Calcot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calcot is a suburb of Reading, near to Junction 12 of the M4 motorway and the settlements of Theale and Tilehurst, in the English county of Berkshire.
[edit] Amenities
There are two schools in Calcot sharing the same grounds, Calcot Junior School and Calcot Infant School which encorporates a nursery. When children leave primary school at 11 they attend secondary schools in neighbouring villages.
The transport in Calcot is very good. Buses and trains run regularly and the M4 is minutes away.
[edit] Government
Although unquestionably a suburb of Reading, Calcot is not within the Borough of Reading. Rather it forms part of the civil parish of Holybrook, which has an elected parish council. It in turn is part of the area of the unitary authority of West Berkshire. Both the parish council and the unitary authority are responsible for different aspects of local government.
Calcot is part of the Reading West parliamentary constituency.
