Discover the New Esher Experience Website for Local Events

Retailers in Esher have recently voted to set up a Business Improvement District (BID) in the town to promote it. The BID involves a small increase to the retailers business rates, with the extra funding then being invested into improving the town.

As part of the BID, a new Esher Experience website has been created. This includes information about retailers in Esher as well as a What’s On tab that details upcoming events. You can also subscribe to receive the information by email.

Please check out the Esher Experience via https://experienceesher.com/

You can also find out more about the BID process on https://www.esherbid.co.uk/

Cllr Simon Waugh has served Esher for 14 years. Since he's running for election this May, someone takes the educated decision to deface his front gates. Who is behind this? Should you have any evidence (two people wearing balaclavas on an electric scooter, 11 pm last night) please let Surrey Police know.

This is not the first time a candidate has suffered this kind of disgraceful treatment. Our sympathies go out to Simon and his family.

Wonder what the driving force behind our two candidates is? Do watch this. All parties claim that they will protect the Green Belt, but they don't when it comes to the Planning Committee. Hersham candidate Simon Leifer and Esher, Claygate and N Oxshott candidate Simon Waugh know its value and believe it's worth fighting for.

Elections 2026 - Meet Your Local Candidates: Simon Waugh and Simon Leifer
The local elections for the new unitary council of East Surrey are taking place next month on 7 May. This will replace the current Surrey County Council and Elmbridge Borough Council.

Local democracy has never been under such threat as it is now with less representation for residents and greater power being taken by Westminster. The importance of independent and resident associations candidates cannot be overstated. These are people who really care about the areas they represent and do not have to follow national party political edicts.

Simon Waugh and Simon Leifer are standing respectively as independents, endorsed by the Esher Residents Association and other Elmbridge Residents Associations, for the new wards of:
- Esher, Claygate and North - Simon Waugh
- Hersham / Simon Leifer

Very soon, these little beauties will be appearing in Hersham. We are backing Cllr Simon Leifer who is standing as an independent candidate for the new Hersham Ward of the new East Surrey Council. He's been working hard in Hersham during his year as a councillor, fighting both the Golf Club application and playing a significant role in stopping the hated development of the shopping centre.

Vote for him if you want to protect our Green Belt. Some candidates say they will protect the Green Belt, but at Council meetings, they don't. ERA has never voted for building on Green Belt land.
