Politics

Berkshire is a ceremonial and traditional county, and it is unusual in England in that it is the only administrative county with no county council. The district councils are unitary authorities but have no county status. In the unitary authorities the Conservatives control the West Berkshire, Wokingham and Bracknell Forest councils, Labour control Reading council, whilst the Liberal Democrats control the Windsor and Maidenhead council. Slough is controlled jointly between the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives.
