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.

During a Woking Borough Council's planning meeting, on 20th March, Lib Dem Councillor Louise Morales voted against the removal of aTree Preservation Order (TPO) on a 100+ year-old Sweet Chestnut Tree in the grounds of St John's Primary School, Knaphill, Woking. However, all three Tory Councillors for Knaphill, plus the Tory Councillor for Goldsworth Park voted for the removal of the TPO. The removal of the order now means that the school is free to destroy the tree.

Vagrancy isn't a word we often use in the 21st Century. That's why the law that makes homelessness a crime dates back to the 19th century. Layla Moran MP, our excellent MP for Oxford West and Abingdon has brought forward a bill to repeal this draconian law and stop people being arrested just for not having a roof over their head.

As the party who listen to local people make sure you let us know the local issues that concern you the most by filling in our 2018 residents survey.

Living in Britain today, we all know the scale of the problems approaching us - and yet it seems that no-one has the courage to argue for the radical solutions we need.

Runaway climate change; an aging population; healthcare and housing both in crisis; the passing of the liberal international order; the commercialisation of our private data; the risks and rewards of automation and AI; one tax system for multinationals and the rich, another for everyone else.

Boris Johnson has made a bizarre appearance on the Today programme where he showed flagrant disregard for history and international affairs by comparing the Northern Ireland border with the Congestion Charge.

Once again the Foreign Secretary has shown why he shouldn't be allowed out of the house to talk about foreign affairs.

He has revealed a complete lack of understanding of the complexities and history of the Northern Irish border. It is one of the major outstanding issues of Brexit negotiations and one of our most senior Cabinet Ministers hasn't even bothered to read his briefing notes.
