Just a couple of things that may be of interest

1 Sainsburys have submitted a planning application to expand their store at Winnersh crossroads.  It isn’t a massive change, but does mean a slightly bigger store which will take up some of the existing parking spaces.  So they are looking to add extra parking on the piece of land that is currently unused at the back of the car park.  There are also implications for the card shop.  You can see the full details by searching for F/2014/0949 at http://www.wokingham.gov.uk/planning/services/search/ 

2 The Council will be carrying out work on the A 329 (M) during the school summer holidays.  Specifically, they will be working on the bridge over the Loddon by the Showcase Cinema.  This work will start on 23rd July and end on 2nd September.  It was initial works on this bridge that caused the horrendous tailbacks a few months ago.  The Council has, I am pleased to say, listened to the huge number of complaints from the public and tried to plan better so as to avoid similar congestion problems again.  Everyone in the area should be getting a letter in the next few weeks to explain what is happening.   This is just a heads up to say that there will be disruption, lane closures and a contraflow, and you won’t be able to get off the A 329(M) at Winnersh if you are coming from Reading, or on it at Winnersh if you want to go to Reading.
