Council Plan

We are excited to share Wokingham Borough Council's new plan 2025 - 2030. This is our promise to continue to work together to make our communities vibrant and welcoming for everyone. 

This plan is informed and shaped by the longer-term Wokingham Communities Vision, and we have set out the Council’s contributions to the six ambitions created by our communities. 

Over the past year, we’ve engaged with around 5000 residents, colleagues, and partners to understand their priorities. This plan reflects our shared ambition and outlines our aspirations for our borough. 

We are proud to be an award-winning council and are committed to continue providing high-quality support and services that meet the needs of our communities. Everything in this plan is designed to build a better Wokingham Borough for current and future generations.

We want Wokingham Borough to be a place where everyone can thrive. Together, we can achieve our shared ambitions and create even stronger communities in a borough that we are proud to call home.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

Stephen Conway, Leader of Wokingham Borough Council

Susan Parsonage, Chief Executive

Introduction

Our aim is to create a borough where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We are committed to empowering our community and listening to those with lived experiences to shape the services we provide.

Our plan outlines the Council’s focus for the next five years. It details our priorities, how we measure progress, and how we aim to achieve our ambitions.

We have considered our communities' needs, current priorities, projects, and the challenging economic and environmental conditions. Our plan helps us focus our limited budget on the essential services we have a duty to provide and tackling the issues our residents care most about.

The breadth and depth of our partnership ambition and harnessing of community power is what makes us distinctive. We see our role as enablers, and we want to inspire rather than control action in others.

We are investing where we can in place, people and partnerships, so that our communities lead gloriously ordinary lives now, and in the years to come.
