Newbury Town Council supports study into Universal Basic Income
Support for ‘game changer‘ scheme for people struggling below poverty line
Jonathan Ashby
NEWBURY Town Council has approved a motion supporting a study into Universal Basic Income (UBI).
In a full council meeting on Monday, February 1, councillor Steve Masters (Green, Speenhamland) put forward a motion requesting that the town council “supports, in principle, a UBI and calls on our MP Laura Farris and the Government to provide funds to establish a study scheme in Newbury”.
The motion will not see any council funds spent – instead it expresses the council’s support for the initiative, encourages members and local stakeholders to explore how a UBI trial could be established in Newbury and calls on the Government for funding for trials to test how the initiative could support people across the country.
1,000 home Sandleford development in Newbury to be decided by appeal
District council cites 14 reasons to reject latest application from developer
John Herring
A PLANNING inquiry will determine if 1,000 homes will be built at Sandleford Park.
Bloor Homes and Sandleford Homes Partnership has appealed against West Berkshire Council refusing its scheme to build the homes off Monks Lane last year.
Sandleford was adopted for up to 2,000 homes in the council’s core strategy in 2012 and half of the homes were expected to be built by 2026.
The council has included Sandleford in its Local Plan Review for up to 1,000 homes and now assumes a contribution of 200 homes by 2026.
