Councillors are elected for four years, usually in May with elections for seats staggered across the period.
The District Ward structure in Ashtead
-
Ashtead has been allocated seven council seats, among 41 at Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) for its elected Members.
-
The seven seats are spread across three wards - Ashtead Park, Ashtead Common and Ashtead Village.
-
The three district wards together form the Ashtead Division for Surrey County Council to which one councillor is elected.
-
Geographically, Ashtead Park, lies to the South of Epsom Road and Ottways Lane, Ashtead Common, to the North of Craddocks Avenue and Barnett Wood Lane, and Ashtead Village, between the other two.
-
Park and Common both have two seats allocated to them, while Village – the largest of the three - has three seats.
-
Councillors are elected for four years, usually in May with elections for seats staggered across the period.
-
In one year, an election is held only for the Surrey County Council seat. The following year there are elections for one District Councillor in each ward. In the third year, there is an election in Village Ward only, and in the fourth all District wards again.
