Katesgrove

Katesgrove is an inner-town district and electoral ward situated immediately to the south of the centre of the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire.

The traditional definition of the district of Katesgrove is bounded on the north by the Inner Distribution Road, on the east by Sidmouth Street, Kendrick Road and Northumberland Avenue, on the south by Long Barn Lane and Rose Kiln Lane and on the west by the River Kennet.

[1] The Katesgrove electoral ward of the Borough of Reading corresponds closely to the district.

In addition to the traditional definition of Katesgrove (as given above), the ward includes a strip of land between the A33 and the River Kennet, including the flats on the site of the Reading Central goods depot and the commercial buildings to the south, that would more normally be regarded as part of the districts of Coley and Coley Park.

As of 2024[update], the councillors are Doug Cresswell, Louise Keane and Kate Nikulina, all of the Green Party.
