Congratulations to Sarah Kerr, who won the Evendons by-election on Thursday in a landslide win, achieving 63% of the vote share. A heartfelt Thank You must go to the many volunteers and voters who gave their all to deliver this amazing victory. They can now look forward to Sarah and the Lib Dems now working just as hard to serve the residents of Evendons ward.
Street light number 4 Mayfields, Sindlesham has been unlit for over 9 months without a power supply. Following continued pressure by the Winnersh Lib Dem team, the street light finally was working on Friday 8th February after Wokingham Borough Council got SSE to connect a power supply. One local resident quoted on the Winnersh Community Facebook "I couldn't believe it when I saw the light - it was a true miracle! Thanks."
Sarah Kerr is our Liberal Democrat candidate for the Evendons East by-election.
She lives in Evendons ward on Evendons Lane with her husband and sons, and her adult triplet step-daughters visit often.
She worked in the IT industry for several years, and later transferred her skills into the charity sector working as a fundraiser. After having her boys however, she decided to balance being a mother with her love of music and started a career as a freelance musician. She has two music degrees, and is a classically trained pianist and conductor working predominantly in the choral and opera world. She is also a keen runner.

About 30 Lib Dems form Wokingham were on the March. There were also people from Wokingham who don't belong to any political party.
The Liberal Democrats had much to celebrate on the 3rd of May, firstly increasing their vote share across the Borough by 4% to 32%, getting two councillors re-elected and gaining two seats from the Conservatives.

"I'm Morgan and I am the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Norreys East by-election. I moved to Wokingham to be closer to my work in Bracknell where I work in communications for a company that organises public policy conferences. Since moving to Wokingham I have come to know a town that is made up of residents who want a council that listens to them and that hears their concerns. That has been and is my main focus for putting my name forward for election in Norreys in order to be a voice for residents and to do everything I can to make sure their voices are heard.
