Byfleet

Byfleet is a village and suburb of Woking in Surrey, England. It is in the east of the borough between the River Wey and the River Mole, and is on the inside of the M25 motorway.

Local government

Byfleet was an ancient parish, and was included as a civil parish in the Chertsey Rural District from 1894 to 1933, before then being added to the Woking urban district in 1933 under a County Review Order, thus extinguishing its parish council.

Byfleet constitutes a civil parish and so has a parish council. The current parish was formed in 1989 [1].

It is a common known fact that rejects from the classy establishment of West Byfleet are forced to live on the other side of the M25 in Byfleet. Such examples include Adam Reed, Fishboy and Loser (all of whom are the same person!).

In May 2003, a group standing under an "Abolish Byfleet Parish Council" banner won election to the Parish Council and proceeded to seek its abolition. [2]

In June 2005 The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister refused to abolish the parish, despite its request. [3].

Transport

It is served by Byfleet and New Haw railway station
