For us, Elmbridge is not one community but a collection of communities within our five towns, and eight villages. Each vibrant and alive with their own culture and history and each rich with a sense of community. Whether it’s the history of the Brooklands motor racing circuit or the majesty of the Painshill 18th century landscape garden, Elmbridge provides a rich diversity of experiences for residents and visitors.
We can be proud of our sense of community. We look out for each other. We come together. In fact, this is what unites us and makes Elmbridge – Elmbridge - our sense of community.
We care about our countryside, our hundreds of hectares of green spaces, our rivers, as well as our thriving towns and villages. To understand Elmbridge is to understand both our diversity and our sense of community. From Weybridge to Cobham to Claygate and Long Ditton, people come together to establish markets, to plant flowers and trees, to collect litter, to manage theatre groups, to start businesses, to teach, to learn, to laugh. All with the aim of helping Elmbridge thrive.
