Dorking could become a Parish Council from next week.

Members of Mole Valley District Council attending a meeting on 12th July will decide whether or not to give the green light.

This follows a petition last year requesting a Community Governance Review be undertaken to enable the creation of a Parish Council for Dorking.

However a local advisory poll taken by electors in Dorking North and South back in May show just over 50% of those who took part were against the idea.
