2026 Reading Borough Council election
The 2026 Reading Borough Council election will be held on 7 May 2026, alongside the other local elections across the United Kingdom being held on the same day, to elect 16 of 48 members of Reading Borough Council.

Due to ongoing local government reorganisation, this will be the final election to Reading Borough Council before it is abolished and replaced by a successor unitary authority. Elections to the successor authority are due to take place in 2027.

Upcoming structural changes to local government in England
Proposed structural changes to local government in England were set out in the English Devolution White Paper published by the UK government on 16 December 2024. This wave of local government restructuring—following previous changes in 1995–1998, 2009 and 2019–2023—is referred to as Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) by the UK government. As with earlier waves of reorganisation, areas where services are provided by both county councils and district councils will instead be served by single-tier unitary authorities. It is intended that the first elections to the new councils will be on 6 May 2027, and the councils will begin operation on 1 April 2028. For Surrey, an accelerated timeline is planned, with elections on 7 May 2026, and the new councils beginning operation on 1 April 2027. The process runs alongside, but separate to, the expansion of combined authorities to more of the country as part of English devolution.

The 6th century Basilica of St. John the Apostle, which, some claim, is built on the site of the Apostle's tomb, is also inside the town. Procopius said that the basilica was a most sacred and honoured place in Ephesus. It was severely damaged in the invasion of Selçuk Turks in 1090. The place was excavated in 1927, and Pope Paul VI paid it a visit and prayed there.
Steel fixer
A steel fixer (UK, ironworker or "rod buster" in the United States) is a tradesman who positions and secures steel reinforcing bars, also known as rebar, and steel mesh used in reinforced concrete on construction projects.

Steel fixers are also responsible for attaching "spacers" and "chairs" that determine the amount of concrete cover.

These are the results of the rhythmic individual all-around competition, the only Rhythmic Gymnastic event at the 1992 Summer Olympics. The four pieces of apparatus used were ball, clubs, hoop, and rope (ribbon was omitted). 42 gymnasts competed in the preliminary round.

The format for the competition was unusual. Instead of choosing the gymnasts with the highest scores from the qualifying round to advance to the final (as had been the case in 1984 and 1988), it was decided that the six best would qualify for the final, along with the top 12 for each apparatus, meaning that nine of the 17 finalists performed in the final with only one to three pieces of apparatus and had no chance to win.

Each gymnast carried forward half her preliminary round score (prelim score) to the final, where it was added to her score in the final (final score).
Defaux (surname)
Defaux is a surname popular in Belgium and northeastern France.

Like its cognates/variants De Fauw and Faux, it could derive from fou, fau (Old French for "beech"); be a toponymic surname indicating origin from a place called Faux or Faulx (possibly Faulx-les-Tombes in Wallonia, Belgium; Faux, Court-Saint-Étienne, Belgium; Wavrechain-sous-Faulx in the Nord department; a commune in Pas-de-Calais, or one in the Ardennes) or derive from the adjective "faux" (Middle French: "faulx").

Alexandre Defaux  (1826–1900), French artist

Gérard Defaux (1937–2004), French American writer

Middle French
Middle French (French: moyen français) is a historical division of the French language that covers the period from the mid-14th to the early 17th centuries. It is a period of transition during which:

the French language became clearly distinguished from the other competing Oïl languages, which are sometimes subsumed within the concept of Old French (l'ancien français)

the French language was imposed as the official language of the Kingdom of France in place of Latin and other Oïl and Occitan languages

the literary development of French prepared the vocabulary and grammar for the Classical French (le français classique) spoken in the 17th and 18th centuries.

It is the first version of French that is largely intelligible to Modern French, contrary to Old French.
