  • Parish Report Feb 2020
    REPORT TO PARISH COUNCILS FEBRUARY 2020 FROM CLLR DAVID BARTHOLOMEW As per my note last month, I have changed the way I supply reports and I now send out my ‘General OCC Report’ to all parish councils at the beginning of the month. This is to ensure that parish councils that meet later in the month don’t receive out of date news. I will take questions on the report at PC meetings and then deliver my local report in the usual way. GENERAL OCC REPORT SPECIAL THIRD READING BRIDGE MEETING FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2020 At an informal joint meeting of parish councils from the southern part of Oxfordshire on 31st January 2020 to discuss the proposed Third Reading Bridge, the following resolution was overwhelmingly passed: a) In the context of the Climate Emergency a car-based solution to a car-based problem that would pour thousands of cars and HGVs into Oxfordshire is totally inappropriate and should a new bridge be built it should be restricted to public transport, cyclists and pedestrians; b) Notwithstanding the above, if a car-based solution is pursued, the proposed bridge and necessary mitigation measures (i.e. improvements to the Oxfordshire road network) are not considered as two separate projects, but as one single project in order that the benefits, disadvantages and costs of the complete scheme can be holistically assessed. I was asked to communicate this fact to the MP Bridge Summit meeting in March. Representatives from these parish councils attended: Binfield Heath, Eye & Dunsden, Harpsden, Highmoor, Ipsden, Kidmore End, Rotherfield Greys, Rotherfield Peppard, Shiplake, Sonning Common.

  • Download Map (PDF)
    We’re delighted to present three circular walks all starting and ending at The New Inn. The Brakspear Pub Trails are a series of circular walks. We thought the idea of a variety of circular country walks all starting and ending at our pubs was a guaranteed winner. We have fantastic pubs nestled in the countryside, and we hope our maps are a great way for you to get out and enjoy some fresh air and a gentle walk, with a guaranteed drink at the end – perfect! Our pubs have always welcomed walkers (and almost all of them welcome dogs too), so we’re making it even easier with plenty of free maps. You can pick up copies in the pubs taking part or go to brakspearaletrails.co.uk to download them. We’re planning to add new pubs onto them, so the best place to check for the latest maps available is always our website. We absolutely recommend you book a table so that when you finish your walk you can enjoy a much needed bite to eat too. At the weekend, please book in advance, as this is often a busier time, especially our smaller pubs. And finally, do send us your photos of you out and about on your walk. We really do love getting them. @BrakspearPubs How to get there Driving: Postcode is RG4 9AU and there is a car park for customers. Nearest station: Tilehurst 6.4 miles away. Local bus services: The 25 pink bus service (Reading Buses) stops in Sonning Common on Wood Lane.

This was brought home to me recently when a pet was sadly killed in Crays Pond by a car travelling at excessive speed, and when one of our Councillors men- tioned that he had personally observed how frequently cars were driving beyond the speed limits whilst he was working on repairing one of our bus shelters. This clearly puts our community at risk. In turn, I find it surprising how challenging it is to get the support and action of Oxford County Council (OCC) Highways to help address this, given how obvious it is that it is the right thing to do and all the tail winds in society point to the benefits of reduced speeds in general, whether for safety or environmental considerations.
