Cllr Pauline Jorgensen, Leader of the Conservative Group, said: “We are committed to putting residents and local businesses at the heart of everything we do. We have listened to residents, and we know that these are policies they care about. They want a council that will get on with delivering services and value for money.
“Wokingham Borough is a great place to live, raise a family and do business – and we want to build on this success. We want thriving town centres – that’s why we will freeze parking charges. We want residents to have their say so we will ensure consultations are meaningful. And we are committed to supporting the expansion of Bohunt School as we want a good education for your children in the borough.”
