Clive Jones, the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Wokingham is supporting all those impacted by the infected blood scandal in their call for long-overdue justice.
This week, I want to focus on what I believe is an area of council work on which there ought to be broad agreement – the need to align the borough council’s priorities more closely with the aspirations of the people it serves.
Barkham Solar Farm, the first of its kind in Wokingham Borough, is now expected to generate an income of £2.7 million a year, more than five times the original forecast.
The strategy aims to ensure the right homes are built in the right places and increase the quality and quantity of affordable housing in the Borough.
Statement from Clive Jones on the concerning situation at Reading Football Club:
As councillors gear up for the local elections in a few weeks’ time, this seems a good moment to take stock and reflect on what has been achieved by your borough council since last May. Here are a few of the highlights.
Space is no longer science fiction – it underpins our economy, security, and daily lives. Our new policy will renew the National Space Strategy, support UK spaceports and hubs, and designate space as a strategic industry.
The UK’s asylum system is failing, leaving people fleeing conflict stuck in temporary housing, unable to work, and separated from their loved ones. Our new policy gives practical solutions to clear up the broken system left by the Conservatives.
The Online Safety Act was meant to protect people, yet its flawed implementation risks undermining privacy, free expression, and secure communication. Our new policy addresses our concerns and fights for a digital future where rights are protected.
