Byfleet Neighbourhood Plan Notice of Referendum published
The Notice of Referendum for the Byfleet Neighbourhood Plan has been published, confirming that a local referendum will take place on Thursday 7 May 2026, alongside the West Surrey Council elections.
Residents who are registered to vote within the Byfleet polling district will be asked to decide whether the Byfleet Neighbourhood Plan should be used to help guide future planning decisions in the Byfleet Neighbourhood Area.
