The county council elections are approaching in May 2025 where all 81 seats on Surrey County Council will be contested. Each seat is represented by a County Councillor, could one of these be you?

Your commitment to public service and your willingness to tackle complex issues head-on will be invaluable in driving positive change for Surrey.
