District Council Ward structure in Ashtead
Ashtead currently has six Council seats, among 39 at Mole Valley District Council (MVDC). All six seats are occupied by Ashtead Independents.

The six seats are spread across two wards - Ashtead Park and Ashtead Lanes & Common - each ward having three seats each.

The three district wards together form the Ashtead Division for Surrey County Council to which one councillor is elected.
