JULY 18th KENNET VALLEY PROPOSALS TURNED DOWN !!
The
Prudential's proposals for 3500 houses and associated infrastructure in
the Kennet Valley have been thrown out by the Regional Minister for the
South East, Jonathan Shaw MP, who said that the development was not
viable.
This follows strong criticism by the Environment Agency, a
campaign by local people, bird watchers, anglers, community and
interest groups and local councillors, and a petition signed by 1500
people which was taken to the House of Commons by Reading MP
Martin Salter.
This doesn't stop Prudential from making further applications, so we need to remain watchful !
MORE WORK ON THE GARDENS !!
On
Sunday 13th July, members tackled the weeds that were over-running the
garden beds at Coronation Square and laid a mulch of bark chippings.
There have been very favourable comments from local traders.
CORONATION SQUARE :
On
Sunday April 13th, GLOBE members worked hard to clean the overgrown
planting beds at the Coronation Square shopping precinct. Grass
and weeds were dug out and more plants put in.
KENNET MEADOWS:
We
are hoping to arrange walks through the Meadows. Watch out for
information on this site and for posters in the library etc.
