COUNCIL WINS BATTLE OVER LONDON ROAD REGENERATION Developer’s legal challenge against industrial estate project is dismissed WEST Berkshire Council’s planned redevelopment of the London Road Industrial Estate (LRIE) will go ahead after a legal challenge against the project was thrown out.

Last Friday the High Court rejected Faraday Development Limited (FDL)’s appeal that the council’s agreement with rival developer St Modwen aimed at overhauling the industrial estate

By Adam Flinn was “unlawful”.

It comes after St Modwen was chosen over FDL for the regeneration project in 2014, even though FDL had been granted outline planning permission for its own ‘Faraday Plaza’ proposals back in 2009.

The St Modwen project will see the estate redeveloped to

LONDON ROAD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE

• The area of the estate due to be redeveloped

include housing alongside office and retail space.

James Fredrickson, the council’s executive member for corporate services, said: “We are delighted with this outcome.

“It is extremely disappointing that FDL chose to bring criticisms against the council that have been found to be ‘wholly untenable’ by the court, which has delayed the regeneration of London Road, to the detriment of West Berkshire as a whole.

“The court ruling now allows us to fully recover legal costs from FDL – we owe it to taxpayers to ensure that they do not foot the bill for such a speculative legal challenge.

“We will continue to press ahead with our plans to deliver this exciting multi-million pound development for the town.”

The court ruled that the council’s decision to award the contract to St Modwen was “rational”, VË Í ÖjÄË Ë¬?~jËÏË

Calls for action to stop cyclists riding on paths WORRIED Newbury residents are angry that police are letting cyclists break the law by riding on the town’s pavements and footpaths.

Concerns have been raised that a serious accident is about to happen, and that the police are doing nothing to prevent it.

Thames Valley Police has indicated that it has no plan to enforce the law on guilty cyclists, preferring to leave the problem to its local neighbourhood team.

One resident, a retired accountant, said: “I’m absolutely staggered that nothing is being done to stop these irresponsible cyclists, who have no respect or regard for public safety.

“I even saw one dart through a red light that could have caused a major pile-up with lots of injuries.”

Another Newbury resident, a pensioner, said: “Newbury is being overrun by cyclists speeding on pavements, footpaths, and in dark underpasses, putting pedestrians at high risk,

By Brian Radford especially the elderly.”

Adrian Edwards, a county champion cyclist, Newbury pedestrian and West Berkshire councillor, is perfectly placed to see all sides of the problem.

He is aware of accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians in Newbury, and was almost knocked over himself by a speeding biker.

He said: “These cyclists are an absolute menace on the towpath.

They sweep past people, many with a dog on a lead, and never sound a bell to let them know they’re there.

“I was nearly knocked off my feet by a cyclist who came up behind me, and almost took me with him.”

Cllr Edwards, who manages the West Berkshire Cycle Forum, added: “Our group promotes safe cycling, and fi nding new cycle routes.

“Cycling on pavements is against the Road Traffic Act,

but it’s very difficult to police.

“It seems the only solution is to encourage all cyclists to be courteous and respectful when they cycle in town.”

Dedicated biker Stan Green has been looking into some of the problems that cyclists face in Newbury.

He said: “West Berkshire Council has paid lip service to the problem with its cycling forums, which never succeeded in producing joined-up shared cycling lanes in the town.

“Some parts of Berkshire provide lanes exclusively for cyclists, but Newbury needs more.”

Mr Green admitted that he had ridden on pavements and footpaths, but “always cycled slowly, and always looked out for pedestrians emerging from side entrances”.

A statement from Thames Valley Police said: “If any member of the public observes cyclists riding in a dangerous manner, they are encouraged to report

this to their local neighbourhood team.”

West Berkshire Council spokeswoman Peta StoddartCrompton added: “Road safety is a priority for the council, and we support safe cycling.

“We provide cycle lanes wherever possible across the district, and we urge cyclists to use them.

“We continue to expand our cycle-way network. For example, we are currently working on providing extra cycle lanes on the A4.

“However, cycling on the pavements is a ‘moving traffic’ offence, which can only be enforced by the police.”

Cyclists prosecuted for riding on public pavements and footpaths are generally fi ned between £30 and £40, though one offender in the north east was hit for £750 after he struck a five-year-old girl on a pavement, and scarred her for life.

Councillors chosen GREENHAM: The four vacancies on Greenham Parish Council have been filled after they were elected unopposed.

