What’s next for the new East and West Surrey councillors? The newly elected councillors are not yet responsible for running council services. Their sole focus is preparing the new East and West councils to take over on 1 April 2027. This is an essential task to make sure that services continue without disruption during the transition. To reflect this, the newly elected councillors will be called 'shadow councillors' for the next year. Shadow councillors will become full councillors and take on responsibility for all local services from 1 April 2027. What happens to my existing councillors? Your existing county, district and borough councillors remain responsible for all council services until 1 April 2027. They will still be your contact for any questions you have about council services. Who should I contact? If your enquiry is about a day to day council service, or if you need help with a service issue, you should continue to contact your existing county, district or borough council or councillor, just as you do now. You can find their details on your local council’s website. If your question is about local government reorganisation, or about how the new East and West Surrey councils are being set up, you can contact your shadow councillor(s). You will soon be able to find their details on the Future Surrey website. Find out more about what’s happening over the next year, in the run up to the new councillors taking over from 1 April 2027 through the link in our bio.
