In January 2026, the UK government announced new, improved legal powers for local authorities in England to tackle pavement parking. Rather than a nationwide ban, councils will receive authority to prohibit parking on pavements across wider areas, moving away from slow, street-by-street restrictions. This enables quicker enforcement against unnecessary obstruction of the pavement.

We had a very productive end of the year with many projects completed ahead of 2026.

Local Government Reorganisation in Surrey – Key Points
The government has now confirmed that Surrey will move to two new unitary councils — East Surrey and West Surrey — from April 2027. This is hardly a big surprise, and not the three unitary authorities that Tandridge and most of the districts (all except for Elmbridge and Mole Valley) were hoping for, and which we believe would have better represented our interests, geography and local cultural and business links, but the deal is done, so we can at least now move forward with the reorganisation process.
