On 22 June and 2 July 2026, the Epsom and Walton Downs Conservators considered the potential implications of Surrey Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) for the governance and operation of the Conservators under the Epsom and Walton Downs Regulation Act 1984. The Conservators were invited to identify any provisions of the Act, or associated governance arrangements, that may require amendment, clarification or further review to support the transition from Epsom & Ewell Borough Council to East Surrey Council on 1 April 2027.

This report presents the outcome of those considerations and seeks Council's approval of any recommendations proposed by the Conservators before they are submitted to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) for consideration as part of the legislative changes associated with LGR.
