From the Leader: People Power in Action
In the past, the council produced strategies and then consulted on them. The idea of the Communities Vision is to bring in the public at the beginning, rather than the end.

A number of Wokingham Town and Borough councillors attended and contributed to the Lib Dem spring party conference in Harrogate at the weekend (21-23 March).
Liberal Democrats joined councillors of other parties in supporting the principle of not charging for car parking at sports facilities, but made clear that pressure on the council’s finances would need to be considered in future consideration.
A motion proposed by Liberal Democrat Councillor, Andy NG Siu-hong, calling for the council to write to the Deputy Prime Minister opposing the plans for a “super-embassy” of the Chinese Communist Party in London, was passed at its meeting last night.
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.
Only the Liberal Democrats will stand up to Trump, invest in the UK’s security, support Ukraine, hold back Russia, deepen our ties with European and commonwealth partners, and stand up for liberal, British values.
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
The Liberal Democrats' bold plan to restore UK leadership in science and innovation will drive investment, boost global collaboration, and ensure technology benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.
