General

We are are non political group who are fighting to keep Pincents Hill as a green oasis in the spreading urban sprawl and to prevent it from becoming a concreted extension to Reading.  We need to keep the Strategic Gap, or green space, separating the villages of Tilehurst, Calcot and Theale so that we can retain our identity, our sense of place.  The last big natural open space remaining of the 1000 acres of common land that used to belong to Tilehurst.  The land that is teaming with wildlife - part of the corridor ridge that extends to Reading.

We are grateful for the support of our MP Martin Salter (Labour) who is fighting very hard to keep the Strategic Gap from being developed and also to Alok Sharma (Conservative) who has been unstinting with his help and support; and a big thank you to the Liberals and Green Party for their articles in the local press offering their support - all help is very much appreciated. 

Also thank you to our MEP James Elles who has special Conservative responsibility for the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire for giving his support.
