In a recent News Update email from Matt Rodda, our MP for Reading East, Matt has stated that he opposes the proposed development on Reading Golf Course and to support this he has prepared a survey to poll his constituents' opinions about it.
This is what he wrote:
Saving our heritage and green spaces
Plans to build on some major sites are progressing, despite the pandemic.
I am still in discussion with the Ministry of Justice and am continuing to press for Reading Gaol to be saved and turned into an arts and heritage hub.
A planning application to build hundreds of houses on Reading Golf Club is due to be made in the next few weeks. I oppose this scheme because of the potential damage to the local environment in Emmer Green and the increase in traffic in Caversham and Emmer Green, over the Thames bridges and in the town centre. Please complete my survey on the golf course development or email me about other issues.
If you have not already done so, please complete Matt’s online survey and let him know your opinions. It only takes a few minutes to complete.
