    Roux Davies: “Reading council has a housebuilding target of 800 homes a year, included in that are energy-efficient green homes and affordable council homes."

    “In 2023, they had issues building 50 affordable homes because of the lack of capacity on the electricity grid.

    “Because they couldn't have the capacity on the grid to have green infrastructure like heat pumps, they instead installed gas heating."

  7. 「中國駐倫敦超級大使館」計劃惹爭議,警隊再「轉軚」、多區反對聲浪四起|港人團體5月3日發起大遊行

    倫敦前鑄幣廠原址興建中國超級大使館的計劃再起波瀾。倫敦警察廳早前雖撤回反對意見,但近日致信政府承認仍有保安憂慮,指出早前兩場集會人數高達3000至5000,遠超警方認為安全的500人上限。Wokingham和Sutton等地方議會亦發信反對,憂慮計劃危害國家安全及港人群體自由。多區示威已造成交通癱瘓及混亂,有人受傷被捕。副首相韋雅蘭(Angela Rayner)即將作最終決定,警方「轉軚」會否左右結果,引起各界關注。

  8. Have you used a Hello Bench?

    I noticed a Hello Bench at a local nature area near where I live. HelloBench are a Woodley and Wokingham community initiative designed to promote human connection and eliminate loneliness.

    It seems like a kind idea to get people chatting and connecting.

  9. Unfortunatly the #wokingham #u3a technology group has been wound down due to low membership and lack of a new convener.

    Maybe some will sign up to #u3acommunities groups instead (u3acommunities.org/).

  10. Last weekends #wokingham #pollution was very high, especially the dangerous PM1.0.

    Not sure of the cause, but I suspect a combination of local log burners, building work and unusual weather.

    Maybe I should auto post these from #homeassistant.

  11. The #wokingham #u3a technology group needs a new conviener or group will close.

    If interested please come along on 16th Jan to discuss the groups future.

  12. #Reading is also divided in half by the #RiverThames - there are only 3 points to cross it - at #Caversham Bridge, Reading Bridge and just outside in #Sonning - even this afternoon that bridge must have been #flooded , as #Wokingham #Council and #TVP (Thames Valley Police) had closed off the road (adding to the traffic on the remaining two bridge crossings). The Council wants to build a third bridge but surrounding Councils are against it

  14. I've been working with these folks, delivering leaflets and getting the message out. It's either Lib Dem or Tory in #Wokingham. I know where I'm putting my vote! #ToriesOut

  15. Conservative MP Sir John #Redwood is standing down at #2024GE

    Another of Major's "bastards" bites the dust...... 10 years too late to save us from the self-inflicted injury that was #brexit

    #libDem is the best vote in #Wokingham to ensure another gammon plank does not take his place

    努力總換來成果。

    吳兆康是前民主黨中西區區議員,在國安法生效之後,2021年左右以安全理由去到英國。他覺得參與選舉、參與政黨,就是要進入英國的制度之中,用制度去維護香港人的權益。

    他覺得參與,是一個好的嘗試,無論是成功或失敗,總算「開了頭」。他說:「如果吳兆康成功,大家見到可能都會想參選;就算吳兆康失敗、輸了,其實都非失敗,是一個嘗試。」想知道他更多參選的心路歷程,請收看EP92《兩邊走走》的編輯推介。

  22. 'Halve it: Residents call on council and police to drastically cut speed limits on Wokingham’s roads'

    'government guidance also notes that in 2022, 27% of all road deaths in England occurred on national speed limit rural single carriageway roads – and states that speed limits on single carriageway rural roads should take account of vulnerable road users wherever there is no footway.'

  24. @nocto Not nearly as far, but a walking and cycling sign at Arborfield Green pointing at Aldershot, 14 miles away - the sign is the sort you get on shared use paths or quiet roads, but this expects people to walk and cycle on a series of busy and hostile A roads without paths. The route to Wokingham is bad but at least it's only 4 miles.

  26. A councillor in #Wokingham: 'learnt about the concept of 15-minute neighbourhoods where residents could walk or cycle within their community to access shops, schools, GP surgeries and the other things they need to live.

    Many of the new towns designed and built in the 1950s, and 1960s used that as a blueprint. However, over time, the car became king and walking and cycling became less attractive on roads congested with traffic.'

  28. 'The ‘war on motorists’ is an over-used fiction, being wheeled out by the Conservatives in a desperate attempt to appease right wing critics and win a few votes.'
    'To attempt to create a division between motorists and cyclists or pedestrians is a base tactic and, more importantly, it won’t work.'

  30. Unearthed this Royal County of #Berkshire Official Guide from 1991 on what is, coincidentally, the 25th anniversary of the County Council's demise. I can't see much online about the guide, so I'll scan and PDF it over the weekend and add it to the #InternetArchive so you can all share in the 1990s nostalgia!
