Reading s new councillors Three new councillors have been elected to Reading Borough Council (RBC) last week, including a former Zimbabwean diplomat and a former advisor to the McCann family. There were 17 councillors in total elected in Reading last week at the local elections, with voting taking place on Thursday, May 6, and the winners confirmed at the count on Friday. Just three of the 17 are new councillors, however, with each of the new members winning after a councillor had stood down from their role. The three councillors also represent three different political parties. Two of them come from the same party as the retiring councillor, while the other won by just 10 votes to secure a gain for their party.

James Gore (@James Gore1) May 7, 2021 Talking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), Reading’s Green group leader Rob White said the election was “really positive”. “He’s been working hard all year round, knocking on doors, talking to people, working to improve the area. “We hoped based on that hard work that people would vote Green and it is reassuring when they do go out and vote for someone that is making the difference. “He has also been standing up for residents on things the east Reading MRT, he has pledged to protect the Thameside, and he’s been working really hard on the campaign we’ve been running to get the council to insulate more houses in the town.”
