Visited #Woking’s York Road Project to mark #WorldHomelessDay. Cherisse, Tim and the whole team at the shelter do an incredible job to reduce homelessness locally.

Great news for West Byfleet - the village is getting a Post Office! The branch will open in Botanical Place on Monday 14th December. After Lloyds closed, West Byfleet was left without any Post Office or banking services in the village, so I'm delighted that they are returning.

Earlier this week, the Housing Secretary announced a Government U-turn - they will now regulate property management agents. Something I have long been calling for to help people in #Woking and across the country hold companies who run their homes.

100 residents were evacuated from #Woking's Eastgate building in 2023. Despite independent testing being carried out, the results haven't been released and it still sits abandoned. I've demanded the results be released immediately and residents given a full explanation.

Will Forster MP @willforster.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Housing is the top issue in my inbox as #Woking’s MP - including problems with property management companies. Pleased the Government have now U-turned and will soon regulate them.

Out knocking on doors in #Woking to hear first hand from constituents. Listening to opinions and experiences are crucial to understanding how I can best support our community - if I haven't already, I hope to see you soon! If you need my support ⬇️ will.forster.mp@parliament.uk

A #Woking resident lives in fear after the Probation Service released her former partner and warned her that he had made threats against both her and her child - and that she needs rehousing for her safety. The Government must boost probation staffing to prevent cases like this.

#Woking has almost 180 families in temporary accommodation, with 20 of them being housed outside of the borough. People housed in temporary accommodation should be able to stay in their communities, and I'm pushing to ensure that councils can do this.

The @libdems.org.uk’ Autumn Conference ended with a bang - with our plan cut your taxes by increasing the personal allowance to £15,000. Over 4 days, I spoke on range of issues including fixing family courts, human rights, housing and vulnerable children.

Rail passengers in #Woking are suffering ever-higher fares for a declining service, with increasing delays and cancellations that are making journeys a nightmare. I want to hear your experience of SWR services, so I can push for improvements. digitallibdems.typeform.com/to/dE09xnTW?...

I’m delighted McLaren have committed to £500 million of investment across the UK, including creating more skilled manufacturing jobs here in #Woking.

I'm deeply concerned that #RNLI lifeboats were recently turned away from two ports, Portsmouth and Southampton. I've demanded that the Government explains why harbourmasters were allowed to turn away lifeboats that are there to save lives.

For the first time in its history, the last Commonwealth Games wasn’t broadcast for all to watch. Football fans are having to pay almost £700 to follow their club in this season’s Premier League. I’ve called on the Government to ensure there is more, not less, free-to-air sport.

Four #Woking teenagers are competing in the Martial Arts World Championships, but have to pay a fortune for the privilege. I'm calling on the Government to provide more support to young athletes representing their country internationally.

More than 9 in 10 burglaries in #Surrey end without a charge! The @libdems.org.uk & I are calling for urgent action to restore neighbourhood policing & back a "Burglary Response Guarantee" that would ensure every burglary is attended & properly investigated. www.willforster.co.uk/stay-up-to-d...

The idea that water companies could be permitted to raise prices during periods of drought is disgraceful. I have written to the Secretary of State to express my anger at what is effectively "surge pricing." Water is not a luxury good. The Government must stop these proposals.

It was lovely to visit West Byfleet’s Community Fridge. The amazing volunteers do a great job at stopping valuable food going to landfill and being wasted - and ensure it goes to those that need it.

As a result of increasing costs and taxes, high street businesses in #Woking and across the country are struggling. The Government hasn't done enough to help - if anything, they have made things worse for businesses. I have urged them to act ensure our high streets thrive.

Delighted to meet the members of the boys and girls brigade from Zambia as part of a church exchange trip with #Woking United Reformed Church. Pleased I could help unblock Home Office bureaucracy that threatened to stop this brilliant exchange.

Breweries, pubs and other businesses are now having to pay twice to recycle glass bottles. Businesses are already struggling, this is the last thing they need. That's why I've called on the Government to stop hurting local businesses.

As it’s parliamentary recess, I’ve got a summer job at the Domino’s branch in #Woking!  Was fun to make a pizza and chat to the staff. Sadly, Labour’s NICs hike has had such a negative impact on their business.  P.S: I'm glad pizza making is in the hands of professionals...

South Western Railway's diesel trains will soon be replaced by electric trains. With cancellations and delays already a big issue on the network serving #Woking, I've asked the Government to ensure that the rollout of new trains doesn't add to the problem.

Residential leasehold has failed in #Woking and across the country. People are living in subpar conditions and being held captive by their leases. I have demanded the Government regulate managing agents to end the con of leasehold.

Will Forster MP @willforster.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

#Woking has one of the busiest rail aggregate good yards in the country. I have pushed the Government to provide further support for the rail freight industry which would help provide a healthier environment, help build homes, and reduce congestion.

#Woking Borough Council is starting to create a Local Plan to build the homes that we need. I’ve recently asked the Housing Minister if the Government’s planning reforms make Local Plans toothless - he says they don’t. Have your say below ⬇️ wokingsays.woking.gov.uk/en-GB/folder...

The Royal Mail is failing the people of #Woking with delayed letters, causing missed health appointments and important documents to arrive too late. That is why I have called upon the Government to hold Royal Mail accountable with consequences for their delivery failures.

Yesterday, Steve Reed spoke in Parliament about #Woking Council’s debts. Apparently, the Labour Government have written off the entire £2.1 billion. News to me! I've written to him to clarify what he meant - or did he just mispeak?

Will Forster MP @willforster.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

McLaren is the largest employer in #Woking - I want to see them expand and grow. I have asked the Government to work on lowering trade barriers between the UK and USA, to help McLaren and car manufacturers sell more cars and employ more people.
