Ward boundaries and electoral arrangements for Reigate and Banstead Borough Council will undergo a review in 2018.

The independent review will address differences in population, and resident to councillor ratio between wards that have arisen following new developments and a growing population since the last review 20 years ago. The Council’s proposals on future council size recommend reducing the number of councillors from 51 to 45, with each ward being represented by three councillors. This would result in the number of wards reducing from 19 to 15.

The Council’s proposals will be submitted to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England followed by a ten week public consultation.
