The West Surrey
Voluntary Joint Committee is a governance body created as part of
the Local Government Reorganisation process in Surrey. The Committee was established voluntarily by
Surrey County Council and the six borough and district councils
which form the West Surrey area – Woking, Guildford,
Waverley, Surrey Heath, Spelthorne, and Runnymede – under
Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972.
The Committee
acts as a shadow governance structure ahead of the formal
Structural Changes Order, which is expected to come into force in
March 2026.
