- A total of £270k is available to support community projects. The grant scheme launches on 17 August and is open to non-profit organisations. The deadline for applications is midday 4 December. More details about which groups are eligible and how to apply are on the South Oxfordshire District Council grants webpage.
- Just a reminder that bonfires are unneighbourly and can be dangerous, particularly during the current drought. Evidenced by the smouldering building site fire yesterday (Fri), visiting contractors might also need reminding of this.
- Due to prolonged dry weather and very low rainfall levels, Thames Water have announced a temporary hosepipe ban for their customers. If you're not sure whether Thames Water supplies your water, you can check here to find out.
- James Norman who led a tour and talk on Pangbourne’s Floodplain Meadow a couple of weeks ago tells us that the meadow is now really gorgeous and almost everything is in full flower. If you can fit in a walk over the next week or so it is a joy to see. Also, much of the walk can be done in the shade!
- High Street and Eastfield Lane virtual pedestrian crossing plan - one part of the work the Parish Council has been doing with OCC over the past few years has been to create a crossing point in the High Street near the Greyhound, improving safety for pedestrians using Eastfield Lane. This work has now been approved, and will be implemented shortly after the Eastfield Lane resurfacing project. You can read Jim Donahue's brief description of the project here.
