From the Chamber: Moving forwards in Wokingham
This week, with the Prime Minister and his cabinet, we have seen what happens when your leadership team do not work well together.

It has been my pleasure to work with your excellent Parish Council over the past year.
Over the last few weeks, I have spoken with more than 2,000 residents of the borough on their doorsteps or in the street. They have a wide variety of views on national and local matters, but one theme kept coming up.
Last week Wokingham Borough Council staff and partners attended the launch of the Berkshire Domestic Abuse and Suicide Prevention Toolkit.
What a pleasure it was to see so many people out for the community litter pick in March. I split my time between Arborfield and Barkham, spending most of it in roadside gulleys pulling out all kinds of things.
Thank you to the electors of Wokingham Borough for turning out in large numbers to vote in last week’s local elections. Turnout everywhere was up, which is an encouraging sign that local democracy is in robust health.
