Surrey County Council is set to make decisions at its meeting on 15 June 2010 about new rules allowing Surrey residents to present petitions at meetings of the full Council and call for debates on them.

Various organisations across Surrey will be taking part in the fun and friendly Surrey Cycle Challenge to see who can get the most staff to riding their bikes as much as possible from 14 June to the 27 June.
