More than 90 people from Long Wittenham attended an exhibition to examine and comment on plans for the village’s proposed community hub. The project includes a new school, pre-school, village hall, play and sports area, market and affordable homes and parking. The whole project will be self-funding with profits from the market housing going back into funding all the community facilities. Following a series of public meetings during the last 18 months the parish council’s chosen developer Thomas Homes has been working on plans and the proposals were unveiled at a drop-in evening at The Plough pub on Thursday evening 11th May.

Last week, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Thames Valley Anthony Stansfeld launched a new website to support victims of crime. Victims First is a new online resource for victims of crime which has advice on what to do and how to get help. It includes information and advice for victims including signposting them to services to help them cope and recover from the impact of the crime. It also includes a section on the Victims Code explaining clearly what help victims can expect from the police and other criminal justice agencies if they report the crime.
Residents will be aware of the Village Map, a copy of which is on the noticeboard outside the village hall. The map was originally produced in 2012. There have been some changes in the intervening five years, and as this is such a valuable resource, the parish council intends to get the map updated. A number of amendments have already been identified, but if you know of changes in the village which should be reflected on the map please contact
