The review follows an application from Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum proposing that a parish council be established covering the Pyrford Neighbourhood Area.

The consultation invites feedback on the creation of a parish council and its electoral arrangements, such as the number of councillors, wards and boundaries. All views received will help shape the council’s decision. 

Adesuwa Omoregie, Woking Borough Council’s Electoral Registration Officer, said: 

The centre, at the time managed by the Maybury Centre Trust, had its electricity supply terminated and the meter removed, leaving the centre without power. As a result, essential safety systems were no longer working and the site was closed in the interests of public safety. 

Subsequent investigations revealed that the gas meter had also been removed.

As a result, Woking Borough Council has assumed operational management of the Maybury Centre. The Trust will no longer be involved in the management of the site.

From full-throttle Harley Davidson bikes to gleaming hot rods, over 100 classic and custom vehicles lined the town driving thousands of visitors for a day of petrol-powered excitement.

The Transformers were a smash hit once again, with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade and Megatron drawing huge crowds alongside Batman, who arrived in style in his Batmobile. 

Other movie cars included the hilarious Mutts Cutts van from Dumb and Dumber, and the iconic Vauxhall Astra from Hot Fuzz.

Cllr Ann-Marie Barker, said:

Woking Borough Council is appalled by the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

The scale of suffering, with tens of thousands of innocent lives lost, widespread displacement, and severe shortages of food, water and medical aid, is deeply distressing.

These are human tragedies that transcend politics, and we unequivocally condemn the barbaric acts that have led to such devastation.

As a local authority, we are not responsible for foreign policy, nor do we control the Surrey Pension Fund. 

Subject to contract, the appointment covers Woking Leisure Centre, Pool in the Park, Woking Sportsbox and Eastwood Leisure Centre, and will see Everyone Active take responsibility for delivering a wide-ranging programme of physical activity and wellbeing services for residents.

The new partnership will ensure leisure services are inclusive, high-quality and financially sustainable, with a strong focus on community engagement and innovation.

The scheme, which was agreed at the Executive meeting on Thursday 11 September, will apply to smaller Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). These are properties where 3 or more people from 2 or more households share facilities such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Larger HMOs with 5 or more occupants are already subject to mandatory licensing.

The decision follows growing concerns about poor property conditions, inadequate management and the risk that some tenants feel unable to report problems for fear of eviction.

The new scheme will:

From 11am to 4pm, visitors can enjoy a display of over 100 locally owned cars and bikes lining the town centre, alongside a range of family-friendly activities, including:

Taking place at Woking Leisure Centre on Thursday 13 November, the networking event will bring up to 100 local groups and organisations together to connect and strengthen support for residents.

Local people are also welcome to drop-in from 10am until 1.30pm to explore the services available to them and discover meaningful volunteering opportunities.

Cllr Ann-Marie Barker, Leader of Woking Borough Council, said: 

As a mark of respect, the Union flag above the Civic Offices will be flown at half-mast.

What does our borough need in the future? More homes? Better jobs? Stronger climate action? Thriving communities? Now is your chance to have your say, as Woking Borough Council launches a public consultation as part of a development of a new Local Plan. 

The Local Plan is the borough’s blueprint for development over the next 15 to 20 years. It sets out how land will be used, what gets built where, including homes, jobs and infrastructure, whilst protecting what matters most. 

The structure, a large front canopied enclosure made of scaffolding poles, corrugated metal sheeting, composite panels and metal gate, was erected without planning permission. It has drawn repeated concerns from members of the public due to its stark and visually intrusive appearance, dominating the street scene in Abbot Close, West Byfleet.

The Seymours Woking Car Show will be taking place on Sunday 21 September 2025, between 11am and 4pm, across Woking town centre.
