The works will involve replacing sections of the stair tread plates, which have become loose and cracked, to ensure the subway remains safe and accessible for users.

To allow the works to be carried out safely, the subway will be closed during the following times:

• Wednesday 8 July, 8pm to Thursday 9 July, 6am
• Thursday 9 July, 8pm to Friday 10 July, 6am

Advance warning signage will be displayed ahead of the works, with additional signage in place during the closures to help direct pedestrians along the diversion route.

The flag was raised today (Friday 26 June) in recognition of Armed Forces Day and honours the dedication and service of the UK’s Armed Forces community, including serving personnel, veterans, reservists and their families.

The annual event provides an opportunity for the nation to come together and show support for those who make up the Armed Forces community, past and present.

The Mayor of Woking, Cllr Rob Leach, said: 

Antisocial behaviour can have a serious and lasting impact on individuals and communities, affecting victims’ health, wellbeing and sense of safety.  

In 2025/2026, more than 200 incidents of antisocial behaviour ranging from noisy neighbours to obstructive parking were reported directly to the council’s Community Safety team. Five ASB Case Reviews were initiated by residents due to persistent and ongoing antisocial behaviour. 

Careline is a personal alarm service that allows the user to call for help at the touch of a button, 24-hours a day, helping residents live safely and independently at home. 

The alarm button can be worn discreetly around the neck or wrist and links to a digital alarm unit installed at home.

The system can also support a range of other sensors, including fire, heat and motion, which alerts staff at a telecare centre if there is a problem.

We’d like to thank drivers for their patience during this short closure. 

A neighbourhood forum is a community-led group that can be formally designated by the council to create a neighbourhood plan or order for a specific area where there isn’t a town or parish council.

TCMK, which is owned by Thameswey Energy Ltd (TEL), itself a wholly owned Woking Borough Council company, provides district heating, cooling and a private wire electricity network to domestic and business customers in Milton Keynes.

Under the new ownership, services will continue to be provided to existing customers without interruption. All staff currently employed by TCMK will be offered roles with the new operator, supporting continuity of service provision.

Cllr Dale Roberts, Deputy Leader of Woking Borough Council and Portfolio Holder for Finance, said: 

The revised policies, approved by the council’s Executive on 11 June 2026, provide a clear and robust approach to rent arrears, repairs and maintenance, gas safety and electrical safety.

The revisions form a central part of the council’s ongoing Housing Improvement Programme and are designed to ensure compliance with the updated Consumer Standards introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing.

The policies provide a framework for how housing services should be delivered, while setting out what tenants can expect from the council and what responsibilities they hold.

Managed by Everyone Active in partnership with Woking Borough Council, the event brought together local residents of all ages to enjoy a wide range of activities, while showcasing the centre's recently completed £1.2 million refurbishment.

Team GB Olympian and Everyone Active YOU+ ambassador, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, greeted visitors, alongside Everyone Active Sporting Champions, Kim Valente and her daughter Sofia, both talented local athletes.

Known as a Saturation Zone, or Cumulative Impact Assessment, the zone supports the council, as Licensing Authority, in managing applications for licensed premises in areas where there is evidence that venues contribute to issues such as crime, disorder or public nuisance.

Licensed premises include businesses that sell alcohol, provide late-night refreshment between 11pm and 5am, or host entertainment such as music, sport or performances.

The funding, awarded through the latest round of the government’s Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF), will support the purchase of high-quality homes for families facing homelessness, as well as households arriving under the Afghan Resettlement Programme.

The council has been provisionally awarded a capital grant of £849,000 and a revenue grant of £5,698 (a total allocation of £854,698), subject to completion of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which was approved by the Executive last night (11 June).

Members of the Executive considered three reports relating to Thameswey Housing Ltd, Thameswey Energy Ltd and Victoria Square Woking Ltd.

The reports built on earlier decisions taken by the Executive in March and represent a further step in delivering the council’s Company Divestment Strategy and wider Improvement and Recovery Plan, which aim to simplify company structures, reduce risk and address historic borrowing.
