Have your say on vision for Wokingham

RESIDENTS are being asked their views on the draft community vision as part of Wokingham Borough Council’s journey towards creating a plan that reflects the hopes, aspirations, and priorities of residents across the borough.

The draft community vision has been developed by partners from a range of organisations through extensive engagement with residents, stakeholders, and local groups over several months.

Once finalised it will represent a shared commitment to building a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable community where everyone has the opportunity to flourish.

During the six-week consultation period, which will run until Friday, June 28, residents of Wokingham Borough are invited to have their say on the draft vision and help shape the future of the community.

This is an opportunity for individuals from all walks of life to share their thoughts, ideas, and priorities for the borough’s growth and development.

While the consultation will primarily take place online, there are ways for residents to participate and provide their feedback.

Residents can complete the online survey available on Engage Wokingham Borough, the council’s consultation platform.
