Grazeley Green – pedestrian safety
I submitted a Members’ Bid for safe refuges along unlit, unpaved sections of the road. Although this was not funded, I’m pressing for the works to be delivered from the core highways budget.
Councillor Nick
Welcome
I represent Burghfield, Mortimer, Beech Hill & Wokefield (“Burghfield & Mortimer” ward) on West Berkshire Council. As a unitary authority, we deal with housing, waste and recycling, council tax, education, libraries, social services, transport, planning, consumer protection, licensing, cemeteries and crematoria.
Mortimer West End – 350 homes
Basingstoke & Deane is proposing around 350 homes at West End Farm, Mortimer West End. I’ve created a separate page with background, FAQs and how to respond to the Local Plan consultation.
