  • 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.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Boxford Circular
    BOXFORD CIRCULAR Distance = 22 km (14 miles) Difficulty = Intermediate Category = On-Road Start Point = Market Place, Newbury Although not the longest, this scenic ride has its fair share of hills. Leaving Newbury to the west, join the canal at Guyer’s Lock and head along the towpath as far as Marsh Benham. After crossing the A4, climb out of the Kennet Valley, before dropping down to Hoe Benham then back up to the B4000. The route then descends into Boxford. After passing through the village, it takes in a couple of short sharp climbs on the way to Winterbourne before heading back to Newbury via Bagnor. If you are in need of refreshments then you are spoiled for choice, with the Red House at Marsh Benham, the Bell at Boxford, the Winterbourne Arms or the Blackbird at Bagnor. www.westberkshirespokes.org Map courtesy of www.sketchmap.co.uk Total Link Directions km km 0.1 0.1 @ traffic signals into Cheap Street 0.3 0.2 @ mini-rbt to continue along Market Street 0.4 0.1 @ traffic signals into Bartholomew Street 0.5 0.1 @ mini-rbt into Craven Road 1.5 1.0 @ barrier into cycle track 1.7 0.2 @ barrier into cycle track 1.8 0.1 @ junction into Bonemill Lane (unmade road) 2.0 0.2 @ gate continuing along Bonemill Lane (unmade road) 2.2 0.2 @ T-junction to join towpath 2.3 0.1 @ bridge 2.4 0.1 @ gate to join towpath 5.7 3.3 @ bridge into Station Road 6.2 0.5 @ X-roads towards Wickham Heath 7.4 1.2 @ X-roads into Nalder Hill Road towards Wickham Heath 8.9 1.5 @ T-junction towards Hoe Benham 9.9 1.0 @ staggered X-roads towards Boxford