Jon Gage, Paul Inman, Meg Thomas and Balu Sudra – all of whom are Liberal Democrats – were the only nominations when the deadline closed last Thursday.

Sue Farrant, chairman of the Newbury and West Berkshire Liberal Democrats, said: “I was astonished that no other political party nor any independent candidate wanted to seize this opportunity to serve the people of Greenham.

“But I know these four new councillors will bring a range of essential skills to the important work of the council.”

New website WEST BERKS: A group set up to campaign for safety changes to the A34 in the wake of last month’s horrific eight-vehicle crash that saw four people killed has launched its website.

The A34 Action Group will be updating a34actiongroup. weebly.com as well as its Facebook page.

Diver Chris back home after winning Rio gold WEST Berkshire’s Olympic gold medallist Chris Mears paid a visit to his home village of Burghfield last Thursday.

The diving ace posed for pictures with residents outside the Nisa Local shop, where postmaster Raj Odedra had installed a cardboard golden postbox in honour of Chris’s performance in Rio. Chris was also presented with a giant medal which villagers had been writing on their messages of congratulations following his gold medal win.

He said: “I’m really overcome by how much support there is for me locally.

“Now I’m going on a really long holiday!”

Chris took gold in the men’s 3m synchronised diving with partner Jack Laugher, for what was Team GB’s fi rst ever Olympic diving title.

His visit came about after his mum Katy contacted the Burghfield Community Facebook page, saying Chris wanted to see his postbox.

One of the editors of the Facebook page, who didn’t want to give their name, said: “Chris’s mum Katy contacted us and said

By Adam Flinn he would love a quiet visit to the gold postbox.

“Chris was so kind and supportive with the young people, and he is going to be a fabulous ambassador.

“He loved the posters and homemade medals and postbox, and Raj handed over the huge medal signed by hundreds of villagers.

“Chris is a thoughtful and decent young man, such a credit to the village.”

News Bites Longer deadlines THATCHAM: Two developments in the works in Thatcham have been granted timeline extensions by West Berkshire Council’s eastern area planning committee.

These are the redevelopment of the Pound Lane Depot into 47 new homes, and for 33 homes on the corner of Bath Road and Henwick Lane.

Both had already been given planning permission at earlier meetings.

But they came up again at last Wednesday’s committee meeting as the developers sought longer deadlines to complete Section 106 agreements.

Committee chairman Graham Pask said: “There are little issues to resolve, nothing major, and it’s just a case of extending the deadline.”

High Court throws out challenge to London Road revamp VË Á ËwÁ Íˬ?~j and that it acted lawfully in “structuring the procurement process in the way that it did”.

The council’s project has not been without controversy, with Newbury FC being told it will have to leave its Faraday Road ground within the estate as part of the regeneration.

FDL’s original planning permission for the redevelopment expired in 2012, and was subsequently refused when the developer applied for an extension.

But following Friday’s ruling FDL has said it remains committed to the development of Faraday Plaza, and criticised the council for its handling of the project.

A statement from FDL said: “As the owner of several long leaseholds, FDL has tried in vain to work with the council, including a viable and attractive option to relocate Bayer to the Faraday Plaza site.

“Having for several years engaged positively, in 2014 the council changed its mind and has since steadfastly refused to cooperate.

NEWBURY: Residents gave their bikes a tune-up at a ‘Dr Bike’ session held in Newbury town centre on Saturday.

West Berkshire Spokes, on the request of Greening WestFields, staged the session in the Market Place, where mechanics spent the morning checking bikes, correcting brakes and advising owners of the importance of regular checks to try and get people using their bikes more.

“But for the negative actions of the council, Faraday Plaza would have been completed several years ago, in which case the new link road with the A339 would have been funded privately instead of consuming a six-figure sum of council funds.

“FDL respectfully but fi rmly disagrees with the judgement and intends to apply for leave to appeal.”

A further statement from the council said it would “now seek to move forward with its plans quickly to make up for the delay caused by the legal challenge”.

THAMES Valley Police (TVP) joined in with a European-wide campaign to crack down on speeding drivers last week.

Between Monday and Sunday officers were out in the region conducting random checks at all times of day.

Those who were caught were issued with penalties from a fi xed penalty notice, rising to a summons to attend court.

It came as all forces across Europe took part in the campaign run by the European Traffic Police Network.

