By Adam Flinn and football pitch, we will also be repairing the tennis courts and the boundary wall and footpaths.

“We are extremely proud of Victoria Park and with the new summer flowerbeds, wheelchair swing, splash park and new benches, it is looking fantastic.

“We are very much looking forward to continuing improvements in the coming months.”

Work on the bowling green will start on August 17 with the removal of the Leylandii trees as these are causing further damage, and is expected to take around nine days.

Extensive repairs to the green will follow, which will see it completely resurfaced ahead of the start of the season next April.

Fences to allow visitors to see into the bowling greens will also be installed.

Spoil from the greens will then be used to fi ll other areas of subsidence around the park, including the football pitch.

REPAIRS to Newbury’s Victoria Park are set to get underway next week, six years after evidence of damage caused by subsidence was first spotted.

Cracks started to appear in the park in 2010, which was subsequently blamed on construction work taking place at the nearby Parkway shopping centre when it was being built.

The bowls club, football pitch and tennis courts were particularly affected, and this led to a lengthy battle for Newbury Town Council to get compensation from Parkway developer Costain.

A £600,000 settlement was agreed last November, with the money from that set to be used for the repairs.

Town council leader Dave Goff said: “This is a very exciting time for the council.

“At last we can carry out the repairs needed in the park and all of these works should be completed by next summer.

“The works will be funded entirely from the legal settlement we secured last year and as well as the bowling green

Waste permits set to be introduced next month WEST Berkshire residents will require a permit to use the recycling centres at Newtown Road in Newbury and in Padworth from September 26, the district council has announced.

Households in West Berkshire will receive one permit by post in the coming weeks, which must be displayed in domestic vehicles in order to use the sites.

The move is designed to prevent residents from other areas using the centres, after Hampshire County Council halted its ÂŁ200,000 annual contribution to West Berkshire for the privilege.

At present around 40 per cent of all waste taken to Padworth comes from Hampshire residents, and about 20 per cent at Newbury.

Marcus Franks, West Berkshire’s executive member for communities and public protection, said: “This permit scheme will help us to ensure West Berkshire residents do not have to pay for the disposal of waste from other districts. “At a time when our resources are tighter than ever it is important that we are using them wisely to protect our services as best as we can.�

Residents who own a commercial vehicle will have to apply for permits online.

Commercial waste is already prohibited from the centres, so

By Adam Flinn

• How the permit will look

businesses will not be issued with permits.

News of the permits’ introduction comes after West Berkshire ended its own £460,000 contribution to the RE3 Partnership for residents to use the Smallmead recycling centre in Reading as part of its £17.5million cost-cutting measures earlier this year.

The council is looking to expand the Padworth site to accept all household waste, with Cllr Franks saying a planning application is expected to be submitted “in the next few weeks�.

He added: “To help residents in the east, we would like Padworth to become a full waste site. “That will need planning permission to come forward and once that’s submitted, subject to it being approved it will be around six months to its completion.�

COUNCILS charging residents from other authorities to dispose of waste is a “ridiculous� situation, West Berkshire’s executive member for communities and public protection Marcus Franks has said.

West Berkshire then cut its contribution to the RE3 Partnership, meaning its residents were stopped from using the Smallmead centre in Reading.

And Cllr Franks has written to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Andrea Leadsom, asking for the Government to intervene.

In his letter, Cllr Franks wrote:

“Unfortunately RE3 brought in a resident permit scheme effectively banning West Berkshire residents access to their sites. “This in turn has forced me to begin implementing a permit scheme that will mean the exclusion of Hampshire residents from West Berkshire waste and recycling sites. “If I do not bring this in I will

not be able to control the waste budget. “The reason I am bringing this to your attention is fi rstly I still believe it is a ridiculous situation and secondly this will be happening all over England and Wales. “As a result of this, it will only be solved if Government acts, which is what I am asking you to do.�

WEST BERKS: Newbury MP Richard Benyon has defended former Prime Minister David Cameron’s controversial list of honours for his former staff.

