2. Parking Issues (1^st 2017)

3. Potholes (2^nd 2017)

4. Burglary

Many respondents suggested they would like to get involved in activities in their local community.  The Neighbourhood Initiatives Team at Reading Borough Council is starting to make contact with those individuals.  You can contact us here Neighbourhoodinitiatives@reading.gov.uk

• Each Safer Neighbourhood Forum will receive a breakdown of the results for their area, the local groups can then decide their areas of priority and the action they take.
• Issues such as parking, potholes and bins will be referred to traffic management and highways/streetcare for their information and consideration in line with the group’s terms of reference to focus on crime and disorder
• Work from within the Community Safety Partnership e.g, actions on drugs will be shared with neighbourhoods when appropriate.

We asked for your feedback into the early stages of designing a new transport strategy for Reading to last the next 15 years.

You gave a wide range of feedback about how we can make transport in Reading faster, simpler, safer, less congested, more connected, more accessible and better for the environment.

We have published the full results on the consultation page.

This consultation was the first step in designing a new transport strategy for Reading.

We are now using your feedback to inform the strategy document, and there will be a further consultation on the draft strategy in spring/summer 2020.

A draft document on improving standards of sustainability in new buildings, to implement the policies of the Local Plan, was subject to consultation.

There were 17 comments on the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which dealt with various aspects of the document.  Summaries of the comments can be seen in the Statement of Consultation.

A revised version of the SPD was adopted on 16^th December 2019, which took the results of consultation into account.
