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 This is to ensure that parish councils that meet later in the month don’t receive out of date news.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

  • Appendix 6: Consultation Process
    Appendix 6: Consultation Process 1. Overall approach to consulting patients and the public A public consultation was held over five weeks between 12 May and 15 June 2015. The communications and engagement activities delivered during this time were agreed by the CCG’s Townlands Steering Group (“the Group”) at its meeting on 30 April 2015. The membership of this group includes representatives of the CCG, the County Council, Oxford Health, the Royal Berkshire Hospital NHS Trusts, NHS Properties, EC Harris Consultants and the Chair of the Townlands Steering Group. The length of the consultation had been agreed by the Chair of the Oxfordshire Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee. The group agreed that its preferred engagement approach would maximise the opportunities for greater discussion and exploration of the issues. With this in mind, it was agreed that a large, deliberative, consultation event should be held in Henley, complemented by the attendance of lead clinicians and project team members, at a range of patient, stakeholder and community meetings within the affected population, when the proposals could be presented and in-depth discussions take place. In addition to the deliberative event and meetings, a questionnaire was developed to allow the public to give views on the overall principles of the proposed new model of care, as well as a number of open questions to allow respondents to respond fully. Responses were invited from organisations and individuals with an interest in the proposals. A number of different ways to contribute
