For the second year running, Woking Conservatives has bucked the trend by winning seat while other Conservative councils around England saw their majorities slashed or disappear altogether.
In Woking, the count began with the news that Richard Wilson had held The Byfleet with a majority of just under 900 and 50% of the vote. This was following by the Knaphill and Goldsworth West, where Saj Hussain turned a Lib Dem majority of 500 into a Conservative majority of well over 1,000, the first of two Conservative gains.
Both Goldsworth East and Horsell Village and Woking North were the results of boundary changes put forward by the Liberal Democrats in the hope that it would make things easier for them. In the end, this chicanery failed to bear fruit for them as first Colin Kemp beat the Lib Dem candidate by 94 votes in Goldsworth and Horsell before Ben Carasco Carasco held off a strong challenge from Labour in Woking North by 150 to retain his seat on Surrey County Council.
Both Elizabeth Bowes and Linda Kemeny easily retain their seats renamed Woking South East and Woking South West respectively. In Worplesdon, which includes the Pirbright and Normandy wards of Woking Association, Keith Witham increased his majority to more than 1,000 in a seat that was Lib Dem only a decade ago.
The only crumb of comfort for Lib Dem was that they were able to hold onto Woking South, a seat that they considered to be safe.
Speaking about the results, Chairman of Woking Conservatives and re-elected County Councillor Linda Kemeny said: "This really was a superb set of results for Woking and a testament to all the hard work that has gone into our campaign over the past few weeks.
"I would like to thank everyone involved but also the public, who have given us their trust and confidence for another four years. We have heard the messages on the doorstep about what you think needs doing and will listen."
