The Thatcham Colthrop & Crookham ward sits on the eastern edge of Thatcham in West Berkshire, straddling suburban housing, pockets of older village settlement at Crookham and the more industrial Colthrop area. It’s set beside the Kennet floodplain and within easy reach of the A4, M4 and Thatcham railway station, so many residents commute to nearby centres such as Reading and Newbury.
Locally the ward combines a strong commercial presence - with distribution yards and business parks around Colthrop - with important green spaces and wildlife interest, including reedbeds and river corridor habitats on the Kennet. Thatcham itself has notable ancient roots, with Mesolithic and later finds nearby, and the ward retains a mix of long‑standing village community character alongside modern housing and light industry.
