Victoria Way Closure Update

I wanted to provide you with the latest update on the closure of Victoria Way, following the concerns many of you have raised with me.

After persistent efforts, I was finally granted a site visit to the Hilton Hotel, where the cladding has fallen off. During my visit, I had the opportunity to speak directly with the builders, Sir Robert McAlpine, and made sure to convey the frustrations and experiences of Woking residents.

One of the key issues I addressed was the need for compensation for those affected by the ongoing disruption. Additionally, I pressed the builders on their proposed timeline for reopening Victoria Way. As it stands, they intend to reopen the road by Easter, with a more permanent solution anticipated by summer. I find this timeline completely unacceptable and will continue pushing for a quicker resolution.
