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).

Prioritising applications

Priority bands

We use a priority bands scheme to classify an applicant's circumstances and their connection to Guildford.

The priority bands range from A - E. Band A is the highest priority.

The higher an applicant's priority banding, the better chance they have of moving quickly. When an application is awarded a high priority banding, it does not necessarily mean that an applicant will be rehoused immediately.

You must have a substantial or long lasting connection to someone in living in the area to qualify for priority bands A and B.
