A new brand for communicating jointly about LGR has been launched – Future Surrey. This has been developed jointly by the 12 councils – updates will be provided to residents and other service uses via the website (Future Surrey – Surrey LGR Hub), post, social media, existing council newsletters and other channels. Regular joint staff communications are now also up and running.
Surrey wide staff newsletter The cross Surrey LGR programme team has developed a newsletter that will be sent to all staff to ensure all colleagues across the 12 councils receive the same information. The first edition provided a little more insight around the structure of the programme and the implementation team. The next newsletter is due out shortly. Printable versions of these newsletters will be available on our LGR hub on the Knowledge, and will be emailed to managers of offline teams.
The officer Implementation Team has now been formally established. The team is structured around a series of themes and workstreams. Following theme sponsor names being confirmed earlier in the year, workstream responsibilities have now been agreed.
We will get more information about what the workstreams will be doing and input needed from Reigate & Banstead in the coming days and weeks, and will share this with all staff as we find out more.
All the latest LGR updates are available on our LGR Hub on the Knowledge. If you or your team have any questions about LGR please email yourLGRquestions@reigate-banstead.gov.uk. The next LGR Q&A with Mari and the Leader is on Monday 9 March with sessions at the Depot also planned.
