Jonathan Essex, councillor for Redhill East and leader of the Green group on Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, said: "It was very motivating for our local team to have such a high-profile colleague come to help.
"The national party clearly considers East Surrey to be an area that has great potential to win seats on the new unitary council."
The Green Party plans to stand candidates in every seat across the East Surrey unitary area and is targeting gains in towns where it already holds representation.
