The Voice, an Indo-Canadian publication, recently had an interview with Councillor Bob Bose about the major issues and challenges in Surrey. Bose took issue with Mayor Watts, saying she isn’t confronting these problems:
- RCMP Credibility and Crime Issues
- Ward System Viability and Electoral Reform
- Poor Growth Management
- Poor Public Consultation on the Budget
- Inadequate Staff
- No Bylaw Enforcement
- Secondary Suites
So I’ll put it out to you: are these issues you care about – that you think the City isn’t doing enough about? What are Surrey’s major challenges and priorities? You can vote for as many as you like and feel free to elaborate in the comments.

Secondary suites are a major problem and should, I think, have been on the poll. Many homes have far more people in them, using far more resources, water, sewage, garbage, parking, than they are paying for. It also changes the whole feel of a neighbourhood and not in a good way!
