While the passing of another election may elicit sighs of relief, we would like to thank all readers of Village Voice that supported us.

Since 2004, the Conservative Group on Reading Borough Council has increased from 3 to 18 Councillors, our votes have increased by 34% and this year our share of the total vote was 40.5% (3,144 more than Labour at 32.2% and 8,736 more than the Lib Dems at 17.6%). The makeup of the Council is now Labour 20, Conservative 18, LibDem 8.

The results for Peppard Ward this year were: Jamie Chowdhary (Conservative) 1,857, Hendry (LibDem) 1,086, Labour 246, Green 116.

Whatever your political affiliations, please call us with any local issues or concerns on the numbers/email addresses below. We will be happy to help.

In the meantime, following Bob Green’s decision to stand down as Peppard Ward Councillor and Leader of the LibDem Group, we take this opportunity to acknowledge his time and contribution as a Councillor and to wish him a healthy and happy retirement.
