On Saturday I joined three Emmbrook Councillors and went door knocking to talk to people in Emmbrook. The main preoccupations were with local matters. Several wanted more action to tackle vehicle congestion and improve road access to Wokingham. One person expressed concern about the impact of Town Centre redevelopment and the Station link road. There was general displeasure at the way utility companies dig up the centres of the roads and causes problems for many weeks at a time. No-one raised the EU or the UK economy as issues. Most were pleased with local services, and several thought the blue bag waste system has now settled in and is delivering lower waste charges for Council taxpayers.
