The 2024 Tandridge District Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom held on the same day. All 43 members of Tandridge District Council in Surrey were elected following boundary changes. The local residents' association (composed of independent councillors and Oxted and Limpsfield Residents Group councillors) managed to increase their seat count, but fell two seats short of gaining majority control of the council. [1]

Background

Tandridge was a historically Conservative council. The Conservatives held a majority on the council until 1990, when the Liberal Democrats became the largest party. [2] They briefly retook the council in 1994, before losing it to no overall control again in 1995. The Conservatives formed a majority administration in 2000, which lasted until 2019. [3]

Following the previous election, independents had a total of 14 seats (up 2), the Liberal Democrats had 11, the Conservatives had 9 (down 2), and the Oxted and Limpsfield Residents Group had 8. The Oxted and Limpsfield Residents Group and 10 independents run the council as a minority administration. [4]

Boundary changes

Tandridge usually elects its councillors in thirds, on a 4-year cycle. However, following boundary changes, all councillors will be elected to the new wards. [5] The change increases the number of councillors by 1.
