Surrey county council elections 2009
Surrey County Council is elected every four years and was made in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888. Since 1974 all areas have had district/borough councils providing a second tier of services (see the Local Government Act 1972). The county has no grammar schools and gained its first academies and free schools in the 21st century, reducing the number of schools run by the authority. Other major services provided include transport, social services and minerals, and waste planning.
