Cllr Ann-Marie Barker and Cllr Deborah Hughes will lead the Liberal Democrat Group on Woking Council in 2018.

Cllr Barker continues her role as leader and Cllr Hughes becomes Deputy Leader. The leadership team was elected with the unanimous support of the Liberal Democrat Group. Cllr Hughes replaces Cllr Will Forster who is Mayor of Woking in 2018/19.

By now you'll have heard the results of the local elections in Woking. Woking Liberal Democrats held the seats we were defending and gained another seat. We fell just 10 votes short of gaining a further seat.

As you know,Woking Council asked people to bring photo ID to vote this time, as part of a national government pilot. The pilots are being formally evaluated by the Electoral Commission on behalf of the Government but we have also been asked to take part in a survey being undertaken by the Political Skills Forum which is looking to gather more informal feedback on people's experiences.

If you have the time, I would really appreciate it if you could fill out the short survey here by Friday 18 May.

A Vote for Lib Dems on Thursday will get you a strong, ethical team who will fight for Woking and it's people.

1. All Candidates are commited to a greener Woking - particularly protecting green spaces where people live.

2. Homes for every generation - single people, those with families or those downsizing, we need to give people the choice of a real home not a shoebox.

Lib Dem Candidates in every ward in Woking on 3rd May!

Wherever you live in Woking, you will have the choice to vote Lib Dem thanks to our fantastic full slate of candidates!

Throughout Woking all our Candidates know their communities and will be a strong voice for them. We are focussed on building a greener Woking, with homes for every generation, and want Woking Borough Council not to loose sight of delivering consistent, high quality local services.

Liberal Democrat county councillors have expressed their concern after it was revealed that Surrey County Council has not spent any of the income derived from its £298 million commercial property portfolio on council services. Previously, the Conservative Cabinet Member for Property & Business Services stated that: "We also have an additional need to generate an income from our strategy if we are to have any hope of raising enough money to fund the services our residents need."

The Windrush scandal has exposed the brutality of the Home Office and the Conservatives more clearly than a multitude of other immigration and asylum scandals.

The reason?

The Windrush Generation are British citizens. People who've lived here for decades - working, raising families, part of Britain.

Even the Daily Mail has been forced to back their case.
