Jane Ainslie, Lib Dem
I have lived in Wokingham for over 20 years where I brought up my son and daughter who went to St Crispin’s and Holt secondary, and who are currently both studying at Birmingham University. As a family we enjoy the bustling feel of a self-contained town with easy access to the countryside. I have been actively involved in the community as a school governor at 2 local schools for over 15 years, coaching my daughter’s football team for 6 years and supporting the Syrian refugee resettlement programme over the past 5 years. My particular interest is around education especially special educational needs and mental health issues.

I was born and grew up in Norreys. I went to Keephatch Primary and then to St Crispins. Both schools have changed so much since I went and it’s great to see that they are getting the investment needed to give our children the best start in life.
The Wokingham of today is a significant improvement over the one I grew up in. A lot of that is due to the investment decisions of our Conservative-led Wokingham Borough Council.
I, for one, will never forget that Liberal Democrats in Wokingham protested against all of the redevelopment. They wanted to build a ‘dark warehouse’ rather than the beautiful new town, public squares, shops, play parks and leisure spaces that we all now enjoy.
I am hugely Proud of Wokingham and what it has become, and so proud to be a part of the Conservative team that had the vision and determination to deliver it.
Wokingham is much better than it was ten years ago, but there is still more to be done.
I want to be your councillor and work alongside your Conservative Councillors Gregor Murray and Phil Cunningham to make Norreys an even better place to live.
Our town has been transformed in the last ten years and continues to benefit from fantastic new facilities opening. The new play park at Cantley is amazing and my 2 boys love playing there.
Medical provision is so important and keeping it local is key which is why I’m fighting to keep a GP at Burma Hills surgery and I will not stop campaigning until the CCG and Wokingham Medical Centre have done as they promise. I remember my mum having to drag 3 sons to Burma Hills each time one of us or herself was ill, this would have been far harder on her if she had to go into town.
Many of you have spoken to me on the doorsteps about speeding and traffic. I have already had a meeting with the leader of WBC to raise your concerns and as a result there will be a new safe crossing for Mulberry View. I will soon meet with Thames Valley Police.
I’m talking to you about what is important to me. However, I want to understand more about your priorities so please reach out and share these. Hopefully I will knock on your door soon but feel free to call or email me.
