The village community skip gets one last chance
The
Parish Council
finances the provision of a community skip on the first Wednesday of
every month, positioned in the
Village Halls
car park. Recently when the skip has been
full people have left their rubbish beside the skip which has not been collected when the
contractors remove the skip, necessitating a Parish Councillor, with huge community spirit,
to load the items into his car and take them to the Longshot Amenity tip. We make one
last plea “if the skip is full please take the rubbish to the Longshot Lane site”.
We would not like to see this service withdrawn but will be left with no alternative if the
Village Halls
do not allow us to use their car park, therefore no further rubbish left other
than in the skip please, and on that note...
Local Rubbish Tip
WDC
pays just under 45% of the running cost of Longshot Lane, Bracknell. It is open
from 8.00am - 6.00pm October to March and 8.00am - 8.00pm April to September;
Closed Christmas Day.
Litter in the School Road Recreation Ground
Staying on the subject of rubbish, School Road recreation ground has seen an unwelcome
increase in litter, so much so that the
Parish Council
has employed a local handy man to
spend one hour per week clearing the site. This has a cost implication so we would urge
everyone to put their litter in the bins provided, thus helping us to keep our costs to a
minimum which is in everyone’s interests.
Townsend Pond
The
Parish Council
has commissioned work for two wooden islands to be constructed and
floated on the pond. This will give the birds a safe place to roost and breed.
