The River Wey and other watercourses across Guildford constituency is now under more threat as Government fails to take action on water companies
Small and medium-sized businesses, from tech start-ups to hairdressers and cafes, in Hinckley and Bosworth will pay an extra £4.3million a year due to the rise in national insurance, research commissioned by the Liberal Democrats has found.

I have lived and studied in Guildford for more than 20 years and before that, I grew up in Farnham. Visits to Guildford as a child were always a treat, so as you can see, Guildford is in my blood and I am pleased and proud to support Guildford Borough Council's bid for city status for Guildford. It would, of course, be a 'third-time lucky' bid and I am hopeful that my home town will this time be granted the city status it deserves. The City of Guildford has a positive ring to it and as the county town of Surrey, with a Cathedral and a University, it makes complete sense for Guildford to be granted city status by Her Majesty to celebrate her 70 years on the throne next year.
