Two of the councillors in this ward are Liberal Democrats.
Your Liberal Democrat councillors are:
For the last 9 years your local Lib Dems have been campaigning to move our polling station out of Oaklands School, something we were repeatedly told by the Tories was not possible.
The new Lib Dem-run Council has successfully fulfilled on our promise, and the new polling station is now at St Sebastian's Hall.
Councillor Jordan Montgomery says, "We made a pledge to the parents who suffered the disruption of the school being closed nearly every year for polling day, and I am so glad that we have delivered!”
While the emergency gas works on Nine Mile Ride were unavoidable, as local residents ourselves we know the difficulty this has caused. We will continue to work closely with Wokingham Borough Council Officers and the Gas Board to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum, and that the road is re-opened as soon as possible.
Wokingham Borough residents who are struggling to pay for essentials during the cost-of-living crisis could get a grant of up to £240 to help with the cost of
food, fuel and other essentials. Councillor Jordan Montgomery says, “This is good news with more residents than evergrappling with higher costs for food, energy and housing. The Lib Dems running Wokingham Borough Council have created a £250,000 fund for longer term projects to tackle the root causes of poverty.”
After 14 years, the Conservatives run in Government has finally come to an end. In their final years, their failure to protect our natural environment has become increasingly evident
Firstly I'd like to say a huge thank you to the people of Wokingham who have put their trust in me and elected me to represent you in parliament as the first ever Liberal Democrat MP for Wokingham
Stephen Conway's interview with the local paper.
As the local elections draw near, it is a good time to reflect on some of the good things that the council has achieved over the last two years under Lib Dem leadership.
Green recycling bags can now be picked up from 12 additional hubs across Wokingham Borough, bringing the total up to 17, as the council prepares to change its household waste collections.
The government has announced that it will provide £418,000 of “resurfacing funds” to Wokingham to be spent on road maintenance. This fund is no where near enough to make up for their past underfunding.
Our volunteer deliverers are the backbone of our campaign. Thank you if you can help!
