A burlesque themed Christmas party event space has been given the go ahead.
Event organisers Best Parties Ever hold an annual Christmas party centred around a big top tent in King’s Meadow.
In order for the event to go ahead, organisers require consent from Reading Borough Council.
At Reading Borough Council planning meeting on Wednesday, November 1, Cllr Richard Davies (Labour, Thames) said: “This is in my ward.
“Every year Cllr Tony Page (Labour, Abbey) traditionally makes an eloquent speech about it, he’s clearly a bigger fan of Christmas parties than I am but nevertheless I support it.”
Cllr Doug Creswell (Green, Katesgrove) wondered whether the organisers could report to the council what efforts they take to make the event sustainable. Cllr Jo Lovelock (Labour, Norcot) replied that it would be a bit late for such a report this year.
The event runs from December 1-16 was unanimously approved.
The application can be seen by logging on to Reading Borough Council’s planning website, searching for reference 231130.
