Richmond and Wandsworth Councils

This week we have launched our new organisational identity, Richmond and Wandsworth Better Service Partnership. We're a unique set-up - a single staff group serving two sovereign London boroughs, with two sets of elected members. Over the past two years, we've been working with our people to define a new vision for our organisation. The way we now describe ourselves is a testament to our unique strengths and with a strong purpose, belief and set of values, our new identity drives us to connect better across teams, services and our two boroughs to think bigger and help our communities thrive in a changing world. Let our people tell you all about it...
