Cllr Rob White

The council election race in Redlands Ward is set for a photo finish between Green Cllr Dave McElroy and Labour. When Dave was first elected three years ago he won by just 10 votes. A vote for a LibDem or Conservative will not elect a councillor.

Cllr Dave McElroy says: “Join with over a thousand others and vote for me and the Green Party. I’m working hard and making a difference, all year round for a fairer, greener and cleaner town.”

Greens call for replacement bottle bank and doorstep glass recycling

Because of persistent fly-tipping at the bottle bank on Erleigh Road near to Junction Road SSE have closed the site.

Cllr Dave McElroy says: “We were working to tackle the fly tipping here. Now it is closed we are lobbying for a new site to stop others from being overwhelmed and for a doorstep glass collection.”

Cllr Dave McElroy has been working with the university and residents to keep the alley from Foxhill Road to Upper Redlands Road open during the day.

Dave says: “The church says they will brick up the alley if the gate is broken again. We are working with them to manage opening and closing the gate.”

Greens are the second largest party in Reading

As the main opposition party on Labour-run Reading Council Green councillors will continue to work constructively to get the best for Reading residents. There are now seven Green Party councillors and we are now two councillors ahead of the Conservatives. We will keep working hard all year round on the issues that matter to residents.
