In this issue, we bring you the latest updates on the candidates which have been announced ahead of East Surrey and West Surrey Council elections, which will occur on 7 May. Your vote is really important as it will help determine the future of the new authority. You can also find updates on community initiatives and projects taking shape across the borough - learn more about opportunities to play tennis in Epsom & Ewell and how local community groups and organisations can apply for funds raised by the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and discover what we're doing to combat anti-social behaviour.

Spring is a season of renewal, making it the perfect time to refresh our commitment to greener living and recycling. In this month's edition, find out the new items for your recycling and get hints and tips to 'green your home' and create a healthier environment to help combat climate change.

You’ll also find useful information relating to job vacancies, upcoming events (including Surrey Day - save the date, Saturday 9 May) and opportunities to get involved in your local area. We hope this edition keeps you informed and connected.
