ABOUT US
Wokingham is an attractive market town in Berkshire with excellent road and rail links, good schools and low levels of crime. The town is attractive to families and residents who enjoy a high quality of life.
We have recently had a major reorganisation to ensure we provide the best possible services to the people of Wokingham. We are a lean organisation. We have low funding and the smallest number of staff per resident of any unitary authority. We are efficient and effective and achieve a lot thanks to our hard working staff and councillors.
We are determined to continue saving and finding ways to provide better service and value to our communities and residents.
