Summary
Located in the heart of the Thames Valley, the Royal Borough is rich in areas of natural beauty and green space arrayed around three distinct towns and several unique villages. Much of our population have happy and secure childhoods, go on to work in well-paid roles and enjoy a high quality of life, supported by an active, skilled, and caring volunteer community who regularly give their time and energy to a range of causes. This helps people of all ages to connect with each other and enjoy a significantly longer life than the national average. However, this can mask inequalities and there are concentrations of disadvantage and poverty across the Borough where the contrasts are stark: a 6.1-year gap exists in life expectancy between boys born in the least and most deprived areas of RBWM. As a result, one of the Councils five strategic aims is People live healthy and independent lives in supportive communities.
