We are a diverse group of independent, free-thinking people from all walks of life. We strongly believe that honesty and integrity is more important than playing politics. A council free from the distractions of Westminster is best placed to serve its community.
On Thursday 7 May, you’ll be able to vote for who represents you on your new West Surrey Council. Make sure you’re ready to have your say.
Surrey’s current county, district and borough councils are set to be replaced by two new unitary councils – East Surrey and West Surrey. Councillors elected in May will initially operate as part of Shadow Authorities, working with existing councils on moving to Surrey’s new local government structure.
The new unitary councils will take over delivering all local government services in your area from 1 April 2027. There will be no changes to the way you receive your existing council services until then.
Visit the Future Surrey website to find out what the changes mean for you and what you need to do to get ready to vote in these important elections.
Residents for Guildford and Villages will be publishing information on events and key items of local news. Please bookmark this site to visit regularly.