Sgt Chris Appleby, from TVP’s Joint Roads Policing Unit, said: “Across Europe, it is estimated that speeding contributes to as many as one third of all crashes resulting in death, and is the most important contributory factor to road deaths and serious injuries.

“The risk of death is approximately four times higher when a pedestrian is hit at 40mph compared to at 30mph.

“Every day on our roads an average of five people will die and 65 will be seriously injured in collisions where speed may be a factor.

“Excessive or inappropriate speed has a devastating impact on the safety of road users, increasing both the risk of a crash and the severity of the consequences.”

Man jailed for trying to rob town pub with ‘gun’ A MAN who threatened a Newbury pub worker with what appeared to be a gun in an attempted robbery has been jailed for five and a half years.

Jason Humphrey, 46, of Mayfair Drive in Newbury, was sentenced for the attempted robbery of the Lock Stock and Barrel pub, which took place on

By Adam Flinn May 11 last year.

At around 9.30am Humphrey walked into the kitchen area of the Northbrook Street pub through a back door.

He was wearing a hooded coat and had a scarf and sunglasses covering his face, before being

confronted by a member of staff.

At this point Humphrey threatened the staff member, producing an object which appeared to be a gun wrapped in cloth.

He demanded to be taken to an office and to have the pub’s safe opened before a scuffle ensued, during which the victim attempted to grab the gun.

Humphrey hit the victim on the head four times before running out of the premises empty handed.

He was arrested on June 8 last year, was charged on September 28, and convicted and sentenced at Reading Crown Court on August 22 this year.

He was also ordered to pay a £150 victim surcharge.

Investigating officer Det Con Phil Stephens, of Newbury Force CID, said: “This incident had a traumatic and long-lasting effect on the victim, and I would like to commend him for his bravery throughout this process.

“The sentence reflects the seriousness of the threat made, as well as the use of an imitation fi rearm.

“It also shows that Thames Valley Police will deal robustly with any offences of this nature.”

Welford Park hosts new Bake Off

• (from left) Sue Perkins, Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood and contestant Rav Bansal under the famous Bake Off tent at Welford Park (picture courtesy of BBC/Love Productions/Tom Graham) MORE than 10 million people tuned in for the first episode of the new series of Great British Bake Off – filmed in the grounds of West Berkshire’s own Welford Park.

Almost half of all television viewers watched the opening episode of the seventh series on BBC One last Wednesday evening, which saw 67-year-old Lee Banfield the first to be sent home.

The show has been based at Welford Park - around five miles north east of Newbury - since 2014, with it having previously been fi lmed at Harptree Court

in Somerset and Valentines Mansion in London.

Twelve new bakers were tasked with creating their best drizzle cakes, jaffa cakes and a genoise sponge for the fi rst episode, with Jane Beedle the fi rst to be named ‘star baker’.

Great British Bake Off has been running since 2010, presented by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins alongside judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Episode two was broadcast last night, with a focus on biscuits, with the series fi nale scheduled for October 26.

Decision is deferred on Calcot Lidl A DECISION on a proposal to build a new Lidl in Calcot has been deferred as councillors seek more information on the project.

West Berkshire Council’s eastern area planning committee had been recommended to approve the new store, to be built on the old Horncastle Ford dealership next to Aldi on Bath Road.

The application had seen a mixed reception, with some raising concerns about an increase in traffic congestion, that it might take trade away from nearby shops, and if there was a need for it.

But 180 letters of support were also received by the council, saying it would create jobs for the area, promote competition, and renovate a derelict site.

However councillors felt they needed more time to digest all of the information provided to them, with a decision now expected at the next committee meeting on September 14.

Committee chairman Graham Pask said: “We asked lots of questions and we were inundated with lots of information which will take a little while to assimilate.

“So we agreed to put it back to allow us three weeks, and it will come up again in September.”

Committee insists on five affordable homes A 17-HOME development for Mortimer has been given the go ahead – albeit with the condition that five of the houses be allocated for affordable use.

West Berkshire Council’s eastern area planning committee made the ruling when it met last Wednesday.

Developer TA Fisher submitted the application to build the houses on the land currently occupied by Fairwinds and Tower House in The Street.

It would see a mix of four flats and 13 houses of between two and five bedrooms built.

However, the committee questioned the developer’s claim that it would not be fi nancially viable for it to include an affordable housing allocation within these.

As such, while committee members said they supported the application in general, it insisted on five of the homes being affordable.

