Wokingham

Wokingham District Council’s website at www.wokingham.gov.uk has been redesigned and restructured with less jargon and clearer page design. And on January 12, members of the council’s web team will be on hand at Wokingham library to explain the new features of the site and answer questions from users.

As well as providing information, the website is now more interactive and allows residents to do many things instantly, online, which would otherwise require a phone call, letter or even a visit to the council offices. Anyone who hasn’t got access to the internet at home can use the computers in the district’s libraries, or a computer in reception at the civic offices in Shute End, Wokingham, for free access to the site.

Users can go online to pay Wokingham council tax, submit comments on planning applications, renew library books and pay parking fines, as well as a host of other tasks, and can find information about waste collections, council meetings, school catchment areas and local clubs, among many other council services. There is also a brand new postcode search facility where residents can look up their property for links to useful information about property prices, council tax, waste collections, nearby doctors and other details of their immediate area.

Anyone who would like to see the new features in action, or find out how to perform a task online, can drop in at any time during the day to meet the web team and learn all about the new site or pass on their feedback.
