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
