Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us at an online or in-person event where you find out more about Local Government Organisation, ask questions and find out how to have your say. 

Planned maintenance to our phone payment system

We will not be able to take payments over the phone from 5.30pm on Tuesday 15 July to Wednesday 16 July. This is whilst we carry out some essential maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience. 

 

Street begging

To stop people having to beg we have range of services available to them.

People seen begging in the town centre may not be homeless or live in Guildford.

People beg for different reasons. Sometimes it is because of alcohol and substance addictions. Giving them money may encourage this. If you would like to help, you could donate to charity.

Local charities and housing associations give support to people who need it.

Report it

Begging is a crime that the police handle. 

You can report begging to the police online or by calling 101 (for reporting non-emergency matters).
