In the height of the summer, which now seems to be in the distant past, Councillor Mark Ralph stood next to this dangerous pavement in Kidmore End Road which was a particular problem our older residents who are less nimble than they used to be.  We are pleased that it has now been fixed.

Dangerous Potholes ... have all been repaired!
Clllr Richard Willis and the Milestone Way potholes

Milestone Way potholes
Cllr Richard Willis reported these dangerous potholes in this normally busy car park. Cllr Willis said "someone could easily trip and injure themselves". Reading Borough Council have arranged to have the potholes resurfaced shortly. See my Blog!

Burnout kiosk ... removed!

Milestone Way Telephone Kiosk
its a terrible shame that mindless vandals set this telephone kiosk alight in 2007. In the absence of a mobile phone or a run-down battery, this kiosk could well have been used in an emergency and may well have saved someone's life. As a result of an area walk-about to enhance the area with local residents, businesses and Police and subsequent contact with British Telecom the kiosk was finally removed after a 90-day public consultation period.

Eyesore ... ... relocated!

Kidmore End Road, Emmer Green.
Following complaints from our local residents regarding an unsightly collection bin, it was promptly relocated to a more appropriate place following negotiations with the  department concerned.

Dangerous wall ... ... removed!

Farnham Drive, Caversham Park Village (rear of shops)

Abandoned vehicle ... ... removed!

Farnham Drive Car park, Caversham Park Village
Cllr Mark Ralph marks the spot where an abandoned caravan was not only creating an eyesore but was also occupying numerous car spaces in a busy shopping area car park. Following discussions with the local Police team, the abandoned vehicle was removed.

More to follow shortly! ....
