This is a moment of great sadness for our nation.
The Queen served this country tirelessly over her 70 year reign, was witness to the fall of the Berlin Wall, invention of the Internet and the first man on the moon.
We send strength and compassion to the Royal family at this difficult time.
Green campaigner Kate Nikulina is working hard for warm spaces this winter – sign our petition
Winter is coming and we must help anyone who is slipping into fuel poverty. Warmth, shelter, and community are basic needs, and our council can help.
Warm spaces are going to be necessary until this government changes or is changed for the better.
Other councils are joining together council buildings such as libraries with religious spaces and community centres to make sure that there is always somewhere warm for people in need to go.
We need services, support, and warmth this winter.

Green councillor Doug Cresswell is standing up for our rivers
New Katesgrove Green councillor Doug Cresswell is off to a running start highlighting that Reading Sewage Works run by Thames Water dumped raw sewage into the Foundry Brook six times in 2021 for a total of 50 hours.
Doug highlighted that it is utterly shameful that water bosses are taking home millions of pounds of pay and bonuses a year while their companies lay siege to our natural environment by dumping raw sewage into our waterways.
