Dear Resident,

 

During the summer, we asked for your views on potential changes to the borough’s existing parish and town councils, including options to amend current arrangements or create new ones, as part of a Community Governance Review (CGR). You are receiving this email because you told us you wished to be contacted again for the second stage of consultation. 

Your feedback has helped shape a set of draft recommendations, which we are now consulting on:

  • Horley Town Council: Increase the number of councillors from 18 to 19 and amend ward boundaries

  • Salfords, Sidlow and South Earlswood Parish Council: Expand the existing parish to include South Earlswood and Whitebushes

  • Banstead and The Villages Council: Create a new parish covering most of the north of the borough, except Merstham

  • Redhill and Reigate Town Council: Although the recommendation is for a single town council, we're interested to hear whether local people would prefer one, two, or none for this area

How to have your say
A public consultation survey is now open and local people are encouraged to have their say by completing a survey online. Leaflets and paper copies of the survey are also being sent to all households.

To learn more about the draft recommendations, including maps, electorate information, and councillor details, and to access the survey, please visit the Council’s Community Governance Review web pages.

 

The consultation closes at 5 pm on 16 January 2026.

 

We look forward to receiving your comments.

Yours sincerely,

Reigate & Banstead Borough Council

Town Hall, Castlefield Road, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 0SH
