West Berkshire Council’s contractor, Volker Highways Ltd., will be undertaking essential carriageway surfacing on Briarlea Road, Stratfield Mortimer. Work is programmed to go ahead between the hours of 7:00am and 7:00pm on 27 & 28 September 2022.
Kiln Lane - Mortimer is currently closed, the closure is from the junction of The Street along its length (actual point of closure is not know at this time). There is no alternative route, thus residential access will be maintained throughout.
The closure is expected to remain in place until 14th September 2022.
West Berkshire Council is offering funding to support low-income households in the most need, including pensioners who would otherwise struggle with the rising costs of living. You must be living in West Berkshire.
The Household Support Fund is also open to any resident aged 66 or over, and who is on a low income (i.e. receiving Guaranteed State Pension Credit) and may be struggling to make ends meet on their basic outgoings.
The Council expresses its deepest gratitude for the many years of truly outstanding and dedicated service by Her Majesty to our nation and the Commonwealth. She will be much missed.
The Council has opened an online condolence book to allow parishioners to share their memories and thoughts at this sad time.
In addition, St John's Church will be open daily for quiet contemplation, the laying of flowers and the lighting of candles. A condolence book is also available for signing.
