Democracy cancelled in Surrey

Following a request from the Conservative Leader of Surrey County Council, the Government agreed to “postpone” the elections to Surrey County Council  due in May 2025. Liberal Democrats strongly opposed this at the time.

Since any elected Councillors in May this year will serve only 11 months, there will not be elections to the current Councils this May. 

The current County Councillors were elected in 2021. Since then the Conservatives have lost ground in District and Borough elections across Surrey and, since the General Election, more than half of Surrey residents now have a Lib Dem MP. 

So it is intensely undemocratic that the Tories, who no longer reflect local opinion, have remained in control for a further 2 years - to continue mismanaging our County and to oversee how our area is governed for decades to come.
