Last night, Woking Borough Council have announced that Victoria Way will be closed through Christmas and into the New Year due to problems with the new Hilton hotel.

There is no doubt this is awful news for local people and businesses in a key time of the year.

The Council and their contractors Sir Robert McAlpine have said fully understand the disruption caused by the emergency closure and the knock on effect it is having on people’s daily journeys.  They have both apologised for the ongoing inconvenience.