In a piece written for the Daily Telegraph, Mr Benyon said that the honours for staff were acceptable for the work they did.

He wrote: “It is reasonable that one thing our system can offer an outgoing prime minister is the ability to reward those who have also made sacriďŹ ces to make a success of his or her premiership.â€?

Steve Hilton, Mr Cameron’s former director of strategy, has criticised the honours list, saying it was an example of a “corrupt system�.

Fire crew’s walk gives Oliver a helping hand A TEAM of Tadley firefighters walked for 18 hours straight to help improve the life of a little boy from the town with a rare brain condition over the weekend.

Six-year-old Oliver Witcomb suffers from Lissencephaly, or

By Christian Wilson smooth brain, which has led to him having the developmental age of a three- to six-month-old baby.

His condition also prevents him from being able to sit or

stand without help; meaning his parents have to carry him around a lot of the time – something that has led to mum Louise developing a bad back.

But a team led by Tadley Fire Station watch manager Sally Gould did their best to take some

Most children diagnosed with the degenerative condition sadly don’t make it past the age of 10, although all the money raised from the walk will go towards altering the Witcomb family home to Oliver’s needs for years to come.

Louise said: “He is gorgeous and courageous in everything he goes through and he has a beautiful character.

“So far any fundraising has been done by family members or close friends of the family.

“Sally and the Tadley crew are the fi rst people who have no connection to us directly who offered to help.

“It shows how amazing our local fi re service is, saving and helping lives in any way they can.

The youngster currently shares a bedroom with brother Charlie, although his mum and dad are hoping to raise enough money to pay for Oliver to have his own room downstairs, fitted

THEALE: A biker was seriously injured after a crash on the M4 near Theale on Monday.

At around 2.20pm, a black Yamaha motorbike and a white Kia Carens car collided on the westbound carriageway close to the junction 12 slip road.

The biker, a 53-year-old man, suffered serious head injuries and was airlifted to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he is being treated.

The two people in the car, a 30-year-old man and 29-yearold woman, sustained minor injuries and were treated by paramedics at the scene.

Following the collision the road was closed for around three hours, reopening at 5.30pm.

Police are asking witnesses with information about what happened to contact them on 101.

“If the money can be raised to get this work done it would be so much help to Oliver and the family in general.

“It would massively improve their quality of life.”

News Bites Armed officers WEST BERKS: Thames Valley Police (TVP) has said it will be training more firearms officers in the coming years.

It comes after Metropolitan Police revealed last week that it will deploy an extra 600 firearms officers to help keep the public safe from a terrorist attack.

Scott Chilton, TVP’s head of the Joint Operations Unit, said: “Last year, the Prime Minister announced that the UK’s national arms capability would rise.

“Along with other forces around the country, TVP will be actively recruiting and training additional firearms officers over the next two years to further enhance our ability to keep our communities safe from harm.”

Historical plaques to be set up in Thatcham BLUE plaques could soon be coming to Thatcham to mark historical sites and links to key people around the town.

Thatcham Town Council discussed the plans at its meeting on Monday night as a way of recording information about the town’s varied history.

Thatcham is widely believed to be one of the oldest towns in the country, with key figures associated with it including four-time president of the Royal Astronomical Society, Francis Baily.

And after seeing the plaques rolled out in Newbury, town councillor Sheila Ellison was keen to see the scheme brought to Thatcham.

She said: “I think it’s good for the town, there are people who come and look at the nice buildings and things and it would make the town more interesting.

“Newbury started it and I think it’s a very good thing to do.

“Some like Francis Baily did a huge amount but other people will be less nationally significant but locally significant.”

A group independent of the town council will be set up in the coming weeks to bring the scheme forward and discuss

By Adam Flinn

which sites should be commemorated.

Residents will have the chance to get involved by suggesting their own ideas for plaque sites, with hopes that the fi rst ones will be installed sometime next year.

