It’s almost a year since the first train picked up passengers at Green Park Station and it’s proved to be popular with residents, businesses and football fans travelling to the Select Car Leasing Stadium. There have been around 160,000 passenger journeys through the station in the last 12 months which has surpassed expectations. And the Council has made it easier to travel to and from the station with the new Buzz 9 bus route. The Council worked with Great Western Railway and Network Rail to open Reading’s first new railway station in more than 100 years. Has it made travelling easier for you?

Project Skyway is a groundbreaking initiative which aims to revolutionise aviation by extending the operational range of drones and unlocking new opportunities. The Council is one of several organisations that are part of the Skyway consortium which is led by local Reading company Altitude Angels. The consortium is working with the Civil Aviation Authority on the project which could allow drones to be used for vital services, such as delivering lifesaving medical supplies, surveying land for environmental conservation and for traffic management. Watch the video below to learn more about this project and how it could shape the future of aviation. http://rdguk.info/LbhpV Questions or comments?
