I live in Lower Earley surrounded by Laurel Park and Maiden Erlegh Lake, having moved here with my husband in 1984. When we moved in the early 1980’s, this was a new town with great transport links.
I moved here with my wife Pauline in 1984 for employment opportunities and we identified Earley as a great place to live with good facilities and a friendly community. Until the pandemic we commuted from here to work in opposite directions along the M4.
I have lived in Emmbrook with my husband and 3 children since 1986. My husband was born in Wokingham town and we are now the 4th generation living here. I have been a Wokingham Borough Councillor since May 2003 and was honoured to serve as Mayor for two years. I have also represented Emmbrook on Wokingham Town Council and served for 17 years including two as Town Mayor.
Since I became a Town Councillor 2 years ago, I have been working hard for Evendons residents. Every day I strive to repay those who put their trust in me. I am now asking for your support again as I want to represent you on the Borough Council as a strong voice; to not only speak out for residents but to get things done.
Many will already know Phil as a town councillor and for the work he has done and continues doing at that level. Having being involved in many local campaigns to improve life in Norreys Ward and across the Town, Phil wants to become a Borough Councillor to be able to make a real difference for residents.
Jackie has lived in the Borough since the Eighties. She runs a well-established, cleaning business employing a team of 30 local cleaners and enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and at her Millworth Lane allotment.
I passionately believe that you need to live in the ward to truly represent and be able to respond to the issues impacting residents. I have lived here in Wescott Ward since the age of 9 and was educated at Westende & St. Crispin’s schools.
I will be a strong voice for the people of Winnersh and have already started working closely with a number of residents, the council and other stakeholders on issues such as flooding, HMO’s and antisocial behaviour. This is what drives me - an insatiable ambition to improve people’s quality of life and to serve the community.
