What else is new
  • 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.
  • Ten to fifteen dead elm trees have been taken down along Muddy Lane, by the Green Team, as they were posing a safety hazard to passers-by. Muddy Lane is now under the responsibility of the Parish Council.
  • Footsteps - child pedestrian safety. The programme is designed as a short, step-by-step guide, with video, to help parents and carers teach young children the skills they need to use the road safely and become more confident pedestrians. Download more info here.
  • Pangbourne Meadow is one of 13 new sites in England  given bathing water status today, 15 May. These sites will be regularly tested by the Environment Agency to keep swimmers better informed about water quality.
