  • 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.

  • North Reading Neighbourhood Policing Monthly Newsletter
    North Reading Neighbourhood Policing Monthly Newsletter The Reading North Neighbourhood Policing Team have had another busy month. We have been dealing with a variety of community issues across theroughs of Caversham, Peppard, Mapledurham and Emmer Green. The main part of Reading North NHPT’s concentration has been aimed at disrupting and preventing anti-social behaviour across the 4 North Reading wards. There has been a variety of ASB that has had a number of different factors to address. We must stress that no job is the same so it does take a considerable about of planning and strategic thinking along with working with our partner agencies to create a positive result. It can also be a rather lengthy process and often cannot be corrected overnight. Mapledurham playing fields, situated off the Upper Woodcote Road has been one of our ASB hotspots with numerous complaints regarding vehicles parking up and playing loud music and doing so into the early hours of the morning. This was firstly brought to our attention via the North Reading Safer Neighbourhood Forum and. We firstly placed the area onto our daily NHPT patrol plan and along with the Problem Solving Team we were able to enhance the police presence and Anti-Social Behaviour “Operation in Progress” signs were placed around the car park. We then spent 4 consecutive nights sitting in the darkest corner of the carpark waiting for the suspects to arrive. We only issued 1 warning but we believe that the message was made clear and will be passed to their friends who more than likely were coming to meet them.

  • Annual Report 2015/2016
    The Berkshire Record Office Annual Report For 2015-2016 Introduction This year has been one of building foundations. The new management team began working together, putting their own plans into place, and also began the process of applying for service accreditation by The National Archives. Being accredited will renew our licence to hold public records, and provide a benchmark that we can be judged against. As part of the accreditation process, we refreshed our aims for the first time since 1991. Though the existing aims held good, they have been updated to acknowledge a changing world – reflecting digital resources, access through technology, and seeing archives not just as a research resource, but as a wider opportunity for historical experience. Within these aims remains a core business rooted in Berkshire’s communities. We seek to inspire local pride and offer direct contact with some very precious and exciting collections. We also seek to maintain the highest standards of collections care, while recognising the need to work sustainably in a world of diminishing resources. Showing relevance, sharing our expertise, and being cost-effective: these are the values that we now plan to take forward. The annual report highlights some of the ways we are beginning to develop them. These include creating a prestigious and valued archive ‘brand’, and then using a variety of public engagement tools to help people make use of what we offer. It goes without saying that we cannot do any of this alone. The annual report is full of partnerships: with volunteers, the University of Reading, the county historical societies, the Wellcome Trust; with our colleagues in the six Berkshire districts; and now, increasingly, with our friends not just locally but online – sharing what we do, and helping to make us relevant.

  • ETC-Local-Green-Space-Response
    __________________________________________________________________________________ EARLEY TOWN COUNCIL Local Green Space Designation General Comments Local Green Space is very important to local communities, as they provide areas of fields, woodlands and general green area for people to utilise in their everyday lives for exercise, enjoyment and general health & wellbeing, which is so important for mental health. Local Green Space not only provides visual amenity to the community, it also provides much needed habitat and green corridors for animals and wildlife. Local Green Space, especially where there are trees is a huge benefit to the environment providing oxygen, anti-pollution barriers and protection and it is vital that the areas are protected as Local Green Space, so they remain in place to support initiatives to tackle the Climate Emergency. As part of Earley Town Council’s submission to Wokingham Borough’s Draft Local Plan Update, 11 areas of Green Space were identified and shadow assessments at the time were carried out in accordance to Section 3: Methodology for Assessment of the Local Green Space Topic Paper. The 11 areas identified were as follow:- Chalfont Woods & Chalfont Park Chalfont Park and Woodland area is a well-established green space enjoyed by local residents with two sides of the park in close proximity to local housing. The park is used for sports activities, including two football pitches supporting local football teams. There are also two designated play areas that are used by young families. The park is frequently used by dog walkers which also provides for great social interaction. Complementing the park, over decades, the woodland area has naturally grown into a substantial haven for local wildlife.
