Wokingham News

Bracknell News:

Wokingham Borough Council has stated to central government that too many houses have been assigned in the new Local Plan update.

In a letter to Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, John Halsall, the leader of Wokingham Borough Council, says Government policies ignore common sense and invite damaging speculation.

He explains in a recent video that he wants the policy to recognise the “big picture” of housing supply, allowing the council’s successes at providing more than required in the short term to be offset by lower numbers in future.
