Twyford West & Charvil

Twyford West & Charvil form a semi-rural ward in Wokingham Borough centred on the western side of Twyford and the village of Charvil. The River Loddon runs close by and the area includes flood meadows, a network of public footpaths and a conservation interest around the old Twyford Waterworks, an intact Victorian pumping station and nature reserve that sits beside the river. Twyford railway station provides frequent rail links to Reading and to London, which shapes a mix of commuting and local life.

Local services cluster along village streets: primary schools, a village hall, small shops and sports pitches serve residents, while allotments and fields provide open space. Community groups run events through the year and volunteer groups help manage riverside paths and the Waterworks site. Planning and flood management are recurring themes for the area because of the nearby river and low-lying land, so local policy and neighbours often focus on river corridors, access to green space and maintaining footpath connections between the settlements.
