What are Town Councils and Parish Councils?
A detailed explanation of what Town Councils and Parish Councils are, and what they are responsible for, can be found on our Town and Parish Councils page.
Is there a difference between a Town Council and a Parish Council?
Though they have different names, there is no difference between the functions and responsibilities of a Town Council or a Parish Council.
How can I find my Parish Council?
You can find detailed information about your Parish Council by searching your postcode on the Find your Parish website.
When are the next scheduled elections for my Parish Council?
Set out in the tables below are the next scheduled elections for all Parish Councils in the Wokingham Borough area, and the number of councillors that are to be elected for each Parish Council. For more information regarding the number of councillors to be elected for each parish ward, if applicable, please see the documents at the bottom of this page.
Polls will only be held if there are more candidates than seats after the close of nominations. Information about any casual vacancies that may be open at your Parish Council can be found on our current vacancies page, or on your Parish Council’s website.
