Byfleet is a village forming a 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.
Civic history
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]
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.
