crossroads, a couple of themost difficult problems in theBorough.“In May you have a chance toelect another hard workingcouncillor to serve alongsideus. Paul is just as keen,dedicated and determined tomake a difference as we are.“Please vote for Paul on 2nd

May. He will stand up for youand do his absolute best foreveryone in Winnersh.”

Lib Dem candidate for Winnersh Paul Fishwicksays, “I have recently retired following 43 years inlocal government working in Highways andTransport, and I want to use my skills andenthusiasm to put something back into thecommunity where you and I live. And that’s why I amstanding as the Lib Dem candidate in Winnersh in theWokingham Borough Council elections on 2nd May.

Locally we have 2 Lib Dem councillors already, PrueBray and Rachelle Shepherd-DuBey. Everyone inWinnersh knows about them and the great work theydo. They have a good name for hard work, and for

being effective, approachable and caring about theircommunity. That’s the sort of councillor I want to beas well. This May will be my chance to join them onthe borough council.

I have already been working alongside Prue andRachelle on local problems in my role as a parishcouncillor. I have had success with getting streetlights fixed and pot holes repaired and now I want todo more. I have spent my whole life dealing withroads and transport, and I think my expertise couldbe really useful in helping with the many issues wehave in Winnersh and Sindlesham.

The status quo is not good enough. It’s time to demand better for our area.

Please give me the opportunity to work alongside Prue and Rachelle in representingyou and doing what is in the best interests of our community. Thank you!”

The Lib Dems wantmore emphasis onaffordable housing tomeet local people’sneeds. We would likemore bungalows and1, 2 and 3 bed houses,rather than the 4, 5and 6 bed houses thatsuit developers.

And we are still campaigning for:Better School Funding

Peach Place contractorgoes BUST!The council’s contractor who is building Peach Place has gone bust.The Lib Dems say,“This is bound to leadto delays and costincreases.“Peach Place shouldhave been finished lastNovember, but, like theMarket Place project,has considerablyoverrun.

“When things havesettled down, we want the Council to show they have learned fromthis, so that it won’t happen again to other projects.”
