Have Your Say on the Future of Local Government in Surrey

The Government has launched a public consultation on potential changes to how local government is structured in Surrey.

As part of the proposed reorganisation, Surrey could move towards creating two new unitary councils to replace the current borough and county system — a change that would directly impact how services are delivered in Elmbridge and across the county.

Cllr Mike Rollings, Leader of Elmbridge Borough Council, said:

“Creating two unitary councils in Surrey will support the long-term financial sustainability of local government and deliver better value for our residents.

Throughout this process, I’ve been clear that accountability and engagement with our communities are essential. Now, as we move forward with local government reorganisation, residents, businesses and community partners can have their say through the government consultation and together we can move towards a stronger future for Surrey.”

This is your opportunity to shape the future of local services — from planning and waste collection to social care and education.
