🚗 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

You might have spotted our new benches around Charvil! 🏞️ 🌳 Two new benches have been added beside the sports pitches at East Park Farm, giving spectators a place to sit and enjoy watching the cricket and football. A new picnic bench has also been installed near the new play park, following feedback from parents and responses to our Pulse survey. We’ll also be adding another bench to the play park soon. Thank you to everyone who shared their suggestions with us through the Pulse survey or in person.
