Guildford Borough Manifesto

Governance and accountability

End the dictatorial Executive form of governance and return to collective decision-making
Introduce a committee system immediately on an interim (“hybrid”) basis and formally as soon as legally possible
Give power back to parish councils and local residents by seeking and respecting their views
Bring in stricter codes of conduct for councillors and council employees based on best-practice standards of transparency, integrity and ethics, including a whistle-blowers’ charter
Ensure local government offers transparency in decision making and accountability
Remove the party whip from any GGG councillor who has brought the party into disrepute
