🔥 Please remember: no BBQs or fires in our parks and open spaces The current hot and dry weather means our grass and vegetation are very dry and can catch fire quickly. Please do not light fires or use disposable barbecues as even a small spark could put wildlife, nearby homes and people at serious risk. This morning we were made aware of the smouldering remains of a disposable barbecue in the wooded area near the corner of Park Lane and Righton Close. A local walker spotted it and Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service attended to make it safe. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is reminding everyone to take extra care: 🚫 Avoid using disposable barbecues in open spaces 🔥 Do not throw cigarettes onto the ground 🚫 Avoid lighting bonfires during dry weather 🔥 Take care with anything that could create sparks 🔥 Report any signs of fire immediately by calling 999 Thank you for helping to keep our parks, wildlife and local community safe.

🚗 We need more volunteers to join our Speedwatch team and help make our local roads safer. Run in partnership with Thames Valley Police and Community Speedwatch, volunteers help monitor speeds and encourage safer driving. Our Charvil team has already made a positive impact on Old Bath Road, recording 102 vehicles travelling above the speed limit in just four sessions. Many drivers also slow down when they see the team out by the road. We now need more volunteers to continue this work. Here’s what’s involved: ✅ Registration – 10 minutes ✅ Training – 40 minutes ✅ Working in a team of three, using the speed gun and recording vehicle details (speed, registration, make and colour). ✅ Sessions – around 2 hours every two weeks (or less if we have more volunteers!) If you would like to volunteer or find out more, please contact: clerk@charvilparishcouncil.gov.uk
