So many wonderfully unique communities make up the town of Reading. We are celebrating every inch of the borough by telling stories via our residents about seven local areas surrounding our libraries - hubs of the local community that provide services which span the generations and embrace the diversity of local populations.
Celebrating local areas in the borough and the services close by including parks, leisure centres, libraries, allotments, street cleaning teams, great scoring environmental health independent cafes.
Residents tell us about what makes the area home, local hidden gems and what they love about where they live and what makes their community so wonderfully unique across the borough.
Starting with Tilehurst during May featuring Bassle the turtle who lives at the Village Florist, Street Care Operative Erik originally from the Cayman Islands, George who looks after the council’s play areas, Tilehurst library book club, local resident Jim who enjoys his allotment and lots more.
