Today, the villages of Bagshot, Lightwater and Windlesham are represented by a single 'Windlesham Parish Council', with a group of 18 councillors representing a Parish of over 17,000 people. 

80% of parishes in England have populations of less that 2,500 and the average number of councillors is between 5 and 7.  

The current arrangement is even an anomaly within Surrey Heath - the neighbouring Parish Councils of Bisley, Chobham and West End are all 'village-specific'.

The last Review of Parish Arrangements in 2019 was half-hearted and has achieved very little.

• Windlesham is one village - and so all of our residents should be able to vote for and elect councillors for the whole of our village
• Windlesham's 5 Councillors get constantly out-voted and their decisions overturned by the 13 Councillors from Bagshot and Lightwater
• The level of Administration and Bureaucracy of this unusually large Council are mind-blowing - despite a 50%+ increase in Tax Income, projects are still not being delivered and our money is still being wasted on irrelevances.
