Reading Civic Society and Haslams to host information evening about plans to revamp Reading town centre buildings

AN OPPORTUNITY to explore the plans for the regeneration of a key part of Reading’s town centre will take place early next month.

Haslams estate agency is teaming up with Reading Civic Society for an open evening about Queen Victoria Street and Friar Street.

The architects behind plans to restore and reimagine this historic corner will be on hand to explain their vision to improve buildings they say have been long-neglected. This includes the rear of the WHSmith building on Friar Street, and increasing the size of an ‘aparthotel’ from 40 rooms to 104.

The former Bugle pub forms part of the proposals for the hotel.

The event is open to all, and takes place on Friday, December 2, from 6pm to 8pm. Places should be booked in advance, but are free.
