The West Surrey Shadow Authority is a temporary body established to manage the transition to the new West Surrey Council, operating between May 2026 and April 2027. Its primary role is to prepare the new council for its formal start by agreeing its structure, appointing senior officers, setting up governance, approving budgets and constitutions, and determining operational procedures. This preparatory work ensures a smooth transfer of services from existing councils to the new West Surrey Council, preventing disruption for residents. The shadow authority does not run services or make day-to-day decisions during this period.
