The 2023 Reigate and Banstead Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Reigate and Banstead Borough Council in Surrey, England.[2] This was on the same day as other local elections in England.
The council was under Conservative majority control prior to the election. The leader of the council, Mark Brunt, chose not to stand for re-election.[3]
The Conservatives retained their majority at the election, but lost seats to both the Greens and Labour. They were left with a majority of just one seat.[4] Conservative councillor Richard Biggs was appointed the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 25 May 2023.[5]
