Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

We can provide guidance and technical help through the neighbourhood planning process. Contact customer services (opens new window) or call 01483 505050. 

In areas with parish councils, the parish council must lead on neighbourhood planning. In areas without parish councils, local people must apply to the council to designate a 'neighbourhood forum'.
