Elmbridge's successful investment plan bid

We are thrilled with the announcement that Elmbridge has been successful in its investment plan bid to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The £1m investment plan includes plans to support the relaunch of Walton Playhouse, as well as invest in playgrounds across the borough and will help build on what makes the borough special to ensure it continues to thrive and becomes one of the best places to live and work in the country.

Councillors have reinforced their commitment to improving air quality in the borough while also agreeing to act on behalf of the Elmbridge community, to work to improve the implementation of the extension of Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) being introduced in August 2023 by the Mayor of London.
