Wokingham MP Clive Jones has blasted the Government’s fair funding review for shortchanging his constituency. The local council faces a whopping £43 million cut in government funding, sparking outrage.
Council Funds Slashed by £43 Million
The pinch comes as Wokingham Borough Council grapples with a huge reduction, threatening essential local services. Residents and officials alike are left fuming over what they see as unfair treatment.
Government Defends Funding Shake-Up
Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness, Alison McGovern MP, said:
“We promised to reconnect funding to deprivation — and this final Settlement delivers on that promise. With more new funding, we’re giving councils the certainty they need to plan ahead and transform services.”
But for Wokingham, the numbers just don’t add up.
