Ward Cllr Eric Shaw has updated us with regards to the fly tipped rubbish that remains on Ladysmith Road – “Unfortunately the due date is by the 19/01/2017, I can only ask if it can be done earlier given its location” We will update you if we hear any more from SBC on this.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at Chiseldon Parish Council (This image is the A346 at Chiseldon in 1952!)
If there are any elderly residents who may feel lonely this Christmas period, you can call “Silverline”, a free service on 0800 470 8090. Please check in on any elderly neighbors who are on their own and might need a hand or some company.
