HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE AND POTHOLE REPAIR PLAN 2018/2019 UPDATE REPORT The Director of Environment and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report informing the Sub-Committee of a £643,000 allocation to the Council from additional Department for Transport (DfT) funding for local highways maintenance work in the current Financial Year, and of the progress with the Pothole Repair Plan 2018/2019. The report explained that the £643,000 additional funding was for ‘local highways maintenance, including the repair of potholes, to keep local bridges and structures open and safe, as well as to help aid other minor highway works that may be needed’, and was in addition to funding already awarded to the Council from the DfT Pothole Action Fund and Pothole and Flood Resilience Funding. A table in the report set out the proposed allocation of the funding in the highway maintenance areas of: Pothole Repairs / Pothole Repair Plan 2018/2019; Major Roads Resurfacing; Minor Roads Surfacing; Footway Reconstruction and Bridges / Structures. The report explained that as in previous years, a Pothole Repair Plan had been set up for 2018/19 to enable potholes of a lesser depth than the Council’s normal investigatory criteria to be repaired. Potholes for inclusion in the Pothole Repair Plan 2018/19 were being identified by Neighbourhood Officers through highway inspections and/or following ad hoc reports received by the Council. Officers had been selecting the roads from their respective inspection areas on a priority/needs basis to ensure a fair distribution of work across the Borough. The 2018/19 Plan had commenced in October 2018 and would be continuing through to 31 March 2019; as at 14 December 2018 410 potholes had been repaired under the Plan and it was estimated that in the region of 1700 potholes would be repaired by the end of March. The Plan was operating concurrently with the statutory highway inspection regime and delivered using existing in-house Council Highway Operative resources and equipment.

  • Reading Blue Coat School
    BLHA Newsletter Chairman's Corner This will be the first Newsletter edited by John Chapman. I know he has many good ideas for its future, and would like to wish him well. As a well-known military historian, his servi- ces must be in great demand at present, so taking on this task cannot have been easy. Members of the committee are particularly keen to let the member societies know what the Association is doing, and what it can do for them. We want the Newsletter to be read as widely as possible by members of member societies. And we would like to hear what the societies are doing. There are around 40 of them, but we only hear regularly from about a dozen in the Newsletter. A recent change in the committee has been brought about by Elias Kupfermann volunteering his services. He is well-known in Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough as a local historian, and I would like to welcome him. There are a number of jobs which need to be done, and I hope he soon finds his niche, and can be formally elected at the next A.G.M. Incidentally, I notice that the Constitution of the Association says that the officers and committee members should “normally” retire after five years. To my surprise, I find that I was first elected in 2009, so I’ve already done my five years! And as for most of the rest of the committee . It needs thinking about. I was pleased to be invited to present the Berkshire History Prize this year: please see the short report and photograph later in this issue.

  • Reading's Slave Links Quiz
    READING’S SLAVE LINKS QUIZ Answers 1. The mural (RG1 4PS) celebrates neglected hero(ines)–from Queen Nefertiti to Marcus Garvey–and includes Black role models: Harriet Tubman, who escaped from slavery and guided others to freedom as a conductor of the Underground Railroad from the American South, author and abolitionist Olaudah Equinao and Toussaint L’Ouverture, one of the leaders of the successful slave revolt against the French in Saint Domingue, that established independant Haiti. 2. Albion Terrace (RG1 5BL now 45 London Rd) was built between 1825-35 by a local architect Richard Billing. It was bought by General Robert Haynes (1769-1851) a notable planter in Barbados, owning several large family estates mainly in St John Parish, and became Lieutenant-General of the militia and Speaker of the Barbados Assembly. Under the terms of the Anti Slavery Act of 1833, in 1836 he was paid £5404 8s 4d by the British government in compensation for the lossof 243 slaves. He is buried in St Giles churchyard, Reading (RG1 2SB). 3. Daniel Blagrove (1603-68) was elected MP for Reading in 1640. One of the ‘regicides’ who signed the death warrant of King Charles I, he was rewarded with Cardiff Hall estate, Jamaica by Oliver Cromwell. Accounts of Thomas Blagrove, 1767 credit: Berkshire Record Office D/EX1271/1 Inventory of slaves on the Pembroke estate, 1774 credit: Berkshire Record Office D/EX1271/1 The Berkshire Record Office holds many historical documents relating to local involvement to the slave trade.

Most significantly, the barn was converted into a dwelling, with rebuilding of the walls and a range of rooms added at the north in the 19th century, and a later (20th century) extension at its southern end. Several features of the barn have been retained and the roof structure is intact and in good condition. The proposed renovation will not substantially alter the building as it currently exists.
