Whitley Big Local are the steering group in charge of how to distribute lottery funding of £1m. They have already brought the Whitley cafe to South Reading as well as helping many other smaller projects. This week they had their AGM, where Cllr Ashley Pearce was elected as Vice-Chair and ideas were shared amongst local representatives from the University, schools, charities and others. The next major plans include revamping their website and working to get parking for the cafe. If you wish to contribute any ideas or thoughts, please email whitleybiglocal@gmail.com
