Join us for informal chat with like-minded people on Monday 10th March 2025 from 18:30 to 21:00 at The Orchard on Archer’s Way. Meet your councillors to find out what they are working on and hoping to achieve. Bring your questions and join the conversation!

If an evening get-together doesn’t work for you, give Sam Covington a call on 07754 162 745 and we’ll see what we can arrange for something during the day – perhaps a get-together over coffee?

Looking forward to meeting you!

Join us for a pint of a beverage of your choice and chit chat with friendly liberal faces from the Reading Lib Dems. Whether you care deeply about beer, politics or anything in between - come along and meet other friendly Redingsians.

On Tuesday 11th March (7.30-9.00 pm), Mark Elliott, Councillor for Lansdown ward and Cabinet Member for Resources, will outline the Council's approved budget for the coming financial year. 

He will explain how council budgets are structured in general, and how this year's careful, balanced budget, protects the most vulnerable in our communities and tries to mitigate against the huge unpredictability and uncertainty we face, while at the same time manages, despite the prevailing uncertainty, to make some important moves in meeting our manifesto commitments.

As well as understanding the specifics, this is an excellent opportunity to find out more about how local government raises and spends money, and to get answers to specific questions you may have. 

Mark has a great ability to make this subject clear and engaging, so do sign up for this zoom event as soon as possible.
