A Council that works for you

The problem: Residents are often told about decisions after they're made, Council performance isn't reported clearly enough for people to judge for themselves, and companies the Council owns can make decisions affecting residents with no public accountability.

Our fix: Publish Council performance openly, involve residents in decisions before they're finalised, keep services accessible by phone and in person — not digital only — and ensure Reading Buses reports publicly on its service performance on an annual basis so that accountability doesn't end the moment a service is placed at arm's length from the Council.
