Waverley Borough Council has 50 seats, representing local people in 24 wards that make up the Borough.
Councillors are elected by the community to decide how the council should carry out its various activities. They represent the wider public interest as well as individuals living within the ward in which they have been elected to serve.
Each councillor is elected for a four year term. The most recent elections took place on 4 May 2023. The next Waverley Borough Council elections will take place in 2027.
Councillors have regular contact with the general public through council meetings, telephone calls or surgeries.
Forty-six borough councillors are members of a political party registered with the Electoral Commission; three are Independent. There is one vacancy (August 2024). They are currently divided as follows:
Conservative | 10 |
