Pond plans

If anyone is interested, here is the link about the park and the proposals for the new developments. There are two parallel plans , one does not build on the pond , it is the Town Council plan, it is to rejuvenate the park but not build an art pavilion on the pond.

The other, is Town Centre partnership & West Berkshire Council plan and it builds over the parkland and over the pond, reducing the green space and turning the pond into pac man.

Apparently the plans could still go ahead by next year!

I have just had an amazing email from someone who visited Newbury aged 3 , 40 years ago and has a home movie of himself as a wee boy playing with boats on the pond. Soon to be released on you tube!
