Yesterday, Conservative Cllr Tim Harris received unanimous cross-party support for his motion asking that Reading Borough Council assist with a £10,000 grant to enable the establishment of a local Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) support centre.
Cllr Tim Harris said. “As Reading Conservatives we were in no doubt that an LGBT centre would be a real benefit to our town's residents. To get it endorsed by every single councillor on Reading Borough Council was a pleasant surprise, and as a result we should see the centre up and running shortly.”
Leader of the Conservative Group, Cllr Andrew Cumpsty said “For me, supporting and celebrating diversity is a mark of a decent and civilized society and by supporting this initiative, Reading is once again providing support and hope for all folk from the LGBT community."
