To help inform the proposals, we surveyed Reigate & Banstead residents between 31 March and 21 April 2025. We received 1,461 responses. For further information see Residents' Survey Report (PDF).
In addition, a joint resident survey - Shaping Surrey’s Future - was coordinated by Surrey districts and borough councils.
The Government then consulted on two options for Surrey closed on 5 August 2025. Reigate & Banstead Borough Council submitted a response: RBBC response to consultation on proposals for Local Government Reorganisation in Surrey (PDF).
The Government published its summary of - and response to - the public consultation here: Proposals for local government reorganisation in Surrey: government response (GOV.UK).
