What is Section 24 and why does it matter?

Section 24 is a statutory direction set by central government to help all Surrey councils make major financial decisions during local government reorganisation.

Under Section 24, most councils cannot make big financial decisions on their own and must seek approval from the Shadow Authorities, elected in May 2026.

This will help the new councils start in the strongest financial position possible on 1 April 2027.

Shadow Authorities have also agreed to give ‘General Consent’. This allows councils to continue with normal service provision and approved projects from their 2026/27 budgets, so you can access services without interruption.

Section 24 comes into force later this summer. It does not apply to Woking Borough Council and Spelthorne Borough Council as there are already existing commissioning arrangements for best value.

Dear All,

I have already had a meeting with the company to get more info about the highways impacts, access to the SANGS, green infrastructure networks etc.

This has now been looming in the background since 2019 and due to the changes in the NPPF, these are starting to gain traction.

I would suggest everyone attends this event.

Regards

Cllr Carl Mann

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service has been working with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on future governance arrangements following Local Government Reorganisation.

The current direction is to establish a Combined Fire and Rescue Authority (CFRA) for Surrey, pending a Government consultation. The intention is for the CFRA to begin as of 1 April 2027 (known as Vesting Day).

A Combined Fire and Rescue Authority is essentially a 'standalone' fire and rescue service which is governed by elected councillors - from the unitary council elections that recently took place.

We are working through this as a service and will continue to keep you updated. You will not see any difference: if you need us in an emergency or contact us for support, we will be there.
