Fifth election in a year as councillor steps down

The borough will face its fifth by-election in less than a year after a Lib Dem councillor announced his resignation.

Kingston councillor Marc Woodall, who received over 2,000 votes at May 2010 elections, stepped down on Friday, May 25, to take up a politically restricted post at Surrey County Council.

Mr Woodall has been promoted to a position where he must advise on politically sensitive issues, which means he can no longer be a councillor under strict civil service rules.

Largewood Avenue and Red Lion Road

14 years ago...

Hi

I'm hoping to move to Surbiton/Tolworth soon. Initially I was looking at central Surbiton but have realised that's out of my budget, so looks like it will be Tolworth.

Can anyone give me an idea of what Tolworth is like, especially Largewood Avenue and Red Lion Road? Are there any roads in Tolworth that you'd recommend, or that should be avoided if possible?

I'd be very grateful for any feedback - thanks.
