been asked to give their views on ways to improve the county’s heritage service and help it provide better value for money for Surrey residents.
An online survey is being run as part of a public value review into what the heritage service does well, what it could do better and what could be done differently.
This will include finding out more about how people use the service, whether they are researching archives online, visiting the history centre, or are a developer seeking archaeological advice on a planning application.
Denise Saliagopoulos, Surrey County Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Services and the 2012 Games, said: “We’ve asked for people’s views and ideas at the very start of this public value review so residents can help shape the way Surrey’s heritage service is run for years to come and ensure it provides the very best value for money.
“We want to look at ways of working more efficiently, making better use of the resources we have and at how we could provide better services by working with other organisations.”
Surrey County Council’s heritage service looks after all aspects of preserving the county’s history. People can take part in the online survey by visiting www.surreycc.gov.uk/surreyheritage
