LA21 Steering Group are a collection of local people who live or work in the Woking Borough. They meet bi-montly to oversee and progress LA21 for Woking, and discuss any local issues that are relevant to LA21. Woking Borough Council provide administrative support and meeting rooms. The Steering Group and LA21 Chair are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting.

LA21 Liaison Group is a quarterly meeting involving LA21 Steering Group representatives, Borough Councillors representing the main political parties, and Woking Borough Council Officers. This enables LA21 and the Borough Council to feedback any progress and discuss relevant environment and sustainability issues. Woking LA21 is also a linked partner to the Local Strategic Partnership, which enables two-way communications with a range of local organisations and agencies.

LA21 Action Groups operate in conjunction with the Steering Group to progress specific projects and initiatives. These are open to anyone who wishes to help or conrtribute to an initiative. Current project groups are focusing on developing and promoting Green Pages, and building on the success of Gardening For Life.
