Toby Matthews for West Byfleet

Toby grew up near Folkestone and went to university in Norwich, where he attained a master's degree in history. He currently works for GfK NOP as a Research Executive and moved to Woking four years ago. "I have entered politics because I want to help make the country a fairer place and strengthen the local community. I believe that government needs to change, with more power being devolved to our local communities. West Byfleet is a great place to live, but I feel more needs to be done to help the local businesses."
