  • Item 6 Appendix 1 Composite Scheme Reports
    Report Date : 10 July 2019 2.01 Newbury: King's Road Link Road Current Project Status : Green West Berkshire Council Highlights since last report Contractor for the main works has been appointed by the Developer. A meeting between West Berkshire Council, Homes England and the Developer is due to take place in July to finalise the funding agreements. 1. Scheme The scheme is the delivery of the Kings Road Link Road in Newbury. It is a new direct link between the Hambridge Road industrial area and the A339 to support housing delivery and significantly improve access to a key employment area. 2. Progress with the scheme With the decontamination process complete, the Developer has appointed a contractor for the main works. It is a two stage tender so the contractor will be working with the Developer through stage 2 leading to a start on site of the main works in mid-August. Network Rail has completed the work to replace the rail bridge adjacent to the redevelopment site. The new bridge was open to traffic at the end of January 2017 following the 12 month replacement programme. Initially there is a traffic light controlled single lane system operating until the redevelopment of the industrial estate is complete and the northern approach to the bridge has been widened. Then the bridge will operate with two lanes and the traffic lights will be removed. This will have a great benefit to the transport network in this area. The Council and the Developer have established a funding agreement to ensure the correct governance of the public money contributing to this scheme.

  • Thoughts of a New Parish Councillor
    Thoughts of a new Parish Councillor If you are one of the millions of people who watched the newly sainted Jackie Weaver lay down the law, you might be pleasantly surprised if you visit a meeting of Speen Parish Council. I encountered something very different to the infamous Handforth Planning and Environment Committee when I joined the Council about six months ago. Instead of tantrums, I found a group of local volunteers reaching sensible decisions after reasonable debate, with an experienced chair who listens and a hard-working clerk who knows the rules and gives good advice. A team. No drama – just the will to get things done for the residents of Speen Parish in Speen, Bagnor, Stockcross, Woodspeen and Marsh Benham. I hope that doesn’t disappoint you! I read that one consequence of the Handforth Horror Show is ‘hugely increased interest’ in Council meetings so it seems this is a good time to say that the public is welcome at Speen’s monthly Council meetings. I took advantage of this open invitation when I popped along to the virtual ‘Annual Meeting’ last July. Shortly afterwards, I was asked if I would be prepared to be co-opted as a member. The role is immensely worthwhile and, when you care about where you spend your life, very rewarding. If you are reading this and thinking it might be for you, then do get in touch. You might also be asking what does a Parish Council do? The main tasks of the Parish Council are to provide facilities and represent the people of the Parish.
