    From: Sent: 27 March 2020 11:36 To: [email protected] Subject: GE202003362 - ONR resposne to Wokingham Borough Council Local plan Update Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Sir/Madam, In response to your emails dated 3 February and 18 March regarding the 2020 Wokingham Borough Local Plan Update consultation, please find below ONR’s response, which is provided in line with our Land Use Planning policy published here http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Since ONR responded to the previous draft Local Plan Update consultation on 21 January 2019 (see email below) the proposed development locations included in the draft local plan have significantly changed. Additionally, the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for the AWE Burghfield site has been re-determined by West Berkshire District Council under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 resulting in a larger DEPZ. ONR’s current position remains that we would be likely to object to: • developments within the DEPZ, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. • large scale developments within the circular 5km Outer Consultation Zone (OCZ), which extends beyond the DEPZ from grid reference SU684680, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. ONR has previously responded regarding the two development locations below which are included in both the 2018/19 Local Plan Update consultation and the 2020 Local Plan Update consultation: 1.

  • Report of the Independent Inquiry Into the Care and Treatment of Alexander
    REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF ALEXANDER CAMERON Commissioned by Berkshire Health Authority September 2000 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS On 26 April 1997, Alexander Cameron killed his mother, Mrs Eileen Cameron. Mr Cameron was receiving out-patient treatment at the time, having been discharged from Fair Mile Hospital on 12 December 1994. He was admitted to a secure hospital in May 1997, and he remains detained there, having since been convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. There have already been two reviews of Mr Cameron’s care and treatment during the period before his mother’s death. One of these was an internal review undertaken by members of the NHS trust which manages Fair Mile. The other was undertaken by two external consultant psychiatrists. A third review, more than two years on, was a further source of distress for Mrs Cameron’s daughter, Julie Cameron. We therefore particularly wish to acknowledge the constructive and measured way in which she and her partner helped us. We also wish to acknowledge the way in which the professionals involved in Alexander Cameron’s care and treatment worked with us during what was a difficult time for them. Their candour, and commitment to providing the best possible service to local people, was commendable. Such candour is to be encouraged because it is the ultimate test of professionalism. The mature professional who accepts that their practice, or local practice, can be improved upon thereby ensures that the future direction of the service is based, not on falsehood, but on a true, comprehensive, understanding of its current state.

  • Peppard Ward Independent News
    Peppard Ward Independent News Putting People First! Why Independent? Cllr Mark Ralph responds: “When I was first asked to stand for election as a Conservative Councillor in 2004, I did so on the basis that I would not compromise my personal principles.” “Jamie Chowdhary’s deselection and the subsequent vendetta against him by those within Reading East Conservative Association was a disgrace. In-fighting and internal politics were already impeding Conservative Councillors’ ability to serve their residents and the behaviour of the Association’s leadership towards Jamie was such that it was no longer an organisation that I wished to belong to.” Other Conservative Councillors left the Association too but have since crept back, no doubt hoping that no one will notice! Mark says: “As a Ward Councillor, I have always followed the principle of ‘People First, Politics Second’ and in addition to people’s day to day concerns, I am now freer to focus on those things that my residents tell me matter most: quality services, safer communities, support for older residents and vulnerable children, protection of the environment, good schools, more school places, and better value for money for the Council Taxpayer.” Thank You! To all those that voted for “Following Jamie’s experience, I fully expect Jamie Chowdhary in the 2012 Cllr Willis and his colleagues within the elections, thank you. Reading East Conservative Association to We were overwhelmed by the conduct a very unpleasant campaign leading number of people that came up to the 2014 elections. forward to support him and on the day, he took just under I hope that people will see this for what it is 800 votes – unprecedented for and judge me on my many achievements for an Independent but, sadly the residents of Peppard Ward.” insufficient for him to retain his position as a Councillor Councillor Mark Ralph T: 0118 948 1615 E: [email protected] Twitter: @Councillor1UK Website: www.PeppardWard.com Promoted by Jamie Chowdhary, on behalf of the Peppard Independents Organisation of, 16c Upton Road, Reading, RG30 4BJ.
