Lib Dems welcome £95 million Government investment in Woking

Liberal Democrats welcome Government investment in Woking Local Lib Dems have welcomed the Government's decision to spent £95 million on Woking's infrastructure. On Tuesday 11th June, the Government announced that £95 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund would be invested in Woking to revamp Victoria Arch and the A320 highway network south of railway bridge. Liberal Democrat County Councillor for Woking South, Will Forster said: "Since being elected as County Councillor for Woking South in 2009, I have been pushing for better access to the town centre and railway station from the south side of Woking. Victoria Arch and the roads leading up to it are inadequate for motorists, dangerous for cyclists and unpleasant for pedestrians. That is why the Liberal Democrats and I fully welcome the decision to spend £95 million on Woking's transport system."
