The latest edition of 'Our News' from the Neighbourhood watch Team for September 2021 can be downloaded and viewed here.

“If you do not currently have a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in your road, with all the lovely community spirit and neighbours getting to know one another, it is the ideal time to set up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in part or all of your road. If you would like Angela Money, who is the Neighbourhood Watch Area Representative for West Berkshire, to send you details of how to set up a scheme or if you have any other queries, please phone her on 01635 40866, 07774962641or forward your email address to: ajmy5m7@inbox.com and she will make contact with you. With email now or by setting up a closed Facebook or WhatsApp Group, it is so easy to forward the Police/NHW/Action Fraud Alerts on to your neighbours. Neighbourhood Watch signs, stickers and leaflets are free plus all neighbours receive various local discounts. It is important for more schemes to be set up as this will help combat crime and make the community a safer place to live.”

We have received notification from WBC regarding a temporary byway closure in East Ilsley (see map). WBC has made an Order in accordance with Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to prohibit all mechanically propelled vehicles from proceeding in any direction over these byways: EILS12/1 & EILS1/4. 

Red marks the byway sections closed, green shows the alternative route. 

The purpose of this Order is to preserve the regraded surface and to allow compaction and regrowth of vegetation. 

The proposed Order will come into effect on Wednesday 15th September 2021 and will remain in force until Tuesday 15th March 2022.
