Election Success for local Liberal Democrats

Across Woking, Liberal Democrats had an amazing election result this May. We gained 3 seats on Woking Borough Council and 1 seat on Surrey County Council, from the Conservatives. Lance Spencer gained the Goldsworth East and Horsell Village County seat, defeating the Deputy Leader of the County Council in the process.

Negative Equity

How large is Woking Borough Council's Negative Equity?

We all know that when times are tough there is a risk that the mortgage on our home may exceed the price we can sell it for. WBC has borrowed at least £1.5 Billion to plough into property development in the last few years. Many of these properties are being developed by companies owned in whole or in part by WBC.

Woking Borough Council is on the hook for £3.2 Billion.

Having reviewed the most recently published version of WBC's Green Book it is clear the current Conservative leadership has borrowed at least £1.5 Billion and in the process has committed the Council to repaying these loans, plus interest of at least £3.2 Billion over the next 50 years. Whether the Victoria Square project thrives or not WBC will have to find this cash. This is the equivalent of £84,000 for every household in the borough.
