Stop Hall Farm Development, Protect Floodplains
Residents of Earley, Woodley, and Shinfield are calling on Wokingham Borough Council and the Planning Inspectorate to reconsider the proposed 4,000-home Hall Farm development. The site regularly floods, local roads are already at capacity, and irreplaceable green spaces would be lost — demanding an independent flood risk review, a funded transport plan, reduced housing numbers, and genuine community consultation before any approval is granted.

Stop the East West Rail (EWR) project. Save our homes and farmland.
Immediately stop the EWR project and protect our countryside. Invest in repairing and improving existing rail infrastructure to help ensure more punctual, clean services with better facilities—before creating new lines that we think could devastate farmland, wildlife habitats, and rural communities.
Increase waterway dredging to help prevent flooding
Increase dredging of our waterways to assist in preventing flooding. We view dredging as essential to enhance the water-carrying capacity of our rivers & streams. By increasing this capacity, we could significantly help reduce the risk of flooding, which threatens businesses, homes, & lives.
