Well, by law, meetings of the full Council and Council committee meetings must be held in public and the change in the Covid-19 regulations, at the beginning of May, meant that online meetings no longer met that criteria.
Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council (SMPC) are aware of and share the concerns of residents regarding the brambles and other vegetation encroaching onto the pavement down The Street. This has been an ongoing problem for some years and both West Berkshire Council (WBC) and landowners have been approached in the past. As has been stated on Facebook, the cutting of hedges growing on private land is the responsibility of the landowners and the maintenance of the pavement is the responsibility of WBC.

The Multi Games Area (MUGA) on the Fairground is scheduled for a surface clean starting next week before the installation of new mini netball court lines and the repainting of the older court lines. This will mean that the MUGA will be closed for a few days from Monday, 14th June until around the 18th, dependent on how it dries. The MUGA will be fenced off for safety during this period.
