Local government reorganisation 

Surrey is part of the government’s plans for local government reorganisation. This means the current two tier system, where services are split between Surrey County Council and district and borough councils like Tandridge, will be replaced by two larger councils (East and West Surrey), which will deliver all local services.  

Although this may lead to some uncertainty for anyone considering a role with us, we need to continue to provide services.  

When local government is reorganised, most staff will transfer to the new council on their current terms and conditions. Being part of a larger organisation may offer additional opportunities for career development and variety. The majority of the roles we currently have will still be needed whether that is for planning, housing, recycling and waste, finance, IT, HR etc.
