Wokingham Borough Council
Wokingham borough’s vision is to be ‘a great place to live, learn, work and grow and a great place to do business’ and is at the heart of all that we do, both in children’s social care and adult social care.
Amongst the organisation’s priorities are enriching lives, safe, strong communities, and changing the way we work for our borough.
To get a flavour of how we work, these five values underpin everything we do to support vulnerable adults, children, young people and their families:
- We focus on making a difference
- We aim high
- We are strategic, efficient and effective
- We value our people
- We drive partnership, collaboration and coproduction
Location
Wokingham Borough is set in the heart of Berkshire with excellent transport links to Reading and Central London. Our area comprises of a vibrant and historical market town, attractive villages, and miles of beautiful countryside.
We’re home to a range of high performing schools including 69 primary and 21 secondary, a host of international businesses and an incredible community. We have a strong local economy with accelerated growth, a range of excellent public facilities and low levels of crime, offering an exceptional quality of life.
Over the last five years we’ve been regenerating Wokingham town centre to help deliver our masterplan vision, for an even more vibrant and economically successful town centre. Changes through the regeneration include a new public square with shops, bars and restaurants, homes at Peach Place, cafes, cinema, a supermarket, a hotel, and a landscaped park with destination play area.
Wokingham Borough Council is also aiming to become a Marmot Borough over the next few years.