Funding could come from grants or sponsorship from local businesses, although this has yet to be fi nalised.

Nick Young, of the Thatcham Historical Society, said: “I think it’s a brilliant idea.

“Obviously one of the fi rst things when the groups set up is we’ve got to discuss what the criteria is going to be for who or where gets a plaque.

“There’s Thatcham House, the Bluecoat School, plenty of places and buildings that could have them, but also plenty of individuals such as Francis Baily or the Barfield family.”

He added: “One of the ideas was, not just putting the plaques up, but also to do something like a trail or walk around to learn the history of it all, and there would be an app or a booklet to learn more.”

Approval is expected for Mill Lane flats PLANS to build 21 flats and a townhouse on the former Travis Perkins site in Mill Lane, Newbury, were set to be discussed last night as the Observer went to press.

West Berkshire Council’s western area planning committee was expected to recommend the proposals for approval at last night’s meeting.

Developer David Wilson Homes wants to build 21 two-bedroom flats and one two-bedroom townhouse up to three storeys high on the brownfield site, with half of the homes set to be affordable.

The planning committee couldn’t make a fi nal decision last night because building homes on employment land goes against council policy.

However the site hasn’t attracted interest for commercial use.

The western area planning committee will therefore make its recommendation to the council’s district planning committee, which will have the fi nal say on the plans at a future meeting.

In the pre-meeting report, planning officer Michael Butler wrote: “The planning issues are fi nely balanced, given the fact the district needs to retain its employment land supply.

“In this case a favourable recommendation is justified.”

Northbrook Street in the running for top honours NEWBURY’S Northbrook Street is in contention to be named Great Britain’s 2016 High Street of the Year.

It has been entered into the ‘best town centre high street’ category, and will hope its mix of shops, events and entertainment earn it national recognition.

Last year’s competition was won by Bishy Road in York after it was praised for its “innovative app” and “legendary parties”.

More than 200,000 votes were cast in the 2015 competition, with managing director of Newbury BID Russell Downing hoping Northbrook Street will prove popular this year with voters.

He said: “As with many towns in the UK, Newbury town centre faces many challenges ahead.

“However, local businesses can work together to support one another and follow Newbury’s vision and the town’s aspirations.

“The Great British High Street Competition is a fantastic opportunity to showcase what can be done and Newbury’s achievements.”

As part of the competition, Newbury BID is also asking peo-

By Adam Flinn ple to post their favourite images of the town on Visit Newbury’s Facebook and Twitter pages using the hashtag #GBHighSt. High Streets minister Marcus Jones said: “With a record number of entries and 200,000 public votes cast, last year’s competition was a massive success.

“This year’s Great British High

Street Competition is going to be even bigger and better, with new categories and a simplified entry form.

“I’d urge everyone to get involved to showcase the hard work of your community in keeping high streets the life and soul of our towns, villages and cities.”

Once all the applications have been made, judges will whittle the entries down to three fi nal-

ists for each award category by mid-October.

Public voting then begins, at which point an expert judge will visit all of the fi nalists.

The judge’s mark will make up 50 per cent of the fi nal result, with the other half coming from public votes.

An awards ceremony revealing the winners is scheduled to be held in early December.

News Bites Licence check WEST BERKS: Residents in Newbury and Thatcham have been urged to make sure their TV licence is up to date while the Olympics are going on this month.

More than 3,000 hours of coverage from Rio is set to be broadcast until August 21, so individuals and community groups are being encouraged to ensure their licence is in place.

Ben Craig, spokesperson for TV Licensing in the south east, said: “We would always rather people pay for their licence rather than risk an embarrassing prosecution and fine of up to £1,000.”

NEWBURY: ‘Music in the Market Place’ is returning to Newbury this Sunday.

A host of musical talent from local acts will be performing on a stage on the Market Place between midday and 5pm.

It is a free event, with donations being collected for The Brain Tumour Charity during the afternoon.

