 Still time to take nature survey
There’s still time for you to respond to the survey on Berkshire’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
The document will act as a blueprint for nature across the county, including in Wokingham Borough.
The survey wants your thoughts on nature in Berkshire, what your priorities are for nature recovery, how you'd like to achieve them, and which species are important for you.
You can register to join an online session on Eventbrite to give your views. It runs from 6.30pm to 8pm on Tuesday (30 April).
Or you can take the online survey, which is open until Tuesday 7 May. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.
 Primary school places offered
Ninety-nine per cent of children have been offered a place at one of their preferred primary schools, with more than 90 per cent getting their top choice.
This was part of National Offer Day for infant and primary schools last week, with almost 2,000 children given their offers ahead of starting school for the first time.
More than 500 children who will also be starting junior school, with 99.5 per cent getting one of their preferred schools.
To formally accept or decline the school offered to your child, log in to your Citizen's Portal Account. This must be completed by Wednesday 1 May.
