THE HOME of Reading Today’s predecessor could once again be used as an entertainment venue if plans are approved.

Last Christmas, the Tessa Road base of the Reading Post was turned into a winter wonderland of entertainment.

A programme of live music, cinema screenings, DJs and food featured in the former print hall of the newspaper.

Now, a new application has been submitted to Reading Borough Council to give permission for entertainment at the venue, off Richfield Avenue, until 2025.

Touch Entertainment Ltd wants to sell alcohol between noon and 11am daily.

It also seeks permission for regulated entertainment: plays, films, indoor sporting events, live music, dance, and DJing.

The closing date for comments on the application is Friday, September 16.

The Reading Post closed in December 2015, and the building has been empty ever since.
