Include South Middlesex in the new West Surrey County name

South Middlesex has a long-standing cultural and historical identity distinct from Surrey and identifying the county as “West Surrey & South Middlesex” acknowledges that heritage. A dual name supports alignment despite boundary reorganisation to 'preserve legacy' and prevent erasure of an area steeped in tradition and local history that government would do well not to ignore Including South Middlesex follows 'established practice' for newly formed authorities with diverse historical identities.
