From Friday 19 August 2022, Woking Borough Council will be contacting residents registered on the electoral register who have previously supplied their email address to us. 

This activity forms part of our ‘annual canvass’ which is conducted each year to ensure that the electoral register is up-to-date and to identify any residents who are not yet registered to vote.

Woking Borough Council has submitted a bid to the government’s Levelling Up Fund in the hope of securing £3.8 million to support the development of a ‘health and community campus’ in Sheerwater.  
 
Sheerwater is the second most deprived area in Surrey and is within the most deprived 20% of the national population as identified by the national Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). 
 

Residents, businesses and key stakeholders keen to understand more about the Woking Town Centre Masterplan consultation, and have their say, can now visit a dedicated ‘shape your place’ pop-up shop.

Located along Mercia Walk, visitors can drop by to view an informative exhibition covering each of the ten Masterplan themes, as well as having the opportunity to talk to planning officers before submitting their views.

Woking borough residents are being urged to check their electoral registration details or risk losing their chance to vote on local decisions that affect them.

With elections taking place for Woking Borough Council on Thursday 4 May 2023, this is an opportunity for residents to make sure they can take part.

From Friday 19 August 2022, the council will start its yearly audit, known as the ‘annual canvass’. This work keeps the electoral register up to date, identifies those at risk of losing their voice at elections, and encourages residents to register before it’s too late.

Woking’s Family Centres have received an 'exceptional performance' grading from the Commissioning and Early Help and Hubs Service at Surrey County Council (SCC).

The centres offer one-to-one support to families with children aged up to 11 years old requiring specialist intervention, specifically where circumstances at home are having a significant impact on the health, development or wellbeing of a child.

This summer, to help families combat the rising cost of living, many supermarkets are running 'kids eat free' schemes to make sure no child goes hungry while school is out for summer.

There are a few different locations in and around Woking where you can take advantage of the savings and keep the whole family fed for less.
