Who are we?
Weybridge & St. George's Independents is a registered political party which represents Weybridge St. George's Hill Ward. We've fielded candidates since the year 2000 and from the beginning have had a very successful track record of having those candidates elected to Elmbridge Borough Council.
Our candidates and councillors are motivated by community spirit and a desire to help shape our town and surroundings for the benefit of everyone. As local residents our focus is on what is best for our Ward and for Elmbridge. We are not pressurised by a national political party machine, nor do we have ambitions to progress through the ranks of a large national party, let alone curry favour with the hierarchy above us (there isn't one). Our councillors are free to make decisions with are in your best interests.
In addition to all the day to day issues we pick up and move forward, here are some initiatives on which we have lobbies for or pushed forward:
