An informational poster titled "Proposed Changes to Adult Social Care Charges in Surrey – HAVE YOUR SAY." The poster announces a public consultation by Surrey County Council on proposed changes to how much adults pay for care at home or in the community. Key proposals include lowering the capital threshold from £24,500 to £23,250—requiring those above this to pay full care costs—and introducing a weekly "tariff income" charge for individuals with savings between £14,250 and £23,250. The consultation runs until Sunday 7 September 2025.
