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 with larger councils, which handle all local services.  

Although this may be unsettling for anyone considering a role with us, this process will take a number of years and during that time we still need to provide services.  

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