Children's Christmas 2017 Colouring Competition Winners

The children's Christmas colouring competition was won by Ava from Masefield Crescent who won the under 6’s category, and Ellie from Ladygrove won the 6 and over category - both girls won a book token.  Well done!!!  Thank you to all who took part - our independent judge said she found it very difficult to choose from all the wonderful pictures.

All the entry pictures are displayed in the Stonewater Common Room, Bridges Close.

Police Consultation - Council Tax

Anthony Stansfeld, the Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner, has launched a short consultation to ask people for their opinion on the possible increase in Council Tax of around £12 per year per household to support the Police.  He writes ‘…….. without the increase of £12 per year in council tax, as recommended by the Home Secretary, we would have to make further significant reductions in police officers and staff which will affect the level and quality of policing service we are able to offer you.

You can access the online survey https://www.thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk/get-involved/police-funding-survey-have-your-say/.  This link includes a further explanation and information from Mr Stansfeld.  He apologises that the survey has to end on 11th January but the setting of the 2018/19 budget has to be done later this month.
