Local MP opposes Golf Club development plans . . . 01 November 2019

Matt Rodda MP has said he is strongly opposed to development on Reading Golf Club. He has asked local residents to help him demonstrate the strength of opinion against development by completing a survey he has sent out. He says: “Building a large housing estate could take several years and is likely to lead to severe disruption nearby, due to noise, lorry movements and loss of trees and wildlife”.

He adds that Reading council have “identified enough brownfield land for almost all the housing needed in the borough until 2035 and as a result I believe there is no need to develop the golf course”
