Situated to the west of Reading, Tilehurst Parish extends from the A4 in the south to a few metres short of the A329 in the north. The Reading boundary forms the eastern border whilst its western border follows the line of the Sulham escarpment.

The present Tilehurst Parish was created on the extension of the Reading Borough boundary in 1919. Tilehurst Parish Council became responsible for the rural area of the old Tilehurst and, with the remainder being within the Reading Borough area, it became known as Tilehurst Without. It now serves a population of approximately 14,500, with an electorate of approximately 11,100, and covers an area of 11 square miles.

The Council manages four recreation grounds and three community halls. The Parish’s Sports Centre and two further plots of land are leased to West Berkshire District Council to meet education and social service needs in the local area. 

Resurfacing of A4 at Calcot

This Council has been advised by West Berkshire Council that work to resurface the A4 Bath Road, Calcot (between Langley Hill Junction and the District Boundary) will be undertaken between the 7 – 23 September, in four phases.  The only information we have been given is as follows:

Phase 1 – Westbound from Mill Lane to Langley Hill Junction under a directional closure. Working hours 09:30 – 16:00. Estimated 4 days.  Programmed dates 7 - 10 September.

Phase 2 – Eastbound from Langley Hill Junction to Mill Lane under a directional closure. Working hours 09:30 – 16:00. Estimated 4 days.  Programmed dates 11 - 16 September.  No weekend working.

Phase 3 – Eastbound from Mill Lane to District Boundary under a directional closure. Working hours 09:30 – 16:00. Estimated 3 days.  Programmed dates 17 - 21 September.  No weekend working.

Phase 4 – Westbound from District Boundary to Mill Lane under a directional closure. Working hours 09:30 – 16:00. Estimated 2 days. Programmed dates 22 & 23 September. 

NOTE: during this time there will be no access out of Mill Lane onto the A4. Traffic will be diverted along The Chase and Pollards Way. A temporary “ table top” will be created at the existing bus gate to enable two way access during this period. Temporary signage and “gatemen” will be on site at this time.
