the lowest level of deprivation.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> We have not cut services, rather we are opening leisure centres, and community centres, and libraries.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> We unusually collect bins every week.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> Our financial management and prudence are rated by CIPFA as amongst one of the best <span class="GramE">despite</span> having one of the

increase in housing numbers for Wokingham.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> Every field, tree and blade of grass lost is deeply painful to me.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> I am delighted that the Planning Reforms have been officially abandoned, but it is still necessary to substantially lower housing numbers in the Borough, giving control from developers to the local authority and residents.<span

of the <span class="GramE">whole hearted</span> support of our professional team of Officers and Directors who are second to none.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> They espouse the &lsquo;can do&rsquo; innovative behaviour that I wanted, and in making mistakes learning from them without fear of censure.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> We have done some remarkable things.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> I have been proud to be at the head of such a brilliant organisation, and well done to all.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> Working with Susan Parsonage, John Kaiser and Graham Ebers has been fun, stimulating, creative and very effective.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> We are truly blessed to have had them.<span style="">&nbsp;</span> I wish them all well and I thank them from the bottom of my
