Battle

RG1 8 / RG30 1 / RG30 2 / RG30 3 / RG30 4 / RG30 9 / RG31 5

Battle ward sits just south of the town centre. A mix of Victorian terraces and some social housing, with Oxford Road running through it providing the everyday shops and takeaways. It's one of the more affordable parts of Reading and has a diverse, younger population. Not the quietest area but it's walkable to town and the station.
