Will Forster MP: Standing Up for Pensioners in Woking

As the cold winter months set in and many pensioners in Woking face rising energy bills, the reduction in Winter Fuel Payments has become a major concern for local residents. Will Forster MP is taking a stand against these cuts, which will have a devastating impact on some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

A Fairer Approach for Woking’s Pensioners

The decision to reduce Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners comes at a time when financial pressures are mounting, and energy prices are soaring once again. Will Forster understands the hardship this will cause, and he has been vocal in opposing the cuts every step of the way. He firmly believes that removing support from those who need it most is unjust, especially at a time when pensioners in Woking and across the UK are already grappling with the cost-of-living crisis.

“I am deeply concerned about these changes,” Will said. “It is simply wrong to take away vital financial help from the people who need it most. I voted against the measure in Parliament because I believe the government’s approach is unfair.”

Will’s Stand in Parliament

The economic challenges we are facing today are the result of years of mismanagement, and it is the most vulnerable who are paying the price. Will Forster is committed to ensuring that pensioners are not left behind. Together with his Liberal Democrat colleagues, he has been working tirelessly to fight these cuts in Parliament.

“Reducing Winter Fuel Payments will hurt millions of pensioners, including those right here in Woking,” Will added. “That’s why we have tabled a motion to reject these cuts, and we will continue to press the government for a change. Pensioners deserve better.”

Protecting the Triple Lock

Will’s commitment to pensioners goes beyond opposing cuts to Winter Fuel Payments. He is also a strong advocate for the triple lock, which ensures that pensioner incomes rise with the cost of living. The Liberal Democrats were instrumental in introducing the triple lock, and Will is determined to protect it for the future.

“We need to provide pensioners with the security they deserve,” Will said. “That’s why the Lib Dems are committed to maintaining the triple lock, which helps to ensure that pensions are always enough to live on, even in times of economic uncertainty.”

Fighting for Woking’s Future

As the MP for Woking, Will Forster remains dedicated to representing the people of his constituency and fighting for the issues that matter most to them. He is committed to holding the government to account, pushing for fairer policies, and ensuring that pensioners in Woking and beyond receive the support they need.

“Rest assured, I will continue to press the government to reverse these cuts and take action to support pensioners struggling this winter,” Will said. “Together, we can ensure that our community gets the fair treatment it deserves.”
