Reading Daily covers Reading, Caversham, Tilehurst and Whitley. We do two things. We report the local news that comes off public records, planning decisions, crime figures, council spending, so you can see what is actually changing in the area Reading Borough Council serves. And we keep the everyday information you look up again and again in one clear place: when your bin is collected, where to park, and what your council tax band costs.

What you will find here

• Local Info: the practical pages, bin collection days, parking and council tax bands.
• News: what the public record shows, including planning applications.
• What’s On: things to do in and around Reading.

Every fact we publish is linked to its official source, so you can check it yourself.
