Surrey Cuts Hit Woking
'These cuts to Surrey County Council's services will hit Woking hard,' said Will Forster, Liberal Democrat County Councillor for South Woking, after the meeting this Tuesday that set the budget for 2010/11. 'Cuts to transport budgets mean there may be no money at all for road improvements that Surrey's Woking Local Committee have already agreed are needed. We've had a petition with nearly a thousand signatures asking for something to be done to improve the lethal crossroads at Blackhorse Road, Saunders Lane and Heath House Road, and another asking for improvements at Brewery Road. Both of these were to be made safer, but now thanks to Tory County Hall's cuts it is unlikely that anything will now happen for at least the next three years. That is unacceptable.'
