This year’s candidates
Guy Grandison, Conservatives
Guy is an experienced Town Councillor with a proven record of accomplishments such as, saving Silverdale Centre & further investment in Earley’s parks.
As well as a Councillor he also serves on the ReadiBus Board providing transport to those that need it most.
He is also a qualified Rugby Referee and is keen to promote sports across all ages.
Tahir Maher, Liberal Democrats
Tahir has lived in Earley for over 15 years. He is leading the campaign to SAVE the Maiden Earley Library. Neither Labour, or the Conservatives are supporting his campaign.
Tahir & other Lib Dems supported the campaign to stop the Conservatives expanding Aldryngton School against the wishes of most parents and the school itself.
He has also campaigned to get more money from the Government for Wokingham’s Schools.
Tahir wants to see more recycling in the Borough, especially the kerbside collection of glass. Other Council’s do it so why can’t Wokingham?
Nadine Masseron, Labour
Nadine has lived and worked in Wokingham since 2004. Her daughter goes to a local state school. Nadine is the UK Sales Manager for a locally based food supplement company.
In 2016 Nadine campaigned strongly and successfully on behalf of Earley residents when the Boundary Commission, supported by local Tory Councillors, tried to move Maiden Erlegh ward out of Wokingham and into Reading East constituency.
“I won that battle and I can win this election for Maiden Erlegh. The Tories think they can do whatever they like, whether it’s cutting school budgets, reducing police numbers or imposing above inflation increases in Council Tax. Labour came second here in the General Election and it’s time Wokingham had a real alternative to these out of touch Tories.”
