About Us

WELCOME   to the United Kingdom Independence Party Surrey Heath website, specializing in news and events relevant to the Surrey Heath constituency.

Surrey Heath was until recently part of the North West Surrey Branch, together with Woking, but due to branch growth, we have now formed a separate constituency association. Woking has a separate website here.   The UK Independence Party is committed to withdrawing Britain from the European Union, and we realise the people of Surrey Heath will be much better off without EU interference.

We believe that Britain should be an independent self-governing nation and not part of a European Federal Superstate. The traditional political parties in Britain have for years lied and exaggerated the benefits of EU membership, but UKIP now exposes the true facts to the electorate.  

We welcome support from people who believe in british parliamentary democracy. We are campaigning not just to get control of our country back from Brussels, but in the process, to bring about more local democracy, fairness, and the chance for ordinary people to choose, rather than just be told by unelected bureaucrats. The party has a full compliment of domestic and international policies, covering all the main issues that affect Britain today.


In addition we have local policies that we contend will make the Surrey Heath area a better place to live, work and enjoy.   Come, join us and help us make a difference!

Reasons to vote UKIP

• History tells us that Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Labour parties cannot be trusted by the electorate to act in Britain's interests. Despite the Conservative tough talk on the Lisbon Treaty over the past year, they have now (Nov 2009) announced that they will abandon their "cast iron" pledge given to the electorate, for a referendum and move to further support the EU ambitions, including fuelling greater free movement and immigration into the UK. This will inevitably lead to greater social and economic hardships for the country. Labour and Lib Dems have long since abandoned any pretence of listening to the electorate's wishes. UKIP is the only major party standing firm in support of the UK electorate.
• The process of UKIP representation maintains a UK defence against the worst EU excesses which seriously damage our country. Tory, Lib Dem and Labour cannot be trusted to support Britain's cause. UKIP exposes the truth, reports back to you and protects the UK's interests.
• Your UKIP vote will send a clear message to the other political parties, that ignoring the electorate's wishes on 'Lisbon' will not go unnoticed and that greater independence from the EU's grip is desirable for the social, economic, cultural, environmental and political future well-being of the UK.

Recent Events

The NW Surrey branch held its AGM on Thursday 18th February, in Chobham. Members received reports from branch officers, voted for a new committee and for the formation of two new constituency associations - Woking and Surrey Heath.   Speakers included prospective parliamentary candidates, Mark Stroud (Surrey Heath) and Rob Burberry (Woking).   Gerard Batten (London MEP) and Steve Harris (SE Regional Organiser) also spoke.

Surrey Heath UKIP member Jo Bateman held a very successful coffee morning on Friday 5th February. Members and friends were able to speak with Mark Stroud, UKIP PPC for Surrey Heath , and Nigel Farage MEP, who was also in attendance. Members from the North West Surrey branch, their friends, including a number from outside the branch filled the house to hear about UKIP locally. Funds raised from this event go towards the general election campaign locally. Pictures to follow shortly!

The branch held a pre-christmas social in Chobham on Wednesday November 25th, with an opportunity to recognise the work of Sonya Porter for UKIP over many years.

Other Events From Last Year

The branch was represented at the Pyrford & Wisley Flower Show this year on 11th July. It was an opportunity to share information on UKIP and raise funds, through a tombola.
The branch held its annual summer garden party in the Windlesham area this year, and as a geographically more central location for the branch than for previous years, it brought in about 45 members. This event was held on 26 July. It was good to see many members attending.
