"Welcome to Elmbridge,
I hope you enjoy your time in our Borough. Elmbridge is a vibrant community on London's doorstep. |You will find extensive green open spaces to walk on and a number of exciting tourist sites to visit including |Painshill Park, and |Brooklands Museum. In terms of location you can catch a train or join the M25 or A3 and be at the coast or in the heart of London in no time at all.
Elmbridge is also a great place to work. A number of International companies agree, and have their Headquarters in the Borough. There is also much going on. We recently opened our new |£15m leisure complex in Walton which offers state of the art leisure facilities, indoor pool, climbing wall, multi-purpose hall gym, bowls and much more besides. In addition, |Mercedes-Benz World, the Brooklands Community Park and the redevelopment of Walton Town Centre are all now open and worth a visit.
In 2004 Elmbridge Borough Council achieved an |excellent rating, the highest possible, by independent assessors from the Audit Commission. We are building on this success and aim to be one of the best Councils by 2008.
Please |contact us if we can be of help during your time here. Finally if you want to find round the clock information about the Borough do |visit our website.
As a progressive Council we are always keen to do things better and to learn from others. If you have any useful views or comments, please do feel free to share them with us. In the meantime, if we can help you to settle in the borough please do ask."
|Rob Moran, Chief Executive, Elmbridge Borough Council.
