Mr Benyon says the article, which was published on the front page of Monday’s Daily Mirror, has had an impact on his family after he received abuse and threats on Twitter.
Also this week, questions have been raised as to the next use of Energie Fitness Club, Park Way, which closed on Monday just weeks after new management was appointed, giving little notice to members.
Former landlord, David Webster, took to Facebook to assure residents he made every effort to negotiate the lease, however said LA Fitness had already accepted an alternative offer and was “unwilling to negotiate further”.
In other news, the tenth anniversary of the West Berkshire Community Hospital was marked with a visit from Princess Anne this week.
The Princess Royal met with patients, staff and local residents for a tour around its new therapy gardens – opened this year to mark its first decade.
Meanwhile, organisers hailed year’s Thatcham Family Fun Day as the biggest and best yet.
