Councillor Keith Baker, who has served on the council since 2006, was elected Mayor of Wokingham Borough yesterday (Thursday, May 20). Cllr Baker said: “Being the first citizen of the borough is an amazing honour, which very few councillors actually achieve, and I am extremely humbled to become one of this small group. “In many respects I’m quite old fashioned, in that I believe being mayor is something you earn through your contribution to public life, and not simply because it’s your turn. ....
The leader of Wokingham Borough Council has traded barbs with a prominent Labour activist over mandatory voter ID proposals. The clash came when Labour activist Andy Croy urged Councillor John Halsall (Conservative), the leader of the council, to write to MPs to oppose the proposals at the full council meeting yesterday (Thursday, May 20). Mr Croy said: “The Government’s plan to introduce a requirement for photographic identification before allowing people to exercise their right to vote will disenfranchise Wokingham Borough residents who do not have photo ID. “Depending on the forms of ID allowed, about eight per cent of electors do not have photo ID. I am sure no member of this Council will wish to see voter suppression on this or scale or indeed any attempt at voter suppression. Will the Leader of the Council write to the Borough’s MPs to express Council’s opposition to voter suppression and to urge the MPs to speak out against these measures and to ....
The leader of the Wokingham Conservatives has celebrated after the party held the line in the Local Elections 2021. The result saw the Conservatives hold on to their majority on the council and unseat the leader of the Wokingham Labour party Andy Croy. However, the Liberal Democrats gained three seats at the expense of the Conservatives, as six Conservative councillors chose to retire ahead of the elections. Giving his opinion on the result, re-elected councillor and Wokingham Conservative leader John Halsall said: “I’m really pleased with the result, we have the same majority as we were. “We have lost some great and good councillors. I thank Dianne King for her outstanding service on the executive, UllaKarin Clark for her long service as a councillor, Charlotte Haitham-Taylor for her leadership and her support, and Malcolm Richards, who has been a great mayor in such difficult circumstances. I would also like to thank Oliver Whittle, Emma Hobbs a ....

The Labour Party in Wokingham borough was left reeling after its party leader was defeated in this year’s local elections. Andy Croy has served as a Labour Councillor for Bulmershe & Whitegates since 2016. Mr Croy had served as the Labour group leader on Wokingham Borough Council. However, in the 2021 elections, Mr Croy was dethroned by Shahid Younis, the Conservative party candidate. It was one of the biggest moments when results were revealed on Saturday, May 8. Speaking on what him and his party will be doing next after his defeat, Mr Croy said: “We’ll carry on. If you’re on the Left of politics there’s the idea of the struggle, and it’s a struggle for a reason, because it’s not easy, because there’s set backs, and when those things happen, you don’t just crawl away, we don’t just give up, we come back stronger, we come back better, and we retake the things that we’ve lost and try and take the seats we haven’t won this time next y ....
