Local Services Cooperate at FIRST bus in Town Centre

By Administrator , 11 January 2026

The Reading FIRST bus will be offering first aid, health and recovery services in Hosier Street on Friday and Saturday nights from 9pm to 4am. The service has been an initiative of Reading Borough Council's Health and Wellbeing Board and is supported cooperatively by NHS CCGs, Police, Ambulance Service, Reading Borough Council, Reading Local Strategic Partnership and the Government. The aim is to help those who get into difficulties in the town centre at night and to take the load of the RBH A&E department. You can read the Reading Chronicle report on the introduction of the FIRST bus here.
