About Richmond Borough Council

We want to make Richmond upon Thames a greener, safer and fairer borough in London. This means we are committed to investing in good quality local services, whilst also protecting the most vulnerable. In an increasingly difficult financial context, that means we must work with residents and our local partners to tackle
challenges head on. We put a premium on our relationship with local people, we want to listen, understand the needs and preferences of local communities and agree
priorities together. We want to put a real and meaningful dialogue with local people at the heart of all our decisions.
