  • 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 This is to ensure that parish councils that meet later in the month don’t receive out of date news.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.

  • Guidance for the Completion of Rate Relief Applications Under Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 Rural Rate Relief
    Guidance for the completion of rate relief applications under Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 rural rate relief These notes are aimed to assist you in completing the enclosed application form for rural rate relief. The scheme - there are two parts to the scheme. The first is a mandatory relief scheme that allows 100 per cent relief from rate liability from 1 April 2017. This can be awarded to the only post office, the only general store, the only public house, the only petrol filling station, or a food shop in a ‘designated rural settlement’ with a population not exceeding 3,000. The rateable value of the property at the beginning of the rating year must not exceed a specified amount. For post offices, general stores and food shops the rateable value must be no more than £8,500, whilst for public houses and petrol filling stations the rateable value must be no more than £12,500. The second part is a discretionary relief scheme. The Council may award up to 100 per cent discretionary relief, to any small rural business which is situated in a ‘designated rural settlement’, if the rateable value does not exceed £16,500. The Council has to be satisfied that the business is of benefit to the local community and that it is reasonable to award relief given the cost to the council taxpayers of the district. Definitions A post office is within the meaning of the Post Office Act 1953. A sole general store must sell food for human consumption (not just confectionery) and general household goods.
