Grainger Plc, One of the UK's Leading Residential WELCOME Grainger plc, one of the UK’s leading residential property companies and the UK’s largest listed residential landlord, has been selected by Network Rail and West Berkshire Council to develop the site. Located between the railway station and Market Street the site includes the existing bus station and council car park. Grainger has appointed a team of consultants to look at various technical aspects of the site. As part of this team, architects and masterplanners JTP has worked with the local community to create a Vision for the ‘urban village’ and its relationship with the town centre. This process began with a Community Planning Weekend, held in July 2015, when it was decided to establish the Market Street, Newbury Community Forum. We have since met in September 2015. This exhibition has been prepared to give the local community the opportunity to view the proposals which have recently been submitted for planning. This Introduction event is an opportunity to see and discuss the latest proposals, including the updated physical model.

  • Parish Council Report for June 2021
    Parish Council Report for August 2021 Councillor Clive Hooker, Downlands Ward West Berkshire Council During this period, I have been fortunate to be able to get out and about the District visiting local functions as Chairman of the Council, the first was to present gold medals to children who had accepted the Summer reading challenge to read six books over the school summer school holiday and to have completed the challenge, all organised and run by the Newbury Library. It was good to see so many young children coming into the library to sign up and collect their registration cards and walk off with their chosen books to read. Another very enjoyable event I attended, accompanied by my wife Christine, was to open the Beedon Village Fun Day. This was really well organised event with lots of village and local people turning up to let their inhabitations go and get signed up for all manner of races from egg and spoon, three-legged, sack race and Tug-o-War. This showed wonderful community spirt organised for everyone’s enjoyment and all for free. On an important road safety note, I have received a considerable amount of correspondence regarding the uncut verges on our roads around the Ward, with the main concern being for the safety of motorists and cyclists. I have taken this up with the Highways Department who have assured me that a programme of work will start at the end of August so I am hoping that we are going to see some activity with the cutting of verges, starting in the Peasemore area.

  • UK Local Authorities and International Development
    UK local authorities and international development 2004 survey results analysis By Rosalie Callway UK local authorities and international development 2004 survey results analysis Globalisation affects the communities we live in. Whilst local authorities focus on supporting the needs of those communities, they are also playing an increasingly greater role on the world stage through trade, tourism and investment. Like the UK Local Government Alliance for International Development, many councils know that international development is about more than simply helping poor communities in developing countries. It’s also about recognising the links to challenges on our doorsteps. This booklet sets out the results of a 2004 survey of UK local authorities and their involvement in international development activities. It gives an indication of the level of interest in international work and sets out why councils get involved in projects and partnerships in the developing world. It also highlights the issues that are holding local authorities back from greater involvement internationally.

The findings will help inform the further work of the Alliance in promoting the importance of international development to local government and local communities across the UK. We would like to thank all the authorities that responded to the survey.
