Councils and councillors are not universally loved. On social media, particularly, they come in for a lot of criticism. While some of the attacks may be justified, many more are based on limited engagement with councils and councillors.
I’m excited to share an exclusive preview of a series of free arts and cultural activities coming to Wokingham Borough in 2025. These events are designed to strengthen our connection with the natural world and raise awareness about the climate emergency.
With so many alarming developments on the international stage in the last few weeks, it seems more important than ever to count our blessings.
We want Wokingham Borough to be a place where everyone can thrive. This is what we aim for with the Wokingham Communities Vision. But right now, not everyone has the same chance to thrive.
It is great to be in the position to share several pieces of good news from Children’s Services.