Event organiser Arthur Johnson said: “We have been organising ‘Music in the Market Place’ since 2012 and it has proved to be a very popular event for the summer.

“It’s a great place for local musicians and singers to showcase their talent.”

But last week the council confirmed that the application had since been withdrawn.

Newbury Town Council had objected to the plans, opposing the change from the residential character of the area and an increase in traffic.

Trust teamwork WEST BERKS: South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) and neighbouring South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) are set to work together in a number of areas.

The two NHS trusts have agreed to a collaborative working partnership, which will see some services and expertise shared and costs reduced.

SECAmb, which covers East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey and Kent, has insisted the move is not a merger with SCAS, which covers Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.

Geraint Davies, acting chief executive of SECAmb, said: “I’m keen to see where we can share some of our excellent work.”

A ROGUE trader who scammed people in Newbury and Hungerford, among other areas, has been jailed for three and a half years.

Daniel Collins, 31, currently of HM Prison Parc in Wales, was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on July 27 after pleading guilty to six counts of fraud by false representation and three counts of aggressive trading.

It comes after an investigation into work on six properties in Newbury, Hungerford, Swindon, Devizes and Woodley relating to significant overcharging, aggressive selling tactics and sub-standard work.

In one instance, a victim was charged £29,000 to have his driveway and path renewed over a weekend.

An estimate for how much this should have cost if carried out to a professional standard came to just £5,219.

At the time Collins was committing these offences, he was out on license from prison having previously been jailed for other fraud-related matters.

In passing sentence, judge Ian

Grainger described the offences as “wicked frauds on defenceless, trusting members of the public”.

Marcus Franks, West Berkshire Council’s executive member for public protection, said: “This sentence reflects that these were significant frauds carried out by a serial offender.

“It follows a substantial investigation led by the Trading Standards service working with colleagues from neighbouring authorities and Thames Valley Police.

“Tackling fraudulent trading of this nature remains a high priority and allegations will be investigated and where appropriate lead to prosecution.”

Anyone wishing to report Trading Standards matters should contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 040506, or 999 if a crime is in progress.

Club marks anniversary with bench A NEWBURY-BASED club have celebrated their 60th anniversary by sponsoring a bench in Victoria Park.

The Newbury branch of Soroptimist International began in 1956 as an organisation for women in the area who work to hold fundraising events.

They meet regularly at St George’s Church, with money

raised from their events going to the president of the year’s chosen charities.

This is the third bench that has been sponsored in the park through Newbury Town Council.

Dave Goff, leader of the council, said: “Newbury Town Council thanks the Soroptimists for their sponsorship.

“This is the third bench to be sponsored this year and all are welcome to sponsor the new style benches, some of which have already been installed as part of the forthcoming refurbishment scheme.”

Anyone interested in sponsoring a bench can contact the council on 01635 35486 or towncouncil@newbury.gov.uk.

Shootout at school – but just for training POLICE officers are carrying out a series of training exercises with firearms in Newbury this month.

Four training days have been scheduled for this month at Falkland School in Andover Road, the fi rst having taken place last Thursday.

Further sessions are being held today, August 18 and August 25. Only blank rounds are being shot.

Ch Supt Scott Chilton said: “Across the Thames Valley we have highly trained and experienced fi rearms officers who undertake regular training to ensure that we have the specialist resources to keep our communities safe from harm. “We want to make local residents aware that we will be carrying out fi rearms training at Falkland School throughout August. “People might hear some loud noises while this training is taking place, but we want to reassure them that this will be because of blank rounds being fi red. “The location has been chosen specifically to minimise disruption. “Falkland School and West Berkshire Council have given us permission to us to use the school and its grounds.�

Paramedic meets F1 ace for high-speed job swap A NEWBURY-BASED paramedic has been handing out driving tips to four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel.

Alex Knapton, who has carried out more than 1,350 emergency calls for South Central Ambulance Service and currently works in Newbury, undertook a job swap with the racing ace after last month’s British Grand Prix.

