Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Click on the submission you would like to view. If you are not taken to that page, please scroll through the document. Surnames L-M Porter, Johanna From: Wayne Lamport < > Sent: 27 September 2014 08:05 To: Reviews@ Subject: Objection to Woking Boundary changes Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged To whom it may concern, I would like to express my objection to the draft changes to boundaries of Woking. I live in Hollies Ave in West Byfleet and under the new proposals, our road, together with Woodlands Ave and Old Ave would now come under the ward of Sheerwater. My objections are based on the following; I live approximately 800 yards from West Byfleet village/train station and under the draft proposals I will not be able to vote/have a say on matters affecting West Byfleet, which of course is totally unacceptable. The needs of the residents of Sheerwater are different to those of West Byfleet I chose to buy a house in West Byfleet, not Sheerwater and have invested a lot of money into my property and therefore I am concerned in house prices. As far as I know no‐one has undertaken any investigation on the possible effect of houses prices, again totally unacceptable. I do no believe the proposed re‐generation of Sheerwater has been taken into consideration when calculating ward sizes, therefore will totally skew the sizes of wards once the re‐generation is complete.

  • Woking Borough Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Woking Borough Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • The Muslim War Cemetery Peace Garden Horsell Common, Woking
    The Muslim War Cemetery Peace Garden Horsell Common, Woking The site has a fascinating history and, together with the nearby Shah Jahan Mosque, is the oldest in the country. Built in 1889 by an extraordinary Jew, Dr Gottleib Wilhelm Leitner, the site sets a shining example of bringing together different faiths and cultures within the country. The Burial Ground was founded in 1917 as a last resting place for Allied Muslim soldiers who died of their wounds in this country during WW1, and later supplemented with further burials in WW2, bringing the total numbers of graves to 27. In 1969, following some regrettable vandalism, the graves were transferred to the nearby Brookwood Military Cemetery. For many years the Horsell Common Preservation Society, who had by then taken over the site, tried without success to raise fund to renovate and protect this important monument. In 2012, mindful of the centenary commemorations of the commencement of the Great War, English Heritage offered to fund 80% of the cost of repairs to the boundary wall structure and the Chattri (entrance). In response, Woking Borough Council agreed to meet the balance so the project could be completed and in the autumn of 2013, renovation experts Universal Stone Ltd commenced repairs to the brickwork and Portland stone capping under the guidance of architects Radley House Partnership. The terra firma Consultancy became involved as designers for the garden within the site, with a loose brief to conceive a special place of remembrance celebrating the vast, and vitally important, contribution made to the Allied war effort by armies of the Indian sub-continent.
