What else is new
- OCC have confirmed that the roadworks sign in Pangbourne near the toll bridge is incorrect. Work in Whitchurch begins on 8th July with closures not starting until 23rd July as previously communicated on this web-site.
- Hardwick Road planning application for new houses. This application has been updated and comments are now due by 7th July. There is a link to the application here .
- 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.
- 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.
