From the Leader: Reasons to be Positive
We could all do with some good news, so I thought it might help if I listed just a few of the borough council’s recent successes.

Could you help in your local library? Recent years have seen severe and increasing pressure on all local authority budgets, including Wokingham’s. The help of volunteers in our libraries is now essential.
Most of the day-to-day contacts we get as Councillors relate to potholes, streetlights and grass cutting, which in financial terms are actually quite a small part of the services we provide.
The UK is facing a mental health emergency. Liberal Democrats have a proud record of pushing Britain’s mental health services forward. Now we are offering the bold solutions we need to fight the crisis unfolding in our communities.
British universities are a world-leading export and an engine for innovation, but today, the sector is at a breaking point. Liberal Democrats have passed a new plan to deliver a fairer deal for students and graduates and secure the future of the sector.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
