A large amount of what the council does is not universal or is less obvious.
Slough, Woking, Thurrock, Kent, Birmingham - these are just a few of the councils, of all political colours, in severe financial difficulties at present. The list grows by the week.
This week, I want to provide three more examples of the way in which the council is seeking to plan ahead and secure improvements in the years to come.
Most of us would agree that councils should prioritize helping those who most need help, such as children and adults with physical or mental challenges.
Congatulations to Lou Timlin, who won the Wescott East By-Election on 24th August, becoming the latest councillor on Wokingham Town Council.
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.
