The Leader of the Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has confirmed he will retire from the Council this May.

Cllr Mark Brunt Brunt has served as a Conservative councillor for Merstham since 2004.

Cllr Brunt will continue as Leader of the Council and a councillor until the next local elections.

A new council Leader will be appointed, as voted for by all councillors, at the Annual Council later that month.
