Analysis by the Liberal Democrats shows that the average yearly bill for homeowners in Waverley is set to skyrocket by £657 - the equivalent of £54.75 a month - once the new energy price cap comes into effect.

The Liberal Democrats are on track to win seats across the country at the next General Election, including right here in South West Surrey, following their historic by-election victory.

The by-election was called as a result of popular and hardworking Lib Dem borough councillor Richard Cole standing down.

New data from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation exposes the true nature of how badly some areas will be hit by the £20 Universal Credit cut.

Lib Dem Penny Rivers made the proposal to reject the application at Surrey’s planning committee, arguing that the adverse impact on local businesses, roads, the landscape and on the environment outweighed any uncertain national benefits.

Penny Rivers held her seat in Godalming North, while there were gains for Paul Follows in Godalming South, Milford & Witley, John Robini in Haslemere and Liz Townsend in Cranleigh & Ewhurst.

Our recent residents' survey has revealed that only 14% of residents are 'satisfied' with the current performance of Conservative-run Surrey County Council, with a shocking 55% 'not satisfied' and 31% 'not sure'.

The news comes just a few weeks before local residents go to the polls to decide who should run the council for the next four years.