By Adam Flinn Sebastian swapped his 200mph Ferrari F1 car with the unfamiliar wheel of a three-tonne ambulance to get a taste of working as a paramedic.

He then went head to head in a time trial with Alex, who got to sample a 3.9-litre Ferrari 488 GTB around a track set up at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire.

Vicious pub attack leads to jail A NEWBURY man has been jailed for 12 and a half years for a horrific attack which saw him bite a man on the face in a town centre pub.

Dean Long, 36, of Bartholomew Street, was sentenced

by Reading Crown Court on July 25 following the attack on a man in his 50s last summer.

It happened at the Nags Head pub, in Bartholomew Street, at around 1.06am on June 14 last year.

The victim was enjoying a night out at the pub when Long suddenly attacked him, seemingly without reason, and biting him on the face and abdomen.

Long was arrested the same day, and charged on September 4 last year before pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm on the fi rst day of the trial on July 23.

The victim is still recovering from his injuries.

Sgt James Chapman said: “Long viciously assaulted his victim in an unprovoked attack. “The victim is still recovering and requires ongoing treat-

• Dean Long ment. I hope that he will soon recover and is able to move on from this ordeal. “The significant sentence handed out by the judge is a stark warning that violence will not be tolerated and intoxication provides no excuse. “The work of the investigation team in this case has been very thorough and their dedication to get justice for the victim has been exemplary.â€?

Unfortunately for Alex though, even with the faster machinery his time of 2:17.00 in the Ferrari wasn’t quite enough to beat Sebastian’s 2:10.48 in the ambulance.

But it didn’t dampen his spirits, and Alex said: “Getting the opportunity to swap the ambulance for the Ferrari 488 GTB was a dream come true. “It was an unbelievable experience to get that close to one of the stars of Formula One. “Sebastian was on great form coaching on high performance driving tips and joking about the lack of a stereo system in the ambulance.�

Both Alex and Sebastian shared their respective knowledge, with tips on emergency driving and high-powered racing being offered.

Sebastian said: “Paramedics play an essential role in motorsport around the world and not just in Formula One. “They need to perform such high standards every day because people’s lives depend on them.�

News Bites Bells ring again MORTIMER: Work to renovate the 120-year-old bells at St John’s Church in Mortimer has been completed.

Apprentices at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) have been helping restore the bells for the past three months, and they were finally ringing again on July 31.

Church steeple keeper Andrew Slater said: “We’d like to thank AWE for donating the time of apprentices Tom and Kieran.”

Activities and events will be taking place across the region to raise awareness of preventing rural crime.

Local Policing Inspector Andy Thompson said: “The purpose of our month of action is to recognise the differences between our communities and to avoid a one-size-fitsall approach to rural policing.”

Full council to decide future of the libraries THE final decision on the future of West Berkshire’s libraries will be made by the full council, it has been confirmed.

There had been fears raised that just a handful of councillors on the authority’s executive board would determine what libraries would close as part of cost-cutting measures.

It comes as West Berkshire Council awaits the results of an independent needs assessment into the usage of the district’s libraries, expected by the end of this month.

A petition had been set up on the council’s website calling for the full assessment to be published and for it to be debated afterwards by full council.

And speaking at the recent executive meeting, portfolio holder for culture Hilary Cole confi rmed that there would be a six-week consultation after the executive publishes its proposals for the libraries, with full council making a fi nal decision following that.

She said: “A report will be written, and that report will also contain recommendations which will go forward to the executive.

By Adam Flinn

“The request to executive will be that the recommendations in the report go out for a further six week consultation period.

“We will look at the outcome of that and the report will then go forward to council.”

The news was welcomed by the leader of the council’s Liberal Democrat group, Alan Macro.

He said: “It is important that a decision on the future of such a valued service should be made in the most democratic way after consultation with the public.

“It’s a shame that it has taken pressure from me and from a petition being raised by Friends of Lambourn Library to cause this change of heart.”

