Do you know your Bin Collection Day is Changing? (14/11/2016)

A PUBLIC information campaign advising residents of changes to their bin collection day begins this week.

For the first time in more than a decade, waste collection days will change from February 2017 for most of the 68,500 households in Reading as the Council reconfigures bin collection rounds to make the service more efficient. New service standards will also come into effect from February next year, as the Council focuses on driving up recycling rates and reducing the amount of household waste going to landfill.

School bus fare anger in Berkshire

Parents in Berkshire say they will have to pay £700 a year in bus fares as their children cannot get a place at their nearest school. Half of Chieveley village is not eligible for subsidised travel to The Downs School as Trinity School is marginally nearer. Newbury MP Richard Benyon said there should be "wiggle room" for parents with no choice. West Berkshire Council said there could not be exceptions for different areas.

The ice house at Whiteknights Park

There is a mysterious mound of earth just off the beaten paths of the Whiteknights campus that when viewed all way around has the look, air and feel of a Hobbit barrow in the Shires. There is a brick entrance and a lonely shadowy gate that looks like a good habitat for bats and small birds but no other hints of its origin or use.

This original ice house is probably 200 years old ...
