About

Tilehurst South sits to the west of Reading town centre and forms part of the suburb of Tilehurst. The A4 Bath Road crosses the ward and Tilehurst railway station is at the southern edge, offering regular local services into Reading and westwards. Bus routes and local road connections make commuting straightforward. Housing ranges from terraces and semi-detached streets to small pockets of later suburban development. Shops and takeaways cluster along main roads and smaller parades, and community facilities include a library, health clinic and several primary schools.

Green space and walking routes are part of everyday life: small parks, allotments and a network of public footpaths run up the hill behind the neighbourhood, producing clear sightlines from some streets across the Kennet valley and Reading’s central area. Local clubs and church halls host groups for children and older residents, while markets and occasional street fairs appear on high streets. The ward’s scale keeps most services within a short walk or a short bus ride of homes.
