CADRA is looking to the future and keen to focus on what matters most to our members and the local community. We would really appreciate a few minutes of your time to complete a survey and to give us your thoughts and suggestions.
Please help us to cover a good cross section across Caversham and Emmer Green and share this link: CADRA Survey

CADRA has been shortlisted for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK to recognise outstanding work done in their own communities. It was created in 2002 to celebrate the anniversary of The Queen’s coronation – the MBE for volunteer groups. Winners of the 2020 award are expected to be announced later this year, but we feel honoured to have been put forward by the Lord Lieutenant and to have reached this stage. This is the certificate we were awarded for our nomination.
The Elected Committee meets monthly to discuss the current areas of interest, and afterwards we email members, with a summary of the topics we think will be of most interest - The Monthly Roundup.
Each spring and autumn we publish a newsletter to coincide with our AGM and open autumn meetings.
To get in touch see our Contact Details.
These are our main areas of interest are:
Planning - This takes up a large proportion of our time, tracking local applications and the development of strategic plans and policies.
Conservation Areas - We work with other groups across Reading to try and address the deterioration in many of our Conservation Areas.
Licensing - With the advent of the new licensing laws, we became involved in reviewing licensing applications including those for large events such as Reading Festival.
Safer Neighbourhood - We work the police, other agencies and local groups to help people feel safe in the home and out in the community, to improve the quality of life in our area.
Traffic and Transport - We review traffic and transport changes and when appropriate attend, question and present to Reading Borough Council's Traffic Management Sub Committee.
Special Projects - We lead or share in special projects for our area.
