Local government reorganisation in Surrey

On 28 October 2025, the Government announced that by May 2027, all current county, district, and borough councils in Surrey will be replaced by two new unitary authorities, East Surrey and West Surrey, who will be responsible for all local services.

Over the coming months our priority is the continued delivery of high-quality local services without interruption.

We will continue to work collaboratively with neighbouring authorities and government bodies throughout the reorganisation process to make sure all residents continue to receive the services they depend upon.

To find out more about local government reorganisation in Surrey, take a look at the Surrey LGR hub: Surrey Local Government Reorganisation Hub – Surrey LGR Hub 

We will share any updates in our email newsletter, on social media and on the LGR hub.
