The other day without warning, workers turned up to cancel (black-out) one of the double yellow lines along Valley Gardens. At the same time, as far as I’ve been given to understand, they put double yellow lines along Thatcham Avenue. Usually, when there’s a single yellow line, parking restrictions apply, [Continue Reading]
A lot of people will have seen the “electric fencing” around the horse paddock at Manor Farm next to the Barn Owl. Part of the wooden fence seems to be broken and the “electric” ribbon is only loosely attached in places. It may be that the eventual aim is to [Continue Reading]
Last night (Monday 6th Feb) at 9.45pm, as I was walking down Valley Gardens, I passed a middle-aged, fair haired woman, accompanied by what I took to be her 2 daughters, pushing two Tesco’s trolleys up the road. The trolleys were filled with Tesco bags, so I assume she’d just [Continue Reading]
Friday, another refuse collection day. Green bin and recycling bin duly left out on the pavement for The Council to collect.

There have been recent postings about the bus bollard and the imminent changes, (ie: the installation of a traffic camera). This morning when I went out for a walk, I saw a car turn down the road towards the underpass. Finding the bus bollard in place, the driver stopped at [Continue Reading]
Last week some irresponsible, anti-social persons dumped 2 bags of rubbish in my front garden! It wasn’t kids dumping rubbish, this was a deliberate act of fly-tipping of a couple of bags of rubbish in a couple of Tesco carrier bags – presumably their own dustbins were full, so they [Continue Reading]
This week has seen at least 3 shopping trolleys abandoned in the road in Valley Gardens – either by kids or socially irresponsible adults (does nobody care enough these days to challenge people taking trolleys away from stores)? I’ve seen 2 from Matalan and one from Tesco. Why Tesco and [Continue Reading]
