Members of the Conservative party claim the borough council’s net debt stands at £83 million, which has appeared in Facebook adverts and leaflets for UllaKarin Clark, their candidate for Emmbrook. The material states: “The independent auditor [Ernst & Young] says our net debt is £83 million against £1.3 billion in assets. Do you believe them or the Liberal Democrats trying to win your vote?” Ernst & Young [EY] are the council’s officially appointed auditors. The Liberal Democrats claim that EY have not endorsed the £83 million in net debt figure, and have therefore called on the Conservatives to apologise and remove the adverts. Senior Liberal Democrat Councillor Clive Jones said: “The Conservatives should apologise for seriously misleading the public with this false statement.
Here are the Labour candidates who are competing for seats on Wokingham Borough Council:
Andy Croy, Bulmershe and Whitegates
Andy Croy, Labour candidate for Bulmershe & Whitegates ward.
Cllr Andy Croy has served as a councillor for Bulmershe and Whitegates, and is the leader of the Wokingham Labour party. Cllr Croy grew up on a council estate in Wokingham, served in the reserve Forces and taught in Sudan and Kenya before changing career to become an accountant. He has one grown up son who, like Andy, was educated at The Forest School, Winnersh. For two years Andy was the only Labour councillor in the borough chamber, but now leads a group of four Labour councillors. The party is seeking to gain more seats to provide ‘real opposition’ to the Conservatives who dominate the Council.
People in Wokingham hit with council tax increase PEOPLE in Wokingham have been hit with a council tax increase.
Wokingham Borough Council has approved plans for a 4.99 per cent hike in 2021/22, meaning people living in Band D properties will see their annual bill rise to £1,620.14. According to the Conservative-run council, 3 per cent of that increase will generate income that can only be spent on caring for elderly and vulnerable adults in Wokingham. Additional precepts that raise money for the Thames Valley Police, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue and your local parish council will also be added to that bill. The increase was approved by a majority verdict, after the ruling Tories said they need it because the cost of providing council services continues to rise but funding from central government has dried up.
