urrey
is broken down into eleven administrative areas called Boroughs or
Districts within the County Boundary itself. Surprisingly the
Headquarters of Surrey County Council is in Kingston, outside the
County, but within the older Surrey postal district which extends
into now what is part of Greater London.
Local Authority administration forms the basis of responsibility for such
things as State schools, Council Housing, Highways Policies and
Maintenance, Recreational Facilities, Social Services and Refuse
Collection etc. Council Tax is therefore collected by the
Local Authorities to fund such expenditure.
