    Application Number Expiry Date Parish Ward 182892 18/01/2019 Earley Bulmershe and Whitegates; Applicant Reading Borough Council

    Application Expiry Date Parish Ward Number 182892 18/01/2019 Earley Bulmershe and Whitegates; Applicant Reading Borough Council Highways and Transport Department Site Address Land between Thames Valley Business Park and Napier Road Reading, South of the River Thames and north of the Great Western Main Line Railway. Proposal Full application for the construction of a segregated fast-track public transport, pedestrian and cycle bridge and viaduct, comprising concrete bridge structure supported by concrete columns, steel beams and reinforced soil embankment, together with new footway links and existing footway alterations, junction improvements and landscaping. Type Full PS Category 006 Officer Katie Herrington Reason for Major application determination by committee FOR CONSIDERATION BY Planning Committee on Wednesday, 12 December 2018 REPORT PREPARED BY Assistant Director – Place SUMMARY This is a resubmission for the proposed erection of a new public transport link for use by buses, cyclists and pedestrians between the A3290 (Wokingham) and Napier Road (Reading) known as the East Reading Mass Rapid Transit. As a whole the proposal is a fast track/ express bus lane consisting of a bridge and viaduct, and reinforced soil embankment, junction improvements within Reading, new footpath links and landscaping. The proposal crosses between two boroughs and whilst each LPA must consider the scheme in principle as a whole, only that element falling within the relevant borough should be considered by Wokingham. Within Wokingham the scheme would begin at the A3290 (the Thames Valley Park and Ride Site) then becomes a viaduct that would increase in height forming a bridge across the Kennet Mouth into Reading.

    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.