Committee chairman Graham Pask said: “Members without exception thought there should be a provision of affordable housing as we considered that based on their figures, there could be a level of affordable housing.

“We actually praised the scheme and said relatively few people are

By Adam Flinn

objecting to the principle of putting those houses in.

“So the applicant will either go away and fi nd a way of doing it, or they will appeal that condition.

That’s up to them.”

Affordable housing has been a key talking point for councillors in recent weeks, with West Berkshire’s Liberal Democrat group leader Alan Macro saying he thought the council’s ‘1,000 affordable homes target by 2020’ target could be “in some jeopardy”.

Figures published in July said that 158 affordable homes were provided in the district in 2015/16 – the fi rst year of five towards the target.

Cllr Pask continued: “It’s a problem, and let’s not beat about the bush, it’s fairly obvious from every planning agenda.

“The problem is it costs the developers money, the profit margins are that little bit tight and therefore they can’t afford what we need.

“It’s a bit of an uphill battle at times so we’ve stuck our necks out a little bit [with this development] and we’ve conditioned five affordable units within the 17.”

District bucks national trend with impressive GCSE results WEST Berkshire’s students have been celebrating their impressive GCSE results, with some schools posting their best ever figures for grades at A* to C. Pupils rushed to the district’s schools last Thursday morning to see how they had done in their GCSE exams.

Most schools in West Berkshire registered an improvement on last year’s figures, despite national statistics showing a decline of A* to C grades from 69 per cent to 66.9 per cent.

West Berkshire Council’s figures showed an increase of more than three per cent for students gaining • Students at Theale Green School show off their results

By Adam Flinn five A* to C grades including English and maths, rising from 63.9 per cent in 2015 to 67.1 per cent.

Lynne Doherty, the council’s executive member for education, said: “I am absolutely delighted with these results, which are a just reward for all the hard work of the students and their teachers over the last two years.

“Educational attainment is a key priority for West Berkshire Council and to see not only the average improve but for results to rise well above the national average is a great achievement

for all concerned.”

Park House School in Newbury was celebrating its best ever GCSE results, with 65 per cent earning five A* to Cs. Headteacher Derek Peaple said: “We are thrilled by this year’s outstanding GCSE results, which represent the best achieved in the school’s history.

“This fantastic year group thoroughly deserve their success, which reflects the hard work and positive relationships of students and staff working closely together.”

Theale Green School paid tribute to some of its outstanding performers, including Andrew Challenger, who got seven A*s and four As, and Paul Davis, who got six A*s, three As and one B. Aleksandra Panek was also given a special mention by her school, after picking up five A*s and four As. She said: “I am extremely happy with my results and so proud that my hard work has paid off.

“However I do believe that there is always room for improvement, and I will keep this in mind for my A-levels.”

At The Willink School in Burghfield Common, 16 students

achieved at least 10 A*s or A grades, including Rachel LeeMohan, Daniel Jones and Adele Farrelly.

Headteacher Peter Fry said: “It is a record-breaking set of results for The Willink, just surpassing the 2014 high watermark.

“On average for each subject students achieved a half grade higher than expected – the result of great teaching and guidance, motivated students and supportive and committed parents.”

And The Downs School in Comp-

ton saw 82 per cent of its students achieve five A* to C grades, with almost a third of total entries at A* and A. Headteacher Chris Prosser said: “We are so delighted for this group of students, they have worked so hard to achieve this excellent set of results.”

He continued: “The key ingredients of this success have been high quality teaching and learning, determined and committed students and staff, and a strong partnership with our parents.”

Refusal suggested for farm despite support THE redevelopment of redundant farm buildings into a house could be refused planning permission from West Berkshire Council, despite sizeable support from the surrounding community for the project.

PAC Farms Ltd wants to demolish most of the disused barns at Winterbourne Farm, to the north of Newbury in Winterborune, and replace them with a large detached house, while one barn would be renovated for a garage.

Land on the site would also be designated as an informal parking area for village use.

The council’s western area planning committee was expected to make a decision on the application last night as the Observer went to press.

Eighteen letters of support for the project had been sent to the council from members of the public, with improvements to the appearance of the area and the environment being brought up.

There was also praise from Winterbourne Parish Council, which said: “The redundant farm site is a dangerous, unstable and unsightly area which

By Adam Flinn

detracts from the village. “The proposed house is considered a sympathetic and attractive design which will fit well into the landscape.�

However the council’s planning officers recommended the application for refusal ahead of last night’s meeting.

