Original research at the start

Thank you for the recent addition MRSC. It highlights a contradiction caused by original research. The lead begins: "Surbiton was a local government district...". It may have been colloquially referred to in that way but 'Surbiton was not its corect name, which was the MBS, as is the article's title. This opening sentence needs amending to clarify what we are talking about. Now, your addition that follows is also confusing: "Until 1855, Surbiton was administered as part of the parish..." Is the article still referring to the MBS (presumably not) or has it now switching from the MBS to the town of Surbiton? If so then clarification is yet again needed. The original research involved is the assumption the "Surbiton" always refers to the local govt unit and not the town. I have not yet changed anything. Incidentally, none of this has been referenced.
