We've manually set advice for this ward. Having considered the candidates who are running this time, this advice is primarily based on the strength of the local parties’ underlying local strength and the visible intensity of their campaigns in this by-election. This is because, although the last time this ward was fought - in the 2023 council elections, the seat was won by two Greens and an independent, there were no Reform or Lib Dem candidates standing. Since then the Lib Dems have made significant progress in this part of Surrey, becoming the leading party and in June beat Reform in a by-election in nearby Ashford Town on the same council, having not stood previously.

Green won the last election

Independent came 2nd
