The Government’s own Heritage watchdog has supported calls for Reading Gaol to be turned into an arts hub. I’m now calling on the Ministry of Justice to rethink its plan to see the gaol off and turn it into luxury flats.

I believe the gaol should be saved and turned into an arts and heritage hub for our community and the country as a whole.
