Cedar Court - the brand new extra care housing in Basingstoke Road - will provide high quality accommodation and wider facilities for older people living in the local area.
The 40-unit scheme has been built on the site of the former Avenue School. It comprises 27 one-bedroom flats and 13 two-bedroom flats, all for social rent.
This scheme was jointly funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Reading Borough Council. The HCA has contributed more than £3m in funding support toward the building of the new homes.
The building has full lift access to all floors and is designed to be fully accessible to wheelchair-users. There is a café/restaurant, an outside patio deck and hairdressers, which residents and older people in the neighbourhood are welcome to use. Other facilities include a treatment suite, hobby rooms, a small shop, a roof terrace and a garden for residents.
The four-storey scheme has been built by developers Willmott Dixon Construction Limited.
It has been designed to enable older people to live at home longer with support.
It will also meet high renewable energy standards, through the use of biomass boilers and recycling and composting facilities.
Extra care housing increases the quality and choice of accommodation with care for older people. It offers an alternative to residential care with 24-hour flexible care and on-site support. It offers greater independence at a lower cost for many frail elderly people and some older people with dementia.
Richard Davies, Lead Councillor for Housing, said:
“I am delighted that Cedar Court is opening – a really wonderful building with great facilities that I’m sure residents will enjoy. This is the first new council housing to be opened in Reading in 25 years and there is more to come.”
Rachel Eden, Lead Councillor for Adult Social Care, said:
“The Residents of Cedar Court will be able to combine independence and a fulfilling, active life with support as and when they need it. It’s the sort of place I would like to grow older in and I know that the facilities and activities on offer will also be of great benefit to other older people living in the area.”
Peter Jones, HCA head of area, added:
“If we are to help communities build the homes they need, it is essential that housing for older people is provided as part of this effort.
“We know how important developments such as Cedar Court are in places like Reading, and that’s why we have supported this development with investment to help make it happen. This is a great example of what can be achieved and I congratulate partners and colleagues for working hard to make this happen.”
The impact of substantial government cuts combined with increased service pressures meant Reading Borough Council needed to reduce administrative costs to allow them to maintain vital frontline services.
Fujitsu listened to the Council’s challenges, assessed the situation and recognised what solution would present best value in terms of efficiency and savings. The 17-year partnership between Reading and Fujitsu was consolidated through moving the Council to Oracle ERP Cloud and managing it across all the Council’s financial management systems. This has seen Reading become one of the first organisations to run an open architecture and adopt Oracle Financials Cloud in the UK and highlights Reading’s commitment to high level service provisioning for its citizens and moves it into the category of next generation councils that are both striving to be leaner and financially self sufficient.
The solution Fujitsu implemented demonstrates a true shift in the market for Councils looking to realise the benefits of ERP in the cloud. The solution provides richer reporting to budget holders, while most importantly reducing their operating cost. It also offers users a more intuitive service that can enable new employees to navigate the system far quicker than previous versions.

Some conclusions from the Public Health England report are not being taken into account by lighting designers.
For example,
8.2 Colour rendering and CCT, page 36
"All the measured CCT values were in excess of 3500 K, despite these colour temperatures providing additional stimulation to the non-visual system. Additional non-visual stimulation may have short term benefits for road safety, but repeated exposure at night may be detrimental to health, depending on the dose, i.e. the light exposure received by a person. The systems and lamps needed to switch between high CCT and low CCT lighting at different hours of darkness would be expensive (certainly at the present time), so lower CCTs are likely to be more suitable for street lighting."
"There may be further to go yet for this new lighting technology, particularly in the office and outdoor lighting markets. Whilst there are some concerns about LED lighting, they often relate to the current status of a design, or are equally applicable to other lighting types.
It is concluded that flicker from LED lighting may be a risk factor for some adverse health effects in an unknown, but probably small, proportion of the population. Where possible, the flicker should be no greater than would be experienced from incandescent lamps to minimise adverse health effects. Consideration should be given to reducing the CCT of LED lighting to avoid potential adverse effects on melatonin production in the evening. The science is not yet mature enough to state a threshold CCT that should not be exceeded in general lighting applications. However, some of the sources assessed in this study produced higher CCTs than many people in the UK would find comfortable."

