 Residents invited to help shape community services in Elmbridge
We are embarking on the next stage of our community services engagement programme in February with a set of interactive workshops where you can share your ideas to help shape a brighter future for Elmbridge.
As a resident, your ideas will directly inform what we do next to support people and communities, and create an even better, more inclusive support system.
You can join us at one of the following interactive workshops:
- Thursday 13 February, 5pm to 7pm at St John’s Church, Walton-on-Thames
- Saturday 15 February, 10:30am to 12:30pm at Cobham Village Hall
- Tuesday 25 February, 5pm to 7pm at Ember Sports Club, Esher
- Thursday 27 February, 6pm to 7.30pm online
 Join us for Clean Air Night on Wednesday 22 January
Air pollution affects everyone and is estimated to shorten the lives of many in the UK. In particular, it impacts the most vulnerable, including children, older adults, and those with heart and lung conditions. Together, we can make a difference by raising awareness of the factors that contribute to air pollution and taking steps to improve air quality.
Join us for Clean Air Night, part of a campaign to reduce pollution, led by the Environment Centre and Global Action Plan. This initiative aims to dispel myths about wood burning and highlight its impact on public health.
 Waste collection dates calendar 2025
Starting this year, we're taking steps to reduce our environmental footprint by moving our waste collection calendar online. As a result, printed guides will no longer be available for residents.
Instead, you can check your bin collection day on our website with a simple postcode search. You will also see a copy of your waste collection calendar should you want to print off at home.
 Give a gift to local schools with Rethink Waste
Sign up to Rethink Waste and win points for completing fun and easy online activities that help you reduce waste. You can then donate your points to one of four participating schools in Elmbridge. The two schools with the most points will take home a share of £1,000 that they will use to fund an environmental project.
The schools in Elmbridge taking part are:
- Ashley CofE Primary School, Walton-on-Thames
- Cleves School, Weybridge
- St Alban's Catholic Primary School, Molesey
- St James CofE Primary School, Weybridge
 Leaders community engagement meetings
We are pleased to invite all residents to a series of community engagement meetings hosted by the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council.
These meetings aim to inform residents about the critical issues affecting the borough, including the Local Plan, financial outlook, local government reform, as well as addressing specific concerns impacting individual towns and villages.
The events will take place at the Elmbridge Centres for the Community between the end of January and March. The first meeting will be on Tuesday 28 January from 7pm to 8:30pm at Cobham Centre for the Community.
Registration for the events is now open. You can sign up to attend an event and to submit a question in advance.
