Unfortunately, a copy of the first edition cannot be found (do any longstanding residents have one hanging around?) but we do have the July copy which reported on the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations in the village. Clearly, West Ilsley was quite a “racy” place to live in those days, and we don’t just mean the horses – the WIN reported on a cross-dressing cricket match – look out for some snippets next month!

    NEWSLETTER September 2017, Issue 7

    NEWSLETTER September 2017, issue 7 Parish Council matters The Parish Council welcomes a new councillor, Sarah Sinclair, who has been co-opted following the resignation of Bernard Nix a few months ago. Sarah brings a new perspective to the Parish Council being the parent of school-aged children. There is an increasing number of young families in Purley on Thames, so it is important that they ‘have a voice’ on the council. We are really pleased Sarah is joining us. If you would like to find out more about what the Parish Council does and how it works you can speak to the Parish Clerk, to me or any of the other councillors or come as an observer to a parish meeting. The Parish Office sometimes receives information from local residents about speeding issues in Purley on Thames. When there are concerns about speeding the local community needs to collect speeding data then, when we have a picture of a problem in a particular area we can refer it to the Traffic and Road Safety Team at West Berkshire Council. To be effective at tackling excessive speed in this way, we need a team of Speed Indicating Device (SID) volunteers to gather the data. West Berkshire Council provides training for using the equipment and all volunteers must attend. We currently have three Parish Councillors trained with SID but you don’t need to be a councillor to do this and Purley needs at least six qualified people. The next SID training session is on 25th October 6.30-8.30pm in Newbury.

A number of people from within the church community and the wider community of Purley have spoken to me about this œ expressing concern about the effects of such a withdrawal on our community life. I was glad to hear of that concern, but words of sympathy and concern alone are not enough. They will change nothing. What is needed is our action œ that has a real possibility to affect outcomes. So if you are concerned about the abolition of the Post Office Card Account, please do something to put that concern into action. Write to Martin Salter MP and ask him to sign the Early Day Motion tabled by Kate Hoey. (At the time of writing œ 9 March 263 MP's had signed it.) 1 THE RIGHT TO JUSTICE Whilst on this subject of words of concern becoming deeds of action, I would like to draw your attention to another matter of great importance.

Part D - Action Plan Details of any actions agreed through Community Recommendations, assigned to community participants, Churches Conservation Trust staff, or to the Churches Conservation Trust Local Community Officer specifically. Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance St Mary's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the hamlet of Lambourn Woodlands in the English county of Berkshire. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands on the south side of the B4000 road, some 2 miles (3 km) south of Lambourn. The church was built in 1852 and designed by the architect Thomas Talbot Bury, a pupil of Augustus Charles Pugin, in Gothic Revival style. It was declared redundant on 1 June 1990, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 24 July 1991. St Mary's is constructed in flint with stone dressings, and has slate roofs. Its plan is simple, consisting of a three-bay nave, a north aisle and a chancel.
