They could take on responsibility for more services in the future if the new Unitary Council agrees.  This could include parks, playgrounds and community centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More details are available <a href=\"https:\/\/fdhl4.r.ag.d.sendibm3.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeG7uhUYCePCrI2eaWiuu\/wsN_FeZRlU-y\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can respond to the consultation <a href=\"https:\/\/eebc.inconsult.uk\/CGRproposal\/consultationHome\">here. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Epsom and Ewell Times\u2019s report on the Council\u2019s debate and voting is <a href=\"https:\/\/fdhl4.r.ag.d.sendibm3.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGSV3v14BtfJZWYoRcfg\/CgGAOlAp0k6U\">here<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have your say on proposal for two community councils funded by an additional council tax charge &#8230;&#8230;.. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodcoteepsomresidentssociety.org\/index.php\/2025\/12\/20\/have-your-say\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-update"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Have your say - Woodcote (Epsom) Residents Society<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.woodcoteepsomresidentssociety.org\/index.php\/2025\/12\/20\/have-your-say\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Have your say - Woodcote (Epsom) Residents Society\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Have your say on proposal for two community councils funded by an additional council tax charge ........
