Despite the turn out of around 40 people at Shute End for a demonstration against a specific part of the Local Plan (the 3,930 houses proposed for a new Strategic Development Location at Hall Farm, referred to in the plan as the "Loddon Garden Village") and the presence of a photographer from Wokingham Today, our objections are, once again, conspicuous by their absence.

​

We were denied a voice for a debate after our petition, we are ignored by the local press at our last public demonstration, and sadly we are largely unrepresented by our Borough Councillors, many of whom prefer to toe the party line rather than represent the views of residents.

​

DO NOT ALLOW THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT PASS YOU BY! START TO MAKE YOUR OWN NOTES NOW. DO NOT RELY ON OTHERS TO DO THIS FOR YOU, ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT CONCERNS YOU.

​

That said, we will be publishing guidance on making comments soon, and you can join us at our next public meeting to ask questions, see below for details. Arborfield Village Hall is a fairly small venue with limited parking so I strongly advise you to reserve a seat at this event.
