Using the Government's Household Support Fund, the Hardship Alliance turned a £60,000 investment in energy efficient devices into an estimated £150,000 savings this winter alone.
With consistently low funding from the Government, high inflation and increasing residents’ needs, Wokingham Borough Council must always look to increase efficiency and make good return on investment to protect vital services.
With the borough council needing to make difficult budget decisions and ensure a safe financial future, it is seeking residents’ views on how best to balance books and protect services.

Along with most local authorities in the country, Wokingham Borough Council is facing an extremely challenging financial position caused by high inflation, increasing resident needs and years of continuous low funding from Government.