The council originally proposed to shut eight of the district’s nine libraries back in February as it sought to make £17.5million of cutbacks, as well as the mobile libraries.

Only Newbury library would have remained, but after the council received transitional funding from Government the proposal was reduced to closing just Theale and Wash Common libraries.

A BLUE plaque marking the site of the first mobile phone call ever made in the UK has been installed in Newbury town centre.

Newbury’s mayor Julian Swift-Hook and former CEO of Vodafone Sir Christopher Gent unveiled the plaque in The Broadway last Thursday, on the building of what was the mobile phone giant’s offices at the time.

The call was made on January 1, 1985.

It was the fourth plaque to be put up in the town as part of a Newbury Town Council scheme, with previous ones being put up to commemorate Jack of Newbury’s house, the birthplace of Francis Baily, and the home of Walter Money.

Showcasing the Best of Bublé ‘BEAUTIFUL Day’, ‘Haven’t Met You Yet’ and ‘Everything’ will be among the iconic Bublé tunes performed at The Old Chequers in Thatcham on Friday, August 26.

‘Best of Bublé’ stars Michael Bublé tribute act Tom Cary, who travels up and down the country to perform not just tunes sung by the famous Canadian, but also to showcase some of swing’s most iconic and popular tracks.

And Beaconsfield-born Tom revealed that he might have a surprise or two in store when he plays his gig in Thatcham.

“I always try and incorporate new songs into my sets each time I perform,” he told the Observer.

“And with a venue such as The Old Chequers where I perform month to month on a regular basis, it is always good to keep it fresh and new.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a Michael Bublé swing night, but I sometimes throw in a curve ball song that no-one expects to keep the regulars on their toes.”

Tom has only worked as a Michael Bublé tribute act for the past 12 months, undertaking a number of free and paid gigs across the UK. He is due to do 34 more gigs this year, but this number is due to rise

By James Richings due to the ever-growing popularity of his performance.

Tom revealed that he has yet to meet the popular musician, but did see him perform live at the O2 Arena back in 2014.

However, when his is not performing to an appreciative crowd, Tom is busking - something which he believes is the perfect practice for any musician.

“It makes my whole evening and what I do in general so much more exciting and rewarding when I perform to audiences that appreciate it,” Tom added.

“Sometimes you do get gigs where people are less receptive than others, but that only makes the good gigs better.

“I love what I do anyway and I’m privileged to do what I love as a job.”

“And I would have to say the best advice I have ever had, not always lived by since I’ve started my work but what my father always said: ‘the harder you work, the luckier you get’.

“This is so true and I always stand by it in everything I do.”

The free gig will start at 9pm. For more information, go to Tom’s website: bestofbuble.co.uk.

Documentarians Elyse Steinberg and Josh Kriegman were already filming the handsome, charismatic and otherwise savvy Weiner’s apparent political rebirth when this new hell broke loose, and carried on doing so – with jaw-dropping consequences Sun, Aug 14, 2.30pm Shaw House, Newbury

Fastfit Service Centre Ltd.

Unit One, Moniton Trading Estate, Westham Lane, Basingstoke RG22 5EE www.fastfitservicecentre.com matt@fastfitservicecentre.com

New player in the Mazda3 range THE very popular Mazda3 range has been recently boosted with the introduction of a new horse in Mazda’s stable – in the form of the Mazda3 Sport Black Special Edition.

The Sport Black has been given ‘The Full Monty’ by Mazda with the introduction of dynamic lines, 18-inch dark gunmetal alloy wheels, front splitter, side skirts and an in your face roof spoiler.

If that was not enough to get you reaching for your savings account then maybe what will is the fact that Mazda has also limited production to just 800 examples.

ON THE ROAD: Mazda have always got it just right when it comes to a cars ability on the road, and my recent test of the brilliant CX-3 proves that Mazda know how to make a car perform. Also, if you have ever driven an MX-5, then you will know what I mean. On the road, the Sport Black is controlled and precise. Add in the massive amount of feedback you also get from all four corners at any given moment, and you get the confidence of a sure footed ride.

