Your Home Matters; Your Views Count

As Reading List previously advertised, Reading Borough Council is undertaking a consultation exercise on privately rented housing.

LibDem councillors have clearly been pushing hard on this issue, recognizing that with 1 out of every 5 houses across the borough (compared to a national average where 1 in 9 houses are rented from commercial landlords) this is of major importance to the quality of life experienced by Reading citizens.

So get on down to the Hexagon Theatre between 6.30pm-8.30pm tonight where you can have your say.

If you can't make it then the council website has a form you can complete to make your voice heard (before February 19th), and Cllr Benson has set up a facebook group.

AboutMyArea and Green campaigner Rob White have also advertised a series of events organised by Reading Energy Pioneers where homeowners can discover way to save money on their energy bills by cutting down on energy waste.

Update: Local newspaper Reading Chronicle has given their audience hasty notice of the event.
