Surrey has a very strong economy. The county is a net contributor to the Exchequer, with a tax income of £6.12 million per year. In addition, Surrey has a GVA of £26 billion – larger than any area other than London. It is not surprising that the South East in general and Surrey in particular have been called the engine room of the UK economy. Our excellent location and strong road and rail network have helped to make Surrey a prime location for national and international businesses. A third of the M25 runs through the county. Surrey residents and businesses can enjoy the county’s unparalleled environment and still be within an easy commute of London, Heathrow and Gatwick. We have more than 80 rail stations in the county. Surrey is both an excellent place to live and to locate a business. But these advantages have also brought problems. Surrey’s roads are heavily used with more than twice the national average traffic flows. Much of the road network is saturated which means that a traffic incident can cause chronic congestion as drivers look for alternative routes.
