Guildford Street improvements

Drawing of improvements to Guildford Street, Chertsey

In 2023, Runnymede Borough Council was allocated £1 million from the Government's Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) to improve the borough's urban environment and strengthen the sense of community and resilience for residents and businesses. The Council identified improvements to our town centres as a key priority area for the funding. 

Following the investment in Addlestone and Egham town centres, the Council's next objective was to enhance Chertsey Town Centre, the borough's third major town. The Guildford Street North area was seen as the primary focus of the much-needed investment to improve the town's historical attraction and draw visitors back to the high streets. 

 Approximately £500,000 has been allocated to improvements to the public realm, environmental beautification, business grants to improve the frontage of their businesses and additional streetscape, furnishing where identified opportunities arise.
