Cllr Ann-Marie Barker, Leader of Woking Borough Council, said: “We have seen great engagement with the Masterplan consultation so far, and are pleased to be able to offer these additional roadshows in Pyrford and Horsell so more residents can speak directly with officers and ask any questions they have about the future of Woking town centre.

“Thank you to everyone who has given us their feedback on the Masterplan already. If you haven’t yet, you have until Monday 17 October to have your voice heard and I encourage you to get involved.”

The Masterplan will establish an overarching vision for the town centre that will enable design-led, sustainable development, such as building new homes that meet the needs of residents, cultivating a thriving retail and business environment, and strengthening Woking’s cultural and leisure offer.

It sets out detailed standards and principles that deliver a shared vision for the town centre, such as building heights and density. It will provide a long-term vision of what Woking’s skyline could look like by 2030 and beyond.
