East Surrey local election

Ewell Village, Stoneleigh & Nonsuch ward

This election will be held on Thursday 7 May 2026.

  • This is an election for unitary councillors.

    Councillors represent the people of their ward on the council. Councillors are elected for four-year terms. All Surrey wards elect two councillors, which is why you have two votes.

    Unitary councils are responsible for many different services, including:

    • Child and adult social care
    • Schools and education
    • Rubbish collection and recycling
    • Housing and planning
    • Libraries and museums
    • Roads and pavements
    • Sports facilities and public parks

    Councils are funded by a combination of council tax, business rates, and grants from the UK government. Councillors are not paid a salary, but they do receive financial compensation and expenses to cover their time and travel commitments.

You will have two votes, and can choose from 12 candidates.
