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.
