Reclaim the streets and why it’s so needed. kidicalmassreading.co.uk/2024/07/23/rec…

I was a uni student. A man approached me on the street and started asking me questions like where I lived. I mumbled something and went into a nearby shop. He followed me and kept asking. I said he was making me uncomfortable and asked him to go. He said I was being racist.

Hi Reading Borough Council sadly a piece seems to be missing from this butterfly in Westfield Park.

Saw Frozen The Musical one last time with this sweet boy today (big brother at school already, this one starts tomorrow). It's bought our whole family so much joy. The boys have spent literally days acting it out at home, and they belt out the songs at the flimsiest of provocations.

New policy: rather than school uniform being e.g. "grey socks" there must be at least four acceptable colours of sock. Yes, I now have to sort socks into two grey piles with a small (but very important!) size difference. At least M&S mark the size very clearly.

Very suddenly appreciating that in not that many years the person who will benefit from the KidicalMassReading rule that Simon Smart and I have been patiently explaining and enforcing on family bike rides ("we go at the pace of the slowest rider") will be me.

Labour MP admits that state schools don't have enough teachers, mental health support or careers advice. Instead of explaining how government will fix this she advocates making things worse for a different group of children.

Hi Argos please ask your driver not to leave the truck in Reading Borough Council segregated cycle lane on Shinfield Road.

Moment of silence for this bollard that's gone down in the line of duty in Reading Borough Council territory outside The Last Crumb on Prospect Street.

Hi Reading Borough Council this half of the pedestrian crossing outside the Travellers Rest is not working. My son and I waited four cycles of the lights before we risked crossing in the short gap between traffic. This crossing on a busy road gets high levels of use from schoolchildren.

Well I was impressed with how quickly Reading Borough Council replaced the bollard but apparently this is not a very safe place for a bollard to live because its successor has been taken out too.

This isn't on our regular school run but I went back this way today and found it was fixed. Hurrah!

Hi Reading Borough Council these traffic lights by Forbury have been down for over a week. Based on past experience of pedestrian light repairs I guess they could be out for a while. This is a key bike route over a busy road. Any chance of temporary lights Richard Davies ?

Hi Thames Water 💧 not sure if this is yours but there is a stream of water bubbling out from the bottom of a garden and flowing down the path by the Milestone Centre in Caversham, Reading (the is the footpath going under Northbrook Road).

In the library to finish off the reading challenge and Mr 5 loved this so much that he asked for a "forever copy" for home - I nabbed the last copy available from Amazon! Recognised the author name as Ian Eagleton who wrote Nen, a previous firm favourite! You have a fan!

Hi Thames Water 💧 water coming up from the pavement outside the RISC shop in Reading. What3words is sting natively loaded.
