I have lived in different parts of the borough for more than thirty years.

My children both went to school here.

As with many others in the Thames Valley, I built my career in the IT and Telecoms sectors and ended up running a number of mid-sized businesses.

READERS LETTERS: As seen in Wokingham.Today of April 29, 2021

I also owned and ran my own small business.

Since moving here, I have seen the Borough expand by around a third, which is huge. And it’s still growing, very fast. Wokingham has been a great place for me to live, and I want to ensure that is also true for the next generation.