READING Borough Council can confirm Crescent Road in East Reading will be the site for the new Maiden Erlegh School.
The Council bought the Crescent Road site last year with the express intention of securing the site for future educational use. This was done in response to the increasing demand on school places both nationally and locally.
At a meeting of Policy Committee last night (July 21st) Reading Borough Council agreed a long term lease of Crescent Road site to the the new Maiden Erlegh Secondary School, funded by the Education Funding Agency.
The building of a new school at Crescent Road is subject to planning consent, but the Policy Committee decision means preparatory work can now begin for the new school to open to Year 7 students in September 2015.
When open the new Maiden Erlegh School will significantly ease the pressure on secondary school places in East Reading. Without it the Council estimated that Reading’s secondary schools would be completely full by 2017. The proposed new school fulfils Reading Borough Council’s ambition for a new secondary school in East Reading which caters for 11 to 16 year olds.

Now more stories that have made the headlines in Reading this month;
A total of 991 potholes have been now been repaired in the five months across Reading since the Council tasked 2 new crews with the job of filling the potholes, which were caused by high levels of rainfall followed by a cold winter.
PARENTS, carers, teachers, governors and voluntary sector representatives are being invited to input into a new Special Educational Needs and Disability also known as (SEND) strategy for Reading.
The consultation is being launched in response to locally identified priorities and proposed national changes in the Children and Families
READING has one of the highest quit smoking success rates in England, according to latest figures.
The town recorded 499 'successful quits' in the six month period from April to September 2013. The impressive figure brings Reading's quit success rate up to 75%, which is one of the highest rates in England where the average currently stands at 49%.
NEARLY 500 homes across Reading are set to benefit from a trial campaign aimed at driving up recycling rates in blocks of flats, and saving the council tax payer money at the same time.
Residents in ten blocks of flats have been selected for the three-month trial, which will see recycling facilities increased and people given more options on how to recycle.
People in Reading are being asked to back a fresh bid to help conserve Reading's historic Abbey Quarter, as the Council prepares to bid again for Heritage Lottery Fund money in February.
Council is in the process of pulling together proposals for the conservation and promotion of the town's Abbey heritage -- a unique site of both local and national importance, and a key destination for residents and visitors of Reading.

Borough
A borough is an administrative division in various countries. In principle, the term borough designates a self-governing walled town, although in practice, official use of the term varies widely.
The word borough derives from common Germanic *Burg, meaning fort: compare with bury, burgh and brough (England), burgh (Scotland), Burg (Germany), borg (Scandinavia), burcht (Dutch), boarch (West Frisian), and the Germanic borrowing present in neighbouring Indo-european languages such as borgo (Italian), bourg (French), burgo (Spanish and Portuguese), burg (Romanian), purg (Kajkavian) and durg (दर्ग) (Hindi) and arg (ارگ) (Persian). The incidence of these words as suffixes to place names (for example, Aldeburgh, Bamburgh, Tilbury, Tilburg, Strasbourg (Strossburi in the local dialect), Luxembourg, Edinburgh, Grundisburgh, Hamburg, Gothenburg) usually indicates that they were once fortified settlements.
In the Middle Ages, boroughs were settlements in England that were granted some self-government; burghs were the Scottish equivalent. In medieval England, boroughs were also entitled to elect members of parliament. The use of the word borough probably derives from the burghal system of Alfred the Great. Alfred set up a system of defensive strong points (Burhs); in order to maintain these settlements, he granted them a degree of autonomy. After the Norman Conquest, when certain towns were granted self-governance, the concept of the burh/borough seems to have been reused to mean a self-governing settlement.

Reading Borough Council
Reading Borough Council is the local authority for the Borough of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. It is a unitary authority, having the powers of a non-metropolitan county and district council combined. Berkshire is purely a ceremonial county, with no administrative responsibilities.
Reading Borough Council has adopted the committee system of governance and the current leader of the council is Councillor Jo Lovelock of the Labour Party. The largely ceremonial post of mayor is held by Councillor Sarah Hacker.
The area covered by the Borough of Reading is one definition of the town of Reading. However, in common usage, the town often encompasses suburbs that lie beyond the borough boundary, in the adjoining local authority areas of Wokingham, West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. These suburbs are outside the control of Reading Borough Council.
Wards
Reading's councillors are elected by 16 wards:

