Lib Dem councillors have today attacked the Conservatives on Wokingham Borough Council for failing residents. Lib Dem Group Leader Prue Bray said: "Services have been cut, school buildings are crumbling, the roads are full of pot holes, council tenants are suffering and Children's Services has been judged among the worst in the country. The council is going backwards in terms of performance. But all we hear from the Conservatives is that it's the government's fault for not giving Wokingham enough money. It is time the Conservative leadership stopped blaming other people and admitted that they are the ones at fault."
