In 2022 and 2023 Wokingham residents voted in unprecedented numbers for the Liberal Democrats to restore competence, trust and care to their council in these challenging times.
We have focused on caring for those who need it most, working with the community and building a thriving and greener future for Wokingham Borough.
We took the difficult short-term decisions needed to stabilise the council’s finances whilst ensuring we could continue to support those most in need. The unprecedented financial pressures on local government are not reducing and we have looked ahead to ensure that the council can remain able to meet the needs of local people.
We have established long-term plans across the council’s responsibilities so that we can continue to deliver for residents. These include spending to save for the future and early interventions to deliver better outcomes and reduce the long-term demand for services. We have worked closely with partners, including the voluntary sector, using their knowledge, expertise and resources to help us deliver.
With your support, we have stood up for the borough’s interests, demanding fairness from central government on funding and on housing targets.
We have delivered on many of the promises we made and will work tirelessly to deliver those remaining. We are proud of what we have achieved and we have the vision, the plans and the energy to continue our work.
Already, we are seeing the results with Wokingham being assessed independently as amongst the leading local authorities in adult social care, social housing, attainment in schools, learning disability, road maintenance, employment and other areas.

A Liberal Democrat controlled council will allow us to continue our work, helping those who need it most, working as a community, and ultimately creating a thriving, greener future for everyone who lives here.
In challenging times for our country and our community, Liberal Democrats have led the council responsibly and compassionately, meeting the most urgent needs of residents and making the changes needed to make our borough better in the long term.
There is much more that needs to be done and we cannot afford a return to the short-term and complacent Conservative management of the past 20 years. We have achieved a lot in a short time and have the energy, enthusiasm and experience to continue.
Please back us so that we can continue our work to make Wokingham Borough a great place to live.