Reading
The common noun reading (pronounced as /ˈɹiːdɪŋ/) may refer to:
- obtaining information from devices such as sensors ("taking/obtaining (a) reading/readings")
The proper noun Reading (pronounced as /ˈredɪŋ/) may refer to:
Places
- Reading/Wokingham Urban Area, area defined by the UK Office for National Statistics
- Reading (UK Parliament constituency) (1295-1950 and 1955–1974)
- Reading East (UK Parliament constituency) (created 1983)

Council
A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county level, but most legislative bodies at the state or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government. A board of directors might also be denoted as a council. A committee might also be denoted as a council, though a committee is generally a subordinate body composed of members of a larger body, while a council may not be. Because many schools have a student council, the council is the form of governance with which many people are likely to have their first experience as electors or participants.
A member of a council may be referred to as a councillor, or by the gender-specific titles of councilman and councilwoman.

Earley
Coordinates: 51°25′59″N 0°55′59″W / 51.433°N 0.933°W / 51.433; -0.933
Earley is a town and civil parish in the English county of Berkshire. The Office for National Statistics places Earley within the Reading/Wokingham Urban Area; for the purposes of local government it falls within the Borough of Wokingham, outside the area of Reading Borough Council. The name is sometimes spelt Erleigh or Erlegh.
The town consists of a number of smaller areas, including Maiden Erlegh and Lower Earley, and lies some 2 miles (3 km) south and east of central Reading, and some 5 miles (8 km) west of Wokingham. It has a population of around 30,000. In 2014, the RG6 postcode area (which is nearly coterminous with the area of the civil parish) was rated one of the most desirable postcode areas to live in England.
History
Evidence of prehistoric man has been found in several locations around Earley. For example, a hand axe was found in the railway cutting; flint implements in a garden in Elm Lane; and hand axes in the gardens in Fowler Close and Silverdale Road. Most of these finds are thought to date from the late Paleolithic period, around 35,000 years ago.

Cedar Court - the brand new extra care housing in Basingstoke Road - will provide high quality accommodation and wider facilities for older people living in the local area.
The 40-unit scheme has been built on the site of the former Avenue School. It comprises 27 one-bedroom flats and 13 two-bedroom flats, all for social rent.
This scheme was jointly funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Reading Borough Council. The HCA has contributed more than £3m in funding support toward the building of the new homes.
The building has full lift access to all floors and is designed to be fully accessible to wheelchair-users. There is a café/restaurant, an outside patio deck and hairdressers, which residents and older people in the neighbourhood are welcome to use. Other facilities include a treatment suite, hobby rooms, a small shop, a roof terrace and a garden for residents.
The four-storey scheme has been built by developers Willmott Dixon Construction Limited.
It has been designed to enable older people to live at home longer with support.
It will also meet high renewable energy standards, through the use of biomass boilers and recycling and composting facilities.
Extra care housing increases the quality and choice of accommodation with care for older people. It offers an alternative to residential care with 24-hour flexible care and on-site support. It offers greater independence at a lower cost for many frail elderly people and some older people with dementia.
Richard Davies, Lead Councillor for Housing, said:
“I am delighted that Cedar Court is opening – a really wonderful building with great facilities that I’m sure residents will enjoy. This is the first new council housing to be opened in Reading in 25 years and there is more to come.”
Rachel Eden, Lead Councillor for Adult Social Care, said:
“The Residents of Cedar Court will be able to combine independence and a fulfilling, active life with support as and when they need it. It’s the sort of place I would like to grow older in and I know that the facilities and activities on offer will also be of great benefit to other older people living in the area.”
Peter Jones, HCA head of area, added:
“If we are to help communities build the homes they need, it is essential that housing for older people is provided as part of this effort.
“We know how important developments such as Cedar Court are in places like Reading, and that’s why we have supported this development with investment to help make it happen. This is a great example of what can be achieved and I congratulate partners and colleagues for working hard to make this happen.”

The impact of substantial government cuts combined with increased service pressures meant Reading Borough Council needed to reduce administrative costs to allow them to maintain vital frontline services.
Fujitsu listened to the Council’s challenges, assessed the situation and recognised what solution would present best value in terms of efficiency and savings. The 17-year partnership between Reading and Fujitsu was consolidated through moving the Council to Oracle ERP Cloud and managing it across all the Council’s financial management systems. This has seen Reading become one of the first organisations to run an open architecture and adopt Oracle Financials Cloud in the UK and highlights Reading’s commitment to high level service provisioning for its citizens and moves it into the category of next generation councils that are both striving to be leaner and financially self sufficient.
The solution Fujitsu implemented demonstrates a true shift in the market for Councils looking to realise the benefits of ERP in the cloud. The solution provides richer reporting to budget holders, while most importantly reducing their operating cost. It also offers users a more intuitive service that can enable new employees to navigate the system far quicker than previous versions.

