Ian says: “I am an experienced business manager with more than 40 years of experience managing IT projects, comprising consultancy services, applications developments, applications maintenance and support, and infrastructure support. I am retired now and am maintaining my hobby of teaching and practicing Shotokan Karate in Emmer Green. I have been living in Reading for the last 16 years. Reading Borough Council’s services as listed on their website landing page highlight the following:

• Vehicles roads and transport,
• Leisure, planning and building control,
• Waste and recycling,
• Housing benefits and assistance and adult care.

As a resident of Katesgrove Ward:

 Do you face any issues with any of these services?  

 Have they improved since the last time you voted for your councillor?

 Would you support the formation of a community-led task force to identify the most pressing issues facing Katesgrove Ward and develop action plans to address them?

 Would you vote for someone new to work with in your community to develop these action plans and drive the activities required to bring about the changes you require?

 Please get in touch if you would like to be part of a group making a difference by driving the actions needed to bring about the changes you require."
