A CASINO FOR WOKING - LIB DEM COUNCILLORS TO HAVE A FREE VOTE
Whether or not Woking seeks to have a casino is a major decision, with
many aspects. It needs a full debate, informed by equally full public
consultation.
"Sadly, because of the Tory Executive's late consideration of the matter,
and the application deadline of 31 March, it will now have a second-best
process. But I am glad that the Executive has decided - by three votes to
two! - to back the process proposed by Liberal Democrats in which all
Councillors will have a say. Individual Councillors should - and Liberal
Democrat Councillors will - have a free vote.
