BRINGING NETHERNE TOGETHER
Important Update: Reigate & Banstead Community Governance Review
Following our previous communications over the summer and recent documents published by Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, this is a reminder that Netherne is currently proposed to be included in a new “Banstead and the Villages Parish Council.”
You are encouraged to respond to the next stage of the consultation by completing the survey linked below. The deadline to submit your response is 5pm on 16th January 2025:
1. Respond directly to the survey here
2. Learn more about the proposed Banstead and the Villages Parish Council:
3. Learn more about parish councils:
National Association of Local Councils (NALC) website
Some Netherne residents have suggested that, since we are likely to form a ward with Hooley, it may be appropriate to have one parish councillor for each village, as our priorities and needs may not always be aligned. In simple terms, two councillors for the ward instead of one.
Either way, this is your opportunity to have your say at this important stage of the process.
Please see more information in the following PDF which formed the basis of discussion at the NOTHRA AGM on 17 October 2025:
