The most significant local elections for a generation are taking place in Surrey next month as as voters head to the polls on Thursday May 7 to decide how the new look councils will be formed.
For the first time since the 1970s, local government is undergoing huge changes to how services are delivered. Instead of a single county council with 11 boroughs and districts sitting underneath it – Surrey will be merged and split into two mega authorities, to be called East and West Surrey.
While those living in Elmbridge, Epsom & Ewell, Mole Valley, Reigate & Banstead, and Tandridge will do the same for East Surrey.
The seats mirror the existing divisions at Surrey County Council, but will have two councillors representing each area.
Counting will take place at the existing boroughs with the results sent through to central hubs in Runnymede for West Surrey and Reigate for East Surrey.
Results are expected to be announced on May 8.
Elmbridge: 18 councillors across nine divisions
Epsom & Ewell: 10 councillors, five divisions
Guildford: 18 councillors, nine divisions
Mole Valley: 12 councillors, six divisions
Reigate & Banstead: 20 councillors, 10 divisions
Runnymede: 12 councillors, six divisions
Spelthorne: 14 councillors, seven divisions
Surrey Heath: 12 councillors, six divisions
Tandridge: 12 councillors, six divisions
Waverley: 18 councillors, nine divisions
