Battle ward is getting a wash and brush up!
As those of you who follow me on social media (Twitter & Facebook) will know, I love the Love Clean Reading smartphone app and use it a lot to report various issues around the ward (trolleys, flytipping, potholes). It is quick, easy and effective. Love Clean Reading, and Labour-led Reading Borough Council, is going a step further with a series of deep cleans throughout the town.

Work will include street sweeping, verge edging, gulley emptying, weeding, tree pruning and clearing vegetation. Various streets in Battle are scheduled for a clean (please see below) although timimgs may change due to the recent flooding and, after last night, storm damage.
Battle councillors nominated these streets as we felt they needed a little TLC. After a recent session of door knocking with Victoria Groulef, our parliamentary candidate, we will also be asking that the streets around Mason Street, Little Street and Cambridge Street receive urgent attention.
We are unhappy about the state of Mason Street |
