Epsom & Ewell Times and NESCOT are hosting a public hustings for candidates standing in the forthcoming East Surrey Unitary Council elections. It is taking place on Wednesday 29th April at 7pm at NESCOT (in Theatre 53).
The elections on 7th May 2026 form part of the local government reorganisation across Surrey. It will see the abolition of existing borough and district councils, including Epsom & Ewell Borough Council and the creation of new unitary authorities. The new East Surrey Authority will assume responsibility for a wide range of services currently split between country and borough levels including housing, planning, social care highways and local infrastructure. Decisions taken by the new body will therefore have direct impact on the character, services and finances of Epsom & Ewell.
The hustings offer an opportunity for you to hear directly from candidates in the elections, to understand their priorities, and to challenge them on the issues that matter most to you ahead of polling day.
Councillor Steven McCormick and Councillor Kim Spickett – our two RA Candidates for the new Epsom Town and Downs ward will be in attendance
All residents are encouraged to attend.
