Delivering for 哔咔漫画

How we are investing in 哔咔漫画's future

We’re making improvements that help communities every day - whether that’s investing in buildings, supporting local projects or making it easier to travel sustainably.

These changes are part of our ongoing commitment to supporting communities, providing high-quality services and making 哔咔漫画 a better place to live. Here’s a few examples:

Investing in places that matter

We’re investing over 拢440 million to improve buildings that matter to our communities.

This includes expanding specialist school places with new Special Educational Needs (SEN) units in mainstream schools. The opening of Hopescourt School, a 200-place specialist free school in Walton-on-Thames in spring 2026.

We’re building extra care housing for older people, short breaks centres for adults with disabilities and more Children’s Homes to support young people in care.

Libraries are being upgraded, and a new community hub is coming to Weybridge, and we’ve made improvements at Gypsy, Roma and Traveller sites. To keep roads safe in winter, we’ve built new salt barns at Merrow and Godstone.

Funding community ideas

The Your Fund 哔咔漫画 Small Community Projects Fund is now open for applications until Friday 20 March 2026. You can apply for up to 拢50,000 to support a capital project in your community.

The fund launched in 2023. Since then, it has awarded an impressive 拢6.9 million to over 500 community projects. From solar panels and river safety boats to play areas and community gardens. We know that a small amount of funding in the right place can make a big difference.

Celebrating 哔咔漫画’s heritage

This summer, 拢350,000 of National Lottery funding is helping bring 哔咔漫画’s history to life!

The Fetcham Springs Archaeology Project has received 拢250,000. The funding will be used to explore thousands of years of human activity from the Ice Age to the Saxon era. The project offers volunteering, workshops and free school visits opportunities.

拢99,781 has been awarded to What Keeps Us Well, a partnership project run by 哔咔漫画 Heritage and It’s Not Your Birthday But. This will look at how people stayed well in the past. It aims to inspire conversations about identity, belonging and wellbeing.

Modern spaces for life’s milestones

We’re transforming 哔咔漫画’s Registration Services to give residents a better experience at life’s key moments. Over the past year, we’ve modernised older buildings and made them more energy efficient. We’ve reopened Rylston in Weybridge as a premium ceremonies venue, with sustainable upgrades and elegant d茅cor.

We’re also making it easier to register births and deaths by offering appointments at newly refurbished library hubs in Epsom and Staines-upon-Thames, with Guildford Library joining by October 2026.

Cleaner, greener travel

We’ve invested over 拢16 million in 34 zero emission hydrogen buses. These buses, now operating across 哔咔漫画, are part of the UK’s largest hydrogen bus fleet. These buses run on green hydrogen. They’re helping cut carbon emissions and making journeys more reliable for the nearly 27 million people who used 哔咔漫画’s bus network last year.
