VINCE CABLE HAILS LIB DEM SUCCESSES IN GOVERNMENT IN WOKING SPEECH Woking Liberal Democrats were delighted to welcome Dr Vince Cable to Woking on Saturday 26 October.
In a Judgement made by the Election Commissioner Richard Mawrey QC on 29th July 2013, it was stated that in the election in Maybury and Sheerwater Ward which took place on 3rd May 2012 that "corrupt and illegal practices" had occurred and that the election of Mohammed Bashir, the Liberal Democrat candidate was invalid.
Working with Guildford, and Woking local parties
Despite a strong campaign by Lib Dem Councillors and local residents, Conservative-run Woking Borough Council have cut the funding to the Maybury Neighbourhood Advice Centre, threatening the organisation with closure.
Local Lib Dems are opposed to plans for a Biomass Incinerator off Redhill Road in Cobham, Surrey. If approved, the proposals would mean 30,000 tonnes of imported waste wood be trucked into power the gasification unit and it's 24.5 meter high chimney stack.
Woking Liberal Democrats are sorry to announce the resignation of Councillor Olly Wells as councillor in the ward of Knaphill: As I am sure many of you have noticed in the latest Focus, I am standing down as a councillor for Knaphill. It has been a real honour to serve residents as councillor in Knaphill for the last four years. In the next few months I am likely to be moving to London to make my commute to work more manageable. This means that I cannot give the role of councillor the time it deserves. However I know that in Lisa we have a candidate who, if elected, will make an outstanding councillor who will work tirelessly for the residents of Knaphill. Lisa's track record over the last 18 months has been one of relentless determination to get things done for residents and I know she will be able to do even more if elected as councillor. Please give her your support in the elections on May 3rd.
Mr Mayor, fellow Councillors, Ladies & Gentlemen.
October is Black History Month - a chance to celebrate the Black British community, acknowledge their contributions and discover their stories.
