As we enter the fourth and final year of our Vision, our commitment to Elmbridge residents remains unwavering. Our priority, as ever, is to deliver
meaningful benefits for our community, supporting those who need it most and helping our borough thrive.
Looking ahead, the landscape of local government in Surrey is evolving. Elmbridge is coming together with Epsom and Ewell, Mole Valley, Reigate
and Banstead, Tandridge and half of Surrey County Council to form a single organisation - East Surrey Council. From 1 April 2027, this new council will unite the services you rely on, from education and children’s services to waste collection, housing and leisure.
While this transition progresses, our focus for this final year is unequivocal. We will continue to invest directly in our community, strengthening support
for our most vulnerable residents, improving the everyday experiences of all who live and work here, and helping ensure our borough prospers.
This moment of transition calls for responsible stewardship. Supported by 50 years of prudent financial management at Elmbridge Borough Council, we are well positioned to invest confidently in our services and infrastructure while preparing for the establishment of East Surrey Council. Our close partnership with Surrey County Council continues to ensure joined up delivery and shared ambition.
Central to this shared ambition are the people we serve. Elmbridge residents play a vital role in making this borough an exceptional place to live, work and visit. Your engagement and involvement strengthens the work we do across the borough and shapes our priorities.
This final year of the Elmbridge Vision is an important milestone, and we will use our long-standing commitment and determination to deliver on our goals while laying the groundwork for the opportunities ahead.
