Facilities for Hire

Welcome to the
Winnersh Parish Website

Work to strengthen the embankments of the bridge over the A329(M) is being carried out during August and September. Starting on Monday 2nd August and lasting up to eight weeks (until 24th September), the work will entail road closures and one-way working.

The  B3030 (Robinhood Lane / Davis Street) running between the Winnersh Crossroads and Twyford will be closed to traffic from early on Monday 9th August until Friday 3rd September between its junctions with Bluebell Meadow and Davis Way. Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to cross the bridge during this period.

At other times during the bridge works traffic lights controlling one-way traffic will be in place.

The work is being carried out by Balfour Beatty, the Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) highways contractor. It is necessary because the embankments have a history of instability and have subsided by more than a foot since being built, this movement having accelerated over the past two years.

For further information and updates see here on the WBC website.

Robinhood Lane Closed for Four Weeks                July 2010

The third Winnersh Village Fete brought the Winnersh community together for a fun afternoon on 19th June. Local people turned out in large numbers to support the many voluntary groups running stalls, presenting displays and performing in the arena.

The Parish Council also provided plenty of other attractions to keep people amused and entertained. Arena events included a birds of prey demonstration, dog agility trials, disco and street dance and musical numbers.

Attractions included a free mega-slide, obstacle course and surfboard simulator, a brass band, hurdy-gurdy organ, dog fly-ball racing and the ever popular Circus Scene  providing more fun for children while they learnt circus skills. The displays in the main hall covered model railways, war games, local trees and environment and the history of Winnersh.

Successful third year for Winnersh Fete               June 2010

The birds of prey display was

a particular favourite

New innovations at the fete this year included children’s arts and crafts in the Hands-On Arts Pavilion and the Winnersh Team Challenge where teams were challenged to be the fastest to cross a ‘virtual river’ using only planks and beer crates.

Visitors were well catered for by the Scouts’ tea tent and BBQ, the newly-opened Pavilion Cafe in the Allnatt Pavilion and a licensed bar. An ice cream van, candy floss stall and strawberries and cream stall were also on hand.
