At the time of writing, a date has still not been finalised for
the closure of the bridge. There was a huge turnout for the meeting
in the Reading Room towards the end of February and I hope it
answered many of your concerns. Certainly, the closure will have a
big impact on most people in the village and surrounding areas.
The stepping stones by Pack Horse Green are unstable and County
Council have been informed and will carry out the necessary work.
Dog fouling continues to be a concern and the Parish Council have
asked that a dog warden monitor the problem. Most owners are
responsible, scooping up after their pets but unfortunately a few do
not bother even though it is an offence punishable by a “fixed
penalty” of £75.
The Next Parish Council meeting will be on 17th April
at 7.15pm in the Reading Room.
Margaret Davenport
Clerk to Ovingham Parish Council
