Results

The Conservatives lost one seat to the Liberal Democrats, with Mount Hermon councillor Mark Pengelly losing to Liam Lyons, who had been defeated by Pengelly two years earlier. The Conservatives also failed to win their target seats of Byfleet and St John's, and came within 10 votes of losing in Goldsworth Park, although they held seats in Horsell, Knaphill, Heathlands and Pyrford with large majorities.
The result meant that the Tory majority on the council reduced from two to one, although the Conservatives still maintained control as they have done since 2007, counting a short period of minority administration. Despite polling 3.2% in the full-council elections in 2016, the Green Party did not field candidates.
