Community Engagement Strategy 

The strategy explains how everyone working and living in Guildford can get involved in local issues. It guides how we engage with the following groups when we provide services: 

  • our communities 
  • interested people  
  • organisations 

The strategy also guides our partners, including:

  • the county council
  • the police
  • health services

We've made sure we inform, consult, and involve the community as much as possible. Icon for pdf Learn how we've done this in the past [441.99KB].  

Public consultation of our Community Engagement Strategy ended on 2 June 2011. Your comments inspired changes to the draft document. The strategy was approved by the Local Strategic Partnership Board on 14 July 2011.
