Wokingham Liberal Democrats are shocked and saddened by the events in Forbury Gardens last Saturday evening. Out thoughts and condolences go out to all those who lost loved ones, or were impacted by this event that has affected the very heart of our community.

We express our thanks to the emergency services for their quick and effective response and commend the bravery of the police officer who apprehended the suspect.

Press Release from Wokingham Liberal Democrat Councillor Group

Heathrow Expansion Eventually Debated at Wokingham Borough Council

For the last 10 months the Conservatives at WBC have done their very best to stop any debate on the future expansion of Heathrow Airport. When the Lib Dem motion opposing Heathrow expansion was finally discussed at the 6^th July council meeting, the Conservatives took out any specific mention of Heathrow and made the motion about opposing expansion of airports which don't meet carbon emissions rules instead.

Liberal Democrat councillors were the driving force behind the Wokingham Pride even this weekend.
