For us, Elmbridge is not one community but a collection of communities within our 5 towns and 8 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 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. Across the borough, 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.