Some conclusions from the Public Health England report are not being taken into account by lighting designers.
For example,
8.2 Colour rendering and CCT, page 36
"All the measured CCT values were in excess of 3500 K, despite these colour temperatures providing additional stimulation to the non-visual system. Additional non-visual stimulation may have short term benefits for road safety, but repeated exposure at night may be detrimental to health, depending on the dose, i.e. the light exposure received by a person. The systems and lamps needed to switch between high CCT and low CCT lighting at different hours of darkness would be expensive (certainly at the present time), so lower CCTs are likely to be more suitable for street lighting."
"There may be further to go yet for this new lighting technology, particularly in the office and outdoor lighting markets. Whilst there are some concerns about LED lighting, they often relate to the current status of a design, or are equally applicable to other lighting types.
It is concluded that flicker from LED lighting may be a risk factor for some adverse health effects in an unknown, but probably small, proportion of the population. Where possible, the flicker should be no greater than would be experienced from incandescent lamps to minimise adverse health effects. Consideration should be given to reducing the CCT of LED lighting to avoid potential adverse effects on melatonin production in the evening. The science is not yet mature enough to state a threshold CCT that should not be exceeded in general lighting applications. However, some of the sources assessed in this study produced higher CCTs than many people in the UK would find comfortable."

READING Borough Council can confirm Crescent Road in East Reading will be the site for the new Maiden Erlegh School.
The Council bought the Crescent Road site last year with the express intention of securing the site for future educational use. This was done in response to the increasing demand on school places both nationally and locally.
At a meeting of Policy Committee last night (July 21st) Reading Borough Council agreed a long term lease of Crescent Road site to the the new Maiden Erlegh Secondary School, funded by the Education Funding Agency.
The building of a new school at Crescent Road is subject to planning consent, but the Policy Committee decision means preparatory work can now begin for the new school to open to Year 7 students in September 2015.
When open the new Maiden Erlegh School will significantly ease the pressure on secondary school places in East Reading. Without it the Council estimated that Reading’s secondary schools would be completely full by 2017. The proposed new school fulfils Reading Borough Council’s ambition for a new secondary school in East Reading which caters for 11 to 16 year olds.

Hello, I'm Chris Brant with a look at latest from Reading Borough Council in your council, your news.
The name of Reading's new bike hire scheme, has been announced.
ReadyBike is set to go live later in spring - the bikes themselves will be coloured purple and will become a common sight in Reading. The scheme will see 200 bikes 'ready' to go across 29 docking stations in and outside Reading.
You can register your interest in the bike hire scheme by visiting readybike.co.uk or you can follow @readybikerdg on twitter or search for ReadyBike RDG on Facebook.
Now more stories that have made the headlines in Reading this month;
A total of 991 potholes have been now been repaired in the five months across Reading since the Council tasked 2 new crews with the job of filling the potholes, which were caused by high levels of rainfall followed by a cold winter.
PARENTS, carers, teachers, governors and voluntary sector representatives are being invited to input into a new Special Educational Needs and Disability also known as (SEND) strategy for Reading.
The consultation is being launched in response to locally identified priorities and proposed national changes in the Children and Families
READING has one of the highest quit smoking success rates in England, according to latest figures.
The town recorded 499 'successful quits' in the six month period from April to September 2013. The impressive figure brings Reading's quit success rate up to 75%, which is one of the highest rates in England where the average currently stands at 49%.
NEARLY 500 homes across Reading are set to benefit from a trial campaign aimed at driving up recycling rates in blocks of flats, and saving the council tax payer money at the same time.
Residents in ten blocks of flats have been selected for the three-month trial, which will see recycling facilities increased and people given more options on how to recycle.
People in Reading are being asked to back a fresh bid to help conserve Reading's historic Abbey Quarter, as the Council prepares to bid again for Heritage Lottery Fund money in February.
Council is in the process of pulling together proposals for the conservation and promotion of the town's Abbey heritage -- a unique site of both local and national importance, and a key destination for residents and visitors of Reading.

