 Local Taxation

How do you think local services should be paid for? Do you support?

The Liberal Democrat idea of putting up income tax by 5% (Average Surrey Heath Household Bill: £2,237)

The Labour idea of charging people according to increases in house prices (0.63% of market value) - (Average Surrey Heath Household Bill: £1,941)

The Conservative principle that Council Tax rises should be kept below increases in wages. (Average Surrey Heath Household Bill: £1,410)

With the cost of living factored in, real household income is much higher in Northern Britain. Under Labour and Liberal local tax proposals you would pay double that of some northern boroughs, yet have much less to spend per person on services. Is this fair?

No

Yes

The number of offenders given cautions instead of sentences has risen dramatically. In 2005, 55% of people charged with violent offences received a caution. Which statement do you agree with the most?

A Police caution is a good deterrent that prevents serious criminals re-offending and helps sort out the lack of prison capacity.

A criminal receiving caution is an insult to the victim and allows serious criminals to get away with their crimes.

The average policeman now spends over half his day doing paperwork. Which of the following statements do you agree with most?

Labour’s introduction of over 3,000 new offences and the associated paperwork and procedures is a good way to create law & order.

We have enough laws in this country, we just need to free the police from red tape and let them get on with the job.

Drink-related problems

Local Conservatives are campaigning to preserve gardens and provide family homes in our neighbourhood. The Government wants to see more building on domestic gardens. Do you believe?

We should protect existing gardens and ensure family homes are there for the next generation.

Gardens should be built on to deal with our housing problems.

 Local Economy

Do you work within 5 miles of your home?

Yes

No - I work somewhere else

I am retired/do not work

There is a lot of office space in our area that has been empty for a long time. Which statement do you agree with most?

The offices should be left empty and eventually somebody will be found to let them.

The Council should seek to change the planning arrangements to allow empty offices to be converted into quality homes.

 Schools

Conservatives believe schools should have more setting and streaming so pupils are taught in ability groups. Do you believe?

Pupils should be streamed by ability more often.

There should be more mixed ability teaching.

Conservatives believe that to improve school discipline teachers should have more freedom from bureaucracy so they can exclude disruptive pupils. Do you believe?

It should be easier for heads to exclude disruptive pupils.

The current system is about right.

 Local Farmers Market

Conservative Borough Councillors have supported a Farmers Market in Camberley High Street. Tick the following that apply?

I would be more likely to visit Camberley if there were a Farmers Market.

I would try to avoid Camberley if there were a Farmers Market.

I would be more likely to visit the shops on the High Street if there was a Farmers Market.

Closing the road to traffic would make the Farmers Market safer and more appealing.
