Accountability

If politicians don’t work for taxpayers, then who do they work for?

  • Surrey residents should be welcomed at city hall, not banned.
  • Public questions at city council meetings should be part of every meeting.
  • Big decisions should be made in public, not behind closed doors.

Transparency

It’s your money and your city.

  • Take a good look at your taxes, are they up by the 2.9% promised by Doug McCallum, or are they higher?
  • Surrey needs an independent Auditor General to keep an eye on spending, programs, and efficiency at city hall, just like every other big city in Canada.
  • City Hall has never been more disconnected from Surrey residents, and never been more secretive, just the way Doug McCallum likes it.

Economy

It’s time to work where we live.

  • We need a stronger local economy, with good jobs closer to home, and less time commuting to other cities.
  • In Surrey we spend twice as much time in our cars as Vancouverites, we need more and better transit, particularly north-south.
  • Surrey should be an “opportunity city” for residents, families and businesses, where a competent city council plays its part to support a healthy environment, livability, innovation, and housing affordability.

Public Safety

Surrey voters must have the final say about who polices our city.

  • Surrey has not hired a single new officer in four years and the Surrey Police Service is more than a year behind schedule with a ballooning budget.
  • Unchecked police transition costs have syphoned off money that should have gone to pools, parks, rinks and community centres.
  • Surrey First called for a policing referendum in the last election, and we’re committed to giving Surrey voters their say on who polices our city.
