How Does This Affect Windlesham Parish Council (WPC)?

As part of the CGRSHBC will be reviewing the warding arrangements in Windlesham village, with a view to abolishing the Windlesham (North) and Windlesham (South) wards and replacing them with a single ward. Consideration will also be given to altering the number of councillors representing each parish ward. Residents are also being asked if they would support changes to the current parish boundaries, such as splitting the existing parish or merging with other parishes.

Background Information

In March 2024, SHBC received a formal request to conduct a CGR, specifically proposing the removal of Windlesham village from the existing parish structure. In response, SHBC launched a survey in August 2024 to assess public opinion. Of the 13,807 electorate across the Parish, 410 residents responded, with 275 expressing support for the reorganisation of WPC. However, in February 2025, SHBC resolved to defer any final decision on proceeding with a full CGR, due to the rapidly evolving local government landscape and the potential implications of the anticipated Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) across Surrey.
