Allotments Available

The Parish Council rents out more than 75 allotments at its site off the Reading Road. Plots are now available for Winnersh residents who wish to become allotment holders.

Some of the allotments have been split into half-size plots which are more manageable for some established allotment holders and provide opportunities for newer ones to get started without taking on a whole plot (maintaining an allotment is hard though rewarding work!). The annual rent is only £35 for a full plot and £20 for a half plot.

For more information or to apply for a plot contact the Parish Finance & Administration Officer.

The Inner Wheel Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh invite you to a

Barn Dance on Friday 29th September 2017, 7.30 to 11.30pm, at Winnersh Community Centre RG41 5DU.

Councillor Vacancy

Winnersh Parish Council has a further vacancy for a councillor caused by the resignation of James Bray. We wish him well as he goes off to university. A bye-election to fill the vacancy will be held if, within 14 days from 18th September, ten electors for the North ward of the parish give notice in writing claiming such an election to the Returning Officer at Wokingham Borough Council. The formal Notice of Vacancy can be found here. If no such notice is given the Parish Council may fill the vacancy by co-option.

New Councillors Welcomed

Winnersh Parish Council welcomes four new Councillors to its ranks:

Cllrs Kiran Alluri, Vijay Bagha, Paul Fishwick and Ben Krauze.

Following resignations earlier in the year, parishioners were invited to express an interest in joining the council and subsequently to make a presentation to a council meeting. The council voted to coopt four of them at the September Council meeting.

The resigning councillors were Jeremy Curtis, David Green, Nick Kilby and Phil Ray . They resigned due to moving away from the area or gaining additional work commitments and we thank them for their considerable contributions to the work of the council over the past few years and wish them well for the future.

The picture shows (L to R) Cllr John Southgate, Chairman of the Winnersh Fete Working Group, who presented the cheques to Sam Milligan from JAC and to Candy Kirkland and Susan Jackson from WIN.

Donations from 2017 Fete

The Council was pleased to welcome representatives from two local charities to receive donations from monies raised by the 2017 Winnersh Fete. Just Around the Corner (JAC) and Wokingham in Need (WIN) both received a cheque for £500 towards their valuable work in the local community.
