@ReadingGaolHugger has been keeping a low profile since hugging and linking hands with strangers became more or less illegal. However, the news from @Banksy has woken us up. Thank you #Banksy for your generosity. A big virtual hug from the huggers. https://t.co/THbjs08gtt

My letter to @RobertBuckland seeking a meeting between him, myself and @ReadingCouncil to urge his department to rethink their rejection of the fair offer made for Reading Gaol. I am determined to protect this historic site for our local community. #rdguk

Incredible media interest in a possible #Banksy work on the wall of #ReadingGaol This shows once again the national and international importance of this unique historic building. @Eastreadingcom @ReadingCivicSoc #artwork #rdguk

Living in the shadow of London’s commuter belt, Reading’s tech-led economy is quietly withstanding the pandemic and the 'town' looks better set for the future than many UK cities, writes @WhiteakerJon #futureofBritishCities @ReadingUK @ReadingCouncil https://t.co/sYOUI5Zu9m

Been making case to @MoJGovUK over some time for a regeneration of Reading Gaol which recognises its iconic heritage & delivers a local arts and culture hub. Thanks @RobertBuckland for confirming period of exclusivity for @ReadingCouncil to develop a business case with partners!

The BBC reported that the Developer who planned to purchase #ReadingGaol (Artisan of the Isle of Man) has just withdrawn. One good thing to come out of #COVID19. Best of luck to our friends in Reading who are fighting to stop the sale of the Gaol. #OscarWilde #heritage
