LIB DEMS TAKE CONTROL OF THE COUNCIL EXECUTIVE

It was smiles all round on Thursday when Cllr Sue Smith arrived at Woking Borough Council surrounded by her jubilant team to take control of Woking. The promise to residents is an attitude of openness, transparency, accountability and genuine consultation - not deciding first and then consulting. At the Council meeting that followed Sue outlined the Lib Dem programme for the year which includes introducing Neighbourhood Forums with genuine commitment to putting local people at the heart of decision making stating "what we can do is bring a different attitude to government".

But by renewing passports now, before the database is set up, details can be kept off it until 2016.
