What else is new
- With sadness, the death of Pearl Slatter was announced on 15th June. She was an active member of the community who served as a District Councillor for many years. Her funeral will be held at St John's, Whitchurch Hill, 31st July at noon. An obituary will follow.
- 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.
