I am pleased to see a bid being put in by Reading Borough Council for more school places. In the Battle/Central West area this includes:
- EP Collier Primary School expansion
- Southcote Primary School expansion
- A new Academy serving the Oxford Road
- Churchend Primary Academy expansion
- St Michael’s Primary School expansion
- Prince of Wales Avenue
- Prospect Street
The trial of communal bins for the residents above the shops on Oxford Road appears to be going well with no more bin bag mountains!
We had an excellent launch event for the Battle 106 funding consultation. It's live for a few more days and you can go to the website by clicking the picture top right.
The Community First in Battle panel met on Wednesday to discuss the 2013-2014 round of funding. Our blog will be updated soon: http://communityfirstbattle.blogspot.co.uk/
We have a councillors drop-in tomorrow at Battle Library 10.30-12 so come along with your questions, concerns and comments.
I have also been out and about with Victoria Groulef, our parliamentary candidate in Reading West. I have created links to some of our recent appearances in the local press which also give you some idea of what we've been up to. You can see them here : http://www.cllrsarahhacker.com/p/in-press.html
Finally I am pleased to have been re-elected chair of Labour Group and chair of the new Housing, Neighbourhoods & Leisure committee.
All this plus starting to get things growing the the garden (more of this to follow), training for the Race For Life (button top left) and being a bridesmaid. Phew!
And an absolutely perfect bridesmaid you were too! Another great job done by Cllr Hacker! :-) xxx
