South London low-traffic scheme opponents celebrate shock High Court victory standard.co.uk/news/transport… - interesting. I wonder if there's a case against Reading Borough Council and the consultation on failed cycle lanes and dogmatic councillor insisting on it going ahead.

hats off to UK Gov't for this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… - but so what. Did they have plans to travel to the UK (I doubt it) and can we be told of any assets they have that'll be frozen? Too little too late by this Gov't. Stop selling arms to Israel at the very least.

AHH good old Councillor Ennis spouting bollox. 30% of Reading don't own a car? Is that 30% of adults? Households? Sounds as if he's manipulating numbers to once again penalise car owners. Funny how this council always have a car hater in charge of roads. readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25244992.…

The sarcasm and bile is never more than a paragraph away. He just can't help it.

Whilst laudable, it's worth pointing out that this is a Mitchell and Butler app and most of the venues are Mitchell and Butlers pubs. readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25263629.…

For all the school street road..why is this acceptable? Why should we tolerate cars parking on double Yellow lines, dropping off their kids to school? The council turn a blind eye, the school doesn't care, and we just suffer. Reading Borough Council you need to do something about it.

Reading Borough Council Tofrek Park (behind Wilson Primary) has steadily had more and more homeless moving in. Normally they keep to the tree line but for the second time this week we have a tent on the actual park. Please do something about it. Children play here all day in the summer

In truth, our welfare system is increasingly the state subsidising employers who pay poverty wages, landlords charging unaffordable rents and corporations extracting vast profits, all at society's expense.

I'm confused...Heelas just changed it's name as it was owned by John Lewis following it's purchase in 1953. I'd be amazed if many remember it from before then. readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25290637.…

Now the IDF wants to 'concentrate' Palestinians in a barbed wire camp. I know history is not your thing, Keir Starmer but surely this will set off some alarm bells?

Reading this, it's clear the the top ranked GPs are, mostly, in nice villages and don't deal with the realities of dealing with inner city issues. Pretty poor reporting. (And by inner city I mean inner Reading) readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25308736.…

England through...but just shocking penalties. That said, to come from 2-0 down was impressive...week done Lionesses #EngvsSweden

I'm hoarse from screaming at the TV... Why so much stress watching the Lionesses! I need a drink. #Lionesses

The litany of mismanagement just continues. Reading Borough Council please stop using unrealistic end dates for road works. I fully expect the Oxford road resurfacing to overrun, you've pretty much admitted it will.

BBC News - Reading glass kerbside recycling collections set to begin in 2026 - BBC News - late next year?? Only taken 5 years to get to "late next year". I'll believe it when I see it bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"And THAT boys...is how to take a penalty." (Brian Glover) Bravo, Lionesses.
