Welcome to my homepage and blog!

I’m Jamie Wake and I’m a Community Campaigner in Whitley, Reading, Berkshire. I was a Council Candidate in the 2011 local elections and stood again as an Independent Candidate in the 2012 local elections to represent Whitley.  I came 4th and no doubt, I will stand again in the 2014 local elections!

Being an Independent Candidate means that I’m not subject to party politics and can genuinely meet the needs of local residents rather than the needs of a political party.

If elected, I promise to:

• Continue to listen to residents and be accessible at all times
• Represent the rights and needs of our area on the council and make sure that my vote on the council is used for the benefit of Residents
• Protect valuable services used by people in our area and ensure that vulnerable adults and children get the support that they need
• Work with residents, local police teams  and Neighbourhood Action Groups to cut crime in  our area
• Fight for investment in our neighbourhoods to help build cleaner, stronger, safer communities
• Continue to fight against discrimination in our ward as well as Reading

Unlike previous years candidates across the parties, I actually live in the Whitley ward and I believe that I am best placed to represent the needs of my neighbours.

If you’re a Resident in Whitley, please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
