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.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Ed Davey has called for business rates to be scrapped to boost high streets. The Lib Dem policy would aim to tackle one of the key challenges facing businesses and shops, revitalising town centres.
The newest member of Wokingham Town Council, Chetna Jamthe, has joined the Liberal Democrat group.
Good Financial management is vital for any organisation, especially when times are tough - and Wokingham Borough council is no different. Here are just some examples, since the Liberal Democrats have been in charge:

The Liberal Democrats are committed to rebuilding the trust and compassion that the UK was once known for. We believe that our country has a responsibility to support those in need, no matter where they are in the world.
For too long, years of neglect and mismanagement by the previous Conservative Government have pushed our prison system into a deep crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
