Recently named the second-fastest growing city in the UK, and already a regional powerhouse, Reading’s forward momentum is remarkable. High employment levels, a well-qualified local population and an established and respected university all contribute to Reading’s appeal to inward investors. The Council is playing a central role in creating the right environment for growth and ensuring that benefits are reinvested to support financial sustainability and effectively dispersed to address inequality.

Team Reading is central to this making this happen – assembling a new management team across a range of services, to create consistently high expectations, shared corporate accountability and an unswerving focus on high quality services. We have already delivered £26m of savings, and we’re on track to achieve a further £43m of efficiencies by 2020. A £0.5bn capital programme will provide new school places, homes, transport infrastructure and investment. We’re redefining how the Council delivers, influences and brokers on behalf of our community.

For those who want to be at the vanguard of modern local government: Reading is where it’s happening.
