Imogen Shepherd-DuBey – Wokingham Borough Council

It was an eventful meeting, this month. Not only did the Council Leader resign as leader, one other Conservative Councillor went independent. We had a debate on the Barkham Square development, public questions about how Brexit will affect Wokingham Borough and the development of the land next to the Thames.

I managed to ask a question about how we can best manage the graffiti problems in the Woosehill Subway, the road resurfacing in Joel Park and why Jubilee Avenue was missed. I also raised the concerns about the lack of input into the sign off large contracts.

We debated and agreed three motions – a long awaited requirement to include sprinklers in ALL new school buildings, a motion on the handling protected trees and lastly, writing a letter from the Borough about our need to keep our Post Office services and protecting their jobs.
