Working at Reading Borough Council
Reading Borough Council is the unitary authority for Reading, the largest town in the Thames Valley, covering the town centre, Caversham, Whitley, Tilehurst and the areas along the Thames and Kennet. Based at the Civic Offices on Bridge Street, it runs all local council services, including schools, social care, highways, housing and planning.
Its planning service works under the Reading Borough Local Plan on a tightly drawn urban area where almost all growth is on brownfield land. High-density and tall-building schemes around the station and town centre, regeneration of former industrial sites, flood risk along the rivers, and conservation areas such as the Abbey Quarter are recurring themes. Strong demand from the Thames Valley economy and Elizabeth line links means a busy, design-focused caseload.
