With the May 7th elections approaching, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the priorities of Surrey's new Unitary Authorities from day one.

That's why Green Elmbridge is supporting the Our Future Surrey Pledge – a campaign asking all candidates to commit to five priorities that address what residents say they need most:

• Cutting energy bills through better insulation and renewable energy

• Making transport more affordable, accessible, and healthy

• Protecting and enhancing nature for everyone

• Building healthy and sustainable communities

• Empowering communities to have genuine influence

These aren't abstract environmental goals but solutions to real problems: congestion, high energy bills, limited access to green spaces, and feeling unheard by decision-makers.

Action for us all: Please contact candidates in your ward and ask them to sign the pledge. Here's a templateemail you can use. You can find your ward and candidates at: https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/

From mid-April, you'll be able to see which candidates have signed at ourfuturesurrey.org.

Let's safeguard Surrey now and for future generations.
