New legislation on pavement parking coming
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.

Limpsfield Parish Council – February Update
We had a very productive end of the year with many projects completed ahead of 2026.

Two Unitary Councils Confirmed for Surrey: East & West Surrey
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.

Devolution in Surrey and how this may (or may not) affect the Parish Council
The UK government’s recent devolution proposals aim to restructure local governance in England by replacing the existing two-tier system of county and district councils with larger unitary authorities, each serving populations of at least 500,000 residents.
In Surrey, this means that the current county council and its 11 district and borough councils, including Tandridge District Council, are slated for abolition and consolidation into one or more unitary authorities – the most likely scenario is believed to be two unitary authorities.
