Epsom & Ewell Borough Council voted to proceed to the second stage of its community governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have launched a second consultation which will run until 1 February 2026.It asks residents to let them know if they want two new community councils – Epsom Community Council and Ewell Community Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If created two councils would be funded through an additional council tax charge known as a pre-cept estimated at \u00a343.52-$46.15 per year for a Band D property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially the Councils would be responsible for allotments and would be statutory consultees on planning matters. 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

More details are available here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can respond to the consultation here. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
