The big story from the local elections in Wokingham last week was that the Liberal Democrats have become the largest party on the Borough Council—while the once-dominant Conservatives lost more seats.
But there were also elections for town councils in the borough. These are responsible for providing and maintaining services such as parks, play areas, allotments, bus shelters and bins.
Elections took place in three town councils in Wokingham. These were Wokingham Town, Woodley Town and Earley Town.
Here’s an overview of the councillors elected in each. You can explore each one in more detail at https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/council-and-meetings/elections-and-voting/borough-council-election-results-2023/
