The Ministry of Justice has decided to sell the Gaol to a developer.
PLEASE SIGN THIS NEW PETITION : https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-reading-gaol-reconsider-the-bids
PLEASE WRITE TO YOUR MP
Reading Borough Council have submitted a bid for the Gaol with the aim of turning it into a cultural hub. The bid is conditional on getting external public funding. The bids are currently being evaluated. We believe that several bids have been submitted.
Contact your MP
