Neighbourhood Watch
Every few days it seems we receive a 'Ringmaster' email from local police telling us of crime issues in and around our road. Occasionally we have advance warning of special events - such as deliveries to every door.

Link to Amenities
From this page you will find plenty of links that include - Reading Council, transport - buses, trains and aircraft - schools, banks, shops, restaurants and Estate Agents. We also plan to include links to the larger employers in the area.
Blog Forum
There are probably quite a few in the road who would enjoy sharing their thoughts in the Community Blog with our readers - we currently attract around 1000 visits a month.  This is a new feature and will probably attract the help of a voluntary moderator.
Local History
Here we aim to explore a wide range of topics connected with this wonderful road - from interesting people who have and do live here, buildings from early days until now and maps that give all a chance to see how things looked and have changed over the last 100 years. Ideas for more topics are very welcome.
  Special Requests
Use the Form on this page to Request various things - from a Windscreen Sticker to placing an Advertisement of a local Caversham business. Later this year we plan to approach our local traders who may wish to advertise on this website following support for this shown at the 2009 AGM.
