Local elections 2024: The full list of Mole Valley District Council candidates

The borough returns to its traditional system of voting for one third of the district at a time after a boundary review last year put every seat up for grabs.

Mole Valley, home to Box Hill, Leith Hill, Polesden Lacey and Denbies Wine Estate, has 39 councillors representing 13 wards with the Liberal Democrats holding 29, the informal Independents six, Conservatives three and one vacant.

The Lib Dems, who took control of the council in 2019 will be defending 10 seats which means they will still be the largest party after the elections, regardless of the result.
