Shameful from the West Berks Conservatives.
An opportunity to stand together for all residents across West Berks missed.
After all we are all impacted by this Government's unfair funding settlement as residents or councillors.
Perhaps they are all off to meet Nige at Reform...

Despite further clarification from the Chief Constable I remain concerned on the approach taken by British Transport Police with regards to bicycle theft at rail stations.
Across West Berkshire we have 10 stations - and the bicycle plays an important part to help travelers get to and from stations.

Great to be out in North East Thatcham this afternoon.
So much support out there for what your local Liberal Democrats are doing at West Berkshire - continuing to clean up after 18 years of Conservative neglect.
Vote Liberal Democrat on 24th April.

It's an immense privilege to represent my ward, Newbury Clay Hill, and 2024 saw another busy year!
The New Year is always a great time to reflect, and below are a few of my highlights from 2024.
Most important to me however is always representing, and helping my ward residents!
