The cost of running Surrey History Centre is met within the Library and Cultural Services Department and the proposed cut in the annual budget for the whole department from £8.7m to £4.0m would, if implemented, have a dramatic effect on every aspect including Surrey History Centre. Many of us work with or make use of the Surrey County Council services under review and know the quality of the staff and how greatly research by ourselves and others will be affected if the proposed cuts go ahead. It would be a sad state of affairs if a county such as our own cannot adequately provide services such as these that enhance the quality of life and sense of place for all our residents and visitors.

  • Guildford Borough Settlement Profiles
    Guildford borough Settlement profi les July 2013 1.0 Executive summary This document provides contextual information regarding each settlement in Guildford Borough Council. It should be read alongside the Village Hierarchy study in which we have scored, ranked and categorised each settlement according to a range of considerations. This review used sustainability indicators such as the availability and accessibility of services and facilities, and a functional score to assess how well our rural settlements work. We used the following categories: • urban area • semi-urban village • large village • medium village • small village • loose knit village / hamlet Figure 1 below shows the considerations we used to assess each settlement in order to compile the new settlement hierarchy. It also illustrates the linkages and overlap between these two documents. We have included detailed information regarding the environmental sustainability indicators, contextual information such form and character, and commentary regarding how well each rural settlement functions. We based the latter on feedback we received from each representative parish council. The functional score is split into a range of headline statements, further information of which is available in appendix one. Please note we have considered those settlements categorised as loose knit villages or hamlets (small groupings of homes) together, at the end of the document. This document is a technical study, and therefore it is not a consultation document. Given that much of this information is subject to change, this will be a living document. We will update it as and when newer information is made available to us. If you have specific information about settlements in Guildford borough that would help us to update this hierarchy in the future, we would be interested to receive it.
