 Have your say: Vision and priorities survey
Elmbridge is currently setting its vision and priorities for 2030 and is inviting all residents, local businesses and partners to have their say on what is important to them by completing a short survey.
The vision sets out Elmbridge’s aims for the borough and the future direction. The priorities will show how Elmbridge will deliver the vision for the organisation and help develop services.

 COVID-19 hasn't gone away
In recent weeks there has been a rise in cases in the south east.
As you enjoy summer, please remember that Covid is still here and it’s important we all continue to practise the key safety behaviours to protect ourselves and the most vulnerable.
 Grovelands gets growing with a new grant
Thank you to everyone who has been taking part in the waste reduction scheme, Rethink Waste, and donating their points to local schools. Eleven Elmbridge schools took part in the first round of the schools donations scheme, each working hard to earn points that have now been converted into a share of the funding towards their chosen eco-projects.
Grovelands Primay School in Walton-on-Thames topped the leader board for points and received the largest grant worth £846.88. They will be using the grant to fund the development of an outdoor area at the school to help the children learn about the environment and sustainability.
Rethink Waste is now running a second phase of the schools competition, with a further five Elmbridge schools taking part.
