My Conservative colleague and
Peppard Ward councillor, Richard Willis, has organised a public meeting
tomorrow night at 6.45 pm at the Milestone Centre, Northbrook Road , Caversham Park
Village , about the bus
services and the changes which will come once the new northern inter-change to
Reading Station opens.
The CEO of Reading Buses, James
Freeman, will explain the proposed changes after which he has kindly agreed to
take questions from the floor.
Richard has also arranged for a
senior Council Transport Officer to attend to speak on the planned new
pedestrian/cycle bridge over the Thames . This
bridge was something which he proposed when he was Lead Councillor and we began
the work to include it in a bid to central Government for the funding. The bid
was successful and will now be built in the next year or so.
All north of the river residents are
welcome to attend the meeting but if they cannot I am happy to arrange for a
summary of the briefing to be emailed to them following the meeting.
