[edit] 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]
[edit] Transport
It is served by Byfleet and New Haw railway station.