By Anthony Yates Bentley. The controls are also easy to reach and Mazda’s attention to detail on the interior surfaces is second to none.

Then of course there’s the very generous standard equipment like; a Bose surround-sound system, reversing camera, smart keyless entry, cruise control and dual-zone climate control and Mazda’s MZD-Connect system, 7” colour touchscreen display and multimedia commander with integrated navigation all as standard.

SAFETY: Additions such as; smart city brake support, lane departure warning system, dual front, side and curtain airbags along with anti-lock braking and dynamic stability control which includes traction control.

TO SUM UP: The Mazda 3 Sport Black is a brilliant piece of work that will appeal to many INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY: Inside, the Sport Black is tailor-made with people who want a great looking car with exclusive black half leather/half suede that hot hatch feel, but without the high seats which are very good at supporting insurance premiums.

Price: (from) £20,995 OTR as tested – your back and posture. In fact, the last time I sat in a seat this good was in a not including fitted options.

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

POWER AND EFFICIENCY The Sport Black is powered by a 2.0 litre Petrol engine with 120hp and 210Nm of torque. The engine revs easily and is very lively and responsive. Okay, I would have liked a bit more power - but it’s still enough to help the Sport Black get a shift on ‘Hot Hatch Style’. Top speed also comes in at 121mph with a time of 8.9sec and a combined fuel economy of 55.4mpg.

Responsible drivers scrap their vehicles at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF).

ALSO BREAKING 500 CARS ALL PARTS AVAILABLE

Because only an ATF can legally scrap a vehicle.

That means any pollutants will be made safe before it’s recycled in an environmentally friendly way.

What’s more, for certain types of vehicle you’ll get a DVLA approved Certificate of Destruction (CoD). A CoD proves the ATF has told DVLA your vehicle has been scrapped and is no longer your responsibility. www.direct.gov.uk.motoring

THIS WEEK: WIN TICKETS TO SEE BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S

Dominant performance gives Falkland the win SARANGA Rajaguru, James Bird and Daminda Kolugala hoovered up the wickets as Falkland Cricket Club beat Marlow by 92 runs on Saturday.

The trio picked up nine wickets between them to bowl Marlow out for 155, with Falkland having already declared on 247-8.

It was a strong opening innings for Falkland with the bat, with openers Paul Jenkins (26) and Bird (39) getting some solid scores on the board early.

By the time Jim Ettridge (43) was dismissed, Falkland were

By Adam Flinn

cruising on 144-3, with Rajaguru adding 43 himself before being caught.

Mark Abrams went for just eight, before Will Langmead (33) and Kolugala (28) got Falkland over the 200-run mark.

Craig Williams went for five, with Jason Williams and Charlie Dale both not out on 18 and one respectively when Falkland declared after 52 overs.

It was an impressive innings for Falkland, although Marlow bowler Jeremy Batty also per-

formed well as he picked up six wickets.

Marlow then stepped up to bat and got off to a shaky start as the two openers of Imran Nawaz and Ben Peel fell for just 10 and nine respectively.

However Joe Brown (35) and Kevin Hudson (43) got a good haul of runs on the board as Marlow neared the century

mark for their innings.

But a damaging 10-ball run saw Gary Lines, Matt Redmond and Charlie Bull all dismissed in quick fashion, having contributed no runs.

And the remaining batsmen of Adam Howell (16), Paul Brzezicki (15), Mark Dozell (0) and Jeremy Batty (9, not out) weren’t able to hold on for the draw as

Marlow were all out for 155 with just two overs left to play.

The result moves Falkland up to fi fth in Division One of the Thames Valley Cricket League with 193 points, just one behind next-placed Cove.

Falkland are back in action this Saturday afternoon when they pay a visit to Berkshire rivals Windsor.

