SHINFIELD residents will have the chance to offer their thoughts on two key areas at an upcoming public consultation.
The School Green Centre will host meetings on reducing traffic volume and speed within Shinfield Parish Council and plans for new sports and leisure facilities.
Shinfield Parish Council clerk Bruce Winton invited residents to attend the sessions, adding that their views will go a long way in shaping plans going forward.
He said: “I’ve seen comments from people saying the plans are a done deal but that’s far from the truth of it. Nothing has been preordained.
“The consultation will be a positive opportunity for residents to engage with the university and parish council. We want to hear what people need and we will put something in place which will have benefits for decades to come.”
Although the two consultations will take place at the same time, they will be divided into separate rooms.
Representatives from the University of Reading will be present to hear any issues raised by residents for the sports and recreation meeting.
Both sessions take place from 10am-3pm on Saturday, January 28, with the sport and recreation consultation taking place in the Ryeish Green Room and local traffic being discussed in the Pound Green Room.
