Will Forster MP Marks One Year Since Historic Election Win – Vows to Keep Delivering for Woking 

One year ago, the Liberal Democrats made history, winning 72 seats across the country – including a landmark victory in Woking. Since then, Will Forster, Woking’s first-ever Liberal Democrat MP, has been standing up for local people and fighting hard to deliver real change.

Reflecting on his first year in Parliament, Will Forster said:

“It’s the honour of a lifetime to serve as the MP for Woking. Over the past year, I’ve worked tirelessly to put our community first – tackling the issues that matter to local people and holding those in power to account.

“That includes challenging the £2 billion debt crisis left by the previous Conservative-run Council by getting the Government to reduce the interest rate Woking has to pay and to ensure that the new local authority will not be burdened by debt.

“I’m also working to honour the legacy of Sara Sharif by campaigning for 'Sara’s Law' – new national standards to improve early intervention in child safeguarding, to help prevent such devastating tragedies in future.

“As Chair of the new All-Party Parliamentary Group on South Western Railway, I’m fighting to improve rail services for commuters in Woking and beyond – making sure passengers get the reliable, affordable service they deserve.

“It’s been a hugely productive first year, and I’m proud of all we’ve achieved together. But this is just the beginning – I’m determined to keep listening, keep working, and keep delivering for everyone in Woking.”
