Change is coming to the way councils work across the country, and we are taking the opportunity to make sure it’s done in a way that truly benefits our communities. Our proposal is to solve the government’s request by creating two brand new unitary councils that cover Oxfordshire and West Berkshire: ▪️ Ridgeway Council – covering South Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse, and West Berkshire ▪️ Oxford and Shires Council – covering Cherwell, Oxford City, and West Oxfordshire We want to hear what you think so that residents and businesses stay at the heart of these new councils. This is your chance to influence how future services are shaped and delivered in our area. Have your say here: https://twocouncils.org/get-involved

If you live or work in Aldermaston or Burghfield, you probably know that there are Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) sites in your locality. Should there be an emergency at either of the sites, it’s important people in the local area can be easily contacted. The quickest and most effective way to do this is through AWE’s new emergency text alert system. Find out more or sign up here: https://www.westberks.gov.uk/awe-text-alert

Throughout the year we're out and about improving our roads. From fixing potholes, resurfacing roads, and making sure our drains flow well, the work we do helps keep you on the move. Last month we fixed 367 potholes, resurfaced 1.545km of road and cleared 1,899 gullies, as well as undertaking other maintenance. We want to deliver services to be proud of - and you can help. If you spot a pothole, or see something else which needs fixing, you can tell us here: https://www.westberks.gov.uk/reportaproblem
