Woodley Arms – February 2019
The Woodley Arms on Waldeck Street closed in 2012 and now looks sad, abandoned and derelict as it awaits demolition. The public house was built as part of the redevelopment of Spring Gardens in the 1970s and was the pub’s third incarnation.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) intend to modernise the electricity mains on Milman Road, Spring Gardens, Essex Street, Mellor Walk, Aveley Walk and Elizabeth Walk between 17 February and 6 April. This will lead to 30 minute electrical power outages whilst the electricity supply is switched from the old to the new mains cable.
There were six new planning applications for Katesgrove, Redlands and Whitley wards this week. They may be discussed at one of the next Reading Borough Council planning applications committees.
You could be forgiven for thinking you were in Katesgrove rather than the centre of the metropolis.
Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of outrage over the University and Hospital areas parking study earlier this year, is the residents’ parking scrutiny review.
Streetcare team in Mount Street
Reading Borough Council’s Streetcare Team were in action on Monday 14 December deep cleaning the Spring Gardens area near Whitley Street.
‘Spring Gardens’ appears in the Commissioners’ Map of 1834 as a partially developed cluster of houses on the west side of Whitley Street.
The next Katesgrove Community Association Reading RESCUE event will take place on Friday 9 October 2015, starting at 10 am on Boults Walk.