Elsewhere, Charlie Anstey and Martin Walker’s stunning batting displays saw Newbury cruise past Reading 2nds with a nine wicket win.

Reading were all out for 130, with Anstey picking up five wickets to limit all of their batters to less than 30 runs each.

The opener then scored 64 with the bat alongside Walker’s 58 as Newbury reached 134-1 in the 30th over, with Vivek Srivastava the only casualty as he went for a duck.

It keeps Newbury third in Division 3A, as they hunt down league leaders Aldershot and Sonning.

Thatcham are away to Chiswick & Whitton in their next match on Saturday, while Newbury pay a visit to Yateley 2nds.

GOLF: A two-under-par 71 helped Jane Brackenbury reduce her handicap to eight as she won the ladies’ medal at West Berks Golf Club.

She was well clear of second-placed Tina Mulford who shot 79, while Sandy Miller was third on countback.

In the Eastwood Cup, ladies’ vice-captain Shelagh Forder was the winner with 32 points, while Garry Dixon won the men’s midweek medal with a net 71.

Jan Williams and Steve Haylor won the Di Evans Millennium Shield with 45 points, while the men’s senior team lost 5-1 away to North Wilts.

Athletes in action OLYMPICS: West Berkshire’s Olympic athletes were due in action yesterday as the Observer went to print.

Brimpton’s Spencer Wilton was set to compete in the team and individual dressage events in Rio, while diving ace Chris Mears from Burghfield was competing in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard.

Joy for Thatcham and Newbury CCs THATCHAM Town Cricket Club moved back up to fifth in Division 2B of the Thames Valley Cricket League with a 123-run victory over High Wycombe 2nds on Saturday.

Half centuries from Peter Spriggs (62) and Duncan Johnson (50), along with 20-plus scores from Tom Mahoney, John Williams and Steven Bartholomew, helped Thatcham set a benchmark of 227-9.

And aside from Paul Sawyer’s 45, High Wycombe couldn’t offer much in response as they were all out for just 104, with Chris Bird collecting six wickets.

Thatcham leapfrogged High Wycombe in the standings as a result, and are now chasing down Slough 2nds in fourth.

LATE GOALS KNOCK TOWN OUT OF CUP

• Thatcham Town, pictured in action against Ardley last week, were knocked out of the FA Cup on Saturday (picture by Thatcham Photographic Club)

THATCHAM Town crashed out of the FA Cup after twice losing the lead in an entertaining game at home to Bracknell Town on Saturday.

They were beaten 3-2, despite having been 2-1 ahead with just 10 minutes left on the clock.

It means Thatcham exit the competition at the extra preliminary round.

Bracknell had the fi rst chance in Saturday’s match as Adam Cornell fi red the ball past Kingfishers’ goalkeeper Curtis Meare, but player/manager Gareth Thomas was on hand to clear it off the line.

Shane Cooper-Clark then got on the end of Josh Baines’ cross for the hosts, stopped only by an outstanding save from Bracknell keeper Chris Grace.

However on 29 minutes Thatcham opened their account as Jordan Seward knocked the ball in at the far post, after Bracknell’s defence had failed to clear it away.

Thatcham went into the break with a 1-0 lead, but on 56 minutes Bracknell had pulled

By Adam Flinn level as Khalid Senussi slotted home from 10 yards out.

Just nine minutes later Thatcham were back ahead after Callum Willmoth had been fouled in the box, with CooperClark smashing in the resulting penalty.

At this point Bracknell manager Mark Tallentire used his three substitutes to bolster his side’s attack - a move that paid dividends in the fi nal 10 minutes of the match.

Newly introduced Kennie Chamberlain pulled the score back to 2-2, beating three defenders before lifting the ball over Meare and into the far right corner.

And the winner came with four minutes remaining as Cornell this time managed to beat Thomas and his quick shot caught Meare out of position, with the ball trickling over the line to seal the victory.

Thatcham return to Hellenic Premier League action with a trip to Tuffley Rovers on Tuesday.
