A report looking at bankrupt Woking Borough Council's "long and atypical history of borrowing" is due to be discussed by councillors on Wednesday.Auditors Grant Thornton published a public interest report on 5 November looking at the council's financial situation, which led to debts of £2bn.It said accounting practice and systems were poor and that "significant mistakes were made" at the authority.

It also named Ray Morgan, who worked at the council in Surrey for more than 30 years, as the "principal architect of the council’s investment decisions".He has previously said he was aware of the report's publication and that it would be inappropriate for him to comment ahead of the meeting on Wednesday.

Woking effectively declared itself bankrupt in June 2023 and now has government commissioners in place to turn its finances around.

An investment strategy which saw the council borrow hundreds of millions of pounds for regeneration projects, including the town's Victoria Square development, was the main reason for the size of the debt."We're also committed to carrying out a review of the parental leave system to ensure it best supports working families."

A mayor is expecting "a bit of chafing" as he cycles from St Neots in Cambridgeshire to St Neot in Cornwall for charity, while going in some way to help repair an ancient rift.Richard Slade is undertaking the roughly 300-mile (480km) journey over the bank holiday weekend.

He said the two namesakes had a long history, as the legend goes that Cambridgeshire residents travelled to Cornwall 1,000 years ago and stole the bones of a saint - Saint Neot - causing a "fractious divide".The ride is one of several fundraising efforts the St Neots mayor is making in the hope of raising £10,000 for local theatre groups in the town, which he said needed support.