Vito Marcantonio Memorial @ City Hall Park, 2016 | Vito Marcantonio Forum
We want to thank everyone who attended the fourth annual commemoration of Vito Marcantonio.

Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Speaker of the City Council Melissa Mark-Viverito, as well as U.S. Attorney and East Harlem Community Activist Gloria Quinones, Gloria spoke about Marc’s tremendous contributions to Puerto Rico right to benefit from its association with the United States while fighting for its independence, and the need to day for pubic officials to follow in his example.

Bracknell Forest Council meeting 22nd Jan 14 Blue Mountain S52
Bracknell Forest Borough Council break an agreement with residents in the borough, without a care. Note how insincere the Mayor is when thanking people - she has to read it from a sheet of paper, and how councillor Dale Birch tries to prevent transparency and accountability, knowing very well the feelings of the public present. Fortunately, the Mayor chose to ignore his request.

Reading Citizens and Reading Borough Council - 25th June 2013 - Democratic Disagreement by citizens regarding the proposed closure of Arthur Clark Old Peoples Home and the adjoining Albert Road Day Centre at Caversham Heights, north of the river Thames. Demonstration outside the Reading Town Hall by citizens objecting to a proposal by a Reading Council Sub-Committee to close both the very respected Arthur Clark Old People's Home, and the equally appreciated Albert Road Day Centre facility
The demonstration outside the Town Hall was followed by a full Council meeting to discuss the proposal officially announced by one of its Sub-Committees. This meeting was brought about as the result of the successful collection of names on a petition opposing the proposed closure which was signed by close to 4,000 persons during the last month of the four month 'consultation' period about the proposed closure.
The amendment proposed during the full Council meeting - to respect the citizens opposition to the proposed closure - was defeated in the full council vote and so the decision now reverts to be taken by the Sub-Committee which proposed it, which is due to discuss the proposed options on Monday 1st July 2013.
Press information regarding the proposed closure can be found by searching online at:

Fears over Arthur Clark Home consultation
10 Jun 2013 08:27
Council admits its preferred option is to close The Arthur Clark Home in Albert Road which provides accommodation for 24 people and respite care.
Town hall bosses have been accused of "paying lip service" to a consultation on the future of a Caversham care home.
Reading Borough Council admits its preferred option is to close The Arthur Clark Home in Albert Road, which provides accommodation for 24 people and respite care.
The authority says it would cost more than £1 million to bring it up to modern standards including roofing, electrical and plumbing works and the installation of en suite facilities.
The council insists no decision has been made, despite proposals to move residents out.
Resident Emily Smith, 86, said: "I don't look on it like a care home, it's more like a hotel -- I can't find a fault with it. All this about having your own bathroom is rubbish. No home has got that.
"I feel terrible knowing they are going to get rid of it."
Her daughter, Susan Booker, 59, said many residents had been in tears and were feeling stressed.
She said: "When we used to come into the home it was really happy, and now when we visit my mother all the residents talk about is the closure."
Mrs Smith's daughter-in-law Jenni Smith, 47, added: "Our view is they have already made the decision and are just paying lip service by having these meetings.
"It's a right site for development, it's in the heart of Caversham Heights. I reckon they are going to raze the whole lot to the ground and sell it for development."
Resident Madeline Coates, 89, wished in hindsight she had stayed living in her bungalow.
She said: "I don't want to go anywhere else.
"It breaks my heart. I told them at the meeting, if you close this home you'll break my heart. I said that and I meant it."
Another, Maureen Broadhurst, 84, added: "It was a shock when we were told it might be closing.
"When my friend came in here she told her daughter how much she liked it and she was going to stay here for the rest of her life."
Reading Borough Council said minutes of meetings had now been sent to residents and families and its priority was to ensure it did everything possible to manage any change sensitively.
It explained the cost and works needed to bring the home up to standard were based on similar work undertaken at The Willows care home in Whitley in 2010/11.
Rachel Eden, lead councillor for adult social care, said: "I am very much aware that this is a very difficult time for residents of Arthur Clark and their families.
"The consultation hasn't closed yet but I promise that the council will take the feedback very seriously and the decision will be made in public."
The council's consultation is available at www.reading.gov.uk/council/consultations.
An online petition against the closure can be found at http://chn.ge/YK83Bd.