They disagreed that the new build would improve the look of the area, and that the house would be separated from the rest of the village due to its location set back from the road.

The pre-meeting report read: “The proposed dwelling and public car parking would result in a detrimental impact on the landscape and scenic beauty of the rural character and appearance of the area of outstanding natural beauty. “The detached siting of the proposed dwelling from the existing built form within the village of Winterbourne would result in the development being seen in isolation from the existing village.�

Council going green with vans THREE new electric vans have been delivered to West Berkshire Council as its environmental health and highways and transport teams seek to reduce their carbon footprint.

It has increased its electric fleet to five as a result, with new charging points for the vehicles also installed in the Kennet Centre car park.

The cost of all five vans and charging points is just over

ÂŁ52,000 for the next two years.

However 75 per cent of the cost of the vehicle leases for the fi rst two years and 75 per cent of the cost of the charging points had been funded through grants around ÂŁ39,000.

Marcus Franks, the council’s executive member for communities and public protection, said: “At West Berkshire Council we’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint and

these new vehicles will help us achieve that. “We worked hard to win funding for them and it’s great to have taken delivery of the latest three vehicles. “While our overriding priority has been to be more environmentally friendly, we also believe it will save us money and we look forward to seeing how these vehicles perform against our expectations.�

Shop fined £75,000 for selling out-of-date food A PANGBOURNE shop was fined £75,000 after it was found to be selling chicken soup 10 days past its use-by date.

The Co-operative store, in The Square, was prosecuted by West Berkshire and Wokingham Trading Standards Service after out-of-date food was found for sale in the aisles on March 6 last year.

The items ranged from smoked haddock fishcakes and Loved By Us turkey breast one day past its best, to Yorkshire provender chicken and butternut soup 10 days past its expiry date.

Food Retailer Operations Limited appeared before Reading Crown Court on August 21, when it was fi ned £75,000, ordered to pay £5,400 in costs and a £120 victim surcharge.

Marcus Franks, West Berkshire Council’s executive member for public protection, said: “The level of penalty indicates the seriousness that the court takes matters of this nature.

“It is imperative that food business operators have in place good systems and that they are robustly implemented to prevent these things happening.

“Having food on shelves up to

By Adam Flinn

10 days past its use-by date is completely unacceptable.”

The investigation focussed on what systems the company had in place to prevent out-ofdate food from being sold, with human error being blamed in this case.

However, in his sentencing, Mr Recorder Rhodes QC said there was “nothing more than partial or casual compliance with the company policy and procedure” at the Pangbourne store.

The company pleaded guilty to one offence under the Food Safety and Hygiene Regulations 2013 at an earlier hearing at Reading Magistrates’ Court.

A statement from the Co-op said: “We pride ourselves on high food hygiene standards and have strict policies and procedures.

“We are sorry that these were not followed and we pleaded guilty to breaching a food safety and hygiene regulation.”

Life-saving machine installed A POTENTIALLY life-saving defibrillator has been installed in a rural pub by West Berkshire charity Heartstart Thatcham.

The device was put in place last month at The Bell Inn in Aldworth after the owners got in touch with the charity after mentioning the idea to staff and visitors.

They then held a quiz night to raise funds for the defibrillator, with training sessions following at the pub so people know how to use it.

Mary Macaulay, of The Bell Inn, said: “We decided to open the pub on a Monday night, which is unheard of, for a quiz with entry by ticket only.

“The evening saw staff donate their wages, patrons donating loose change and more than generous donations.”

Heartstart Thatcham has installed 36 defibrillators in the district since October 2014, and trained more than 700 people.

Nick Young, the charity’s coordinator, said: “CPR improves the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest but used together with a defibrillator brings the best and highest chance of survival.

“But installing devices is only part of the story, you also need to let people know it is there and remove their fear of using it, which is why we run sessions at venues where we have units installed.”

News Bites Fun day in town THATCHAM: Games and activities with a pirates and princesses theme are being staged for young visitors to Thatcham town centre today.

Night of covers from Riff Raff ONE of Newbury’s most popular covers bands will be arriving at The Dolphin on Friday, September 9.

“I was told a long time ago that music is a fantastic servant, but a poor master.”

He continued: “Live performance gives you instant feedback on whether you’re getting it right or not.

“Plus, while there are plenty of reasons for wanting to make and play music, doing it to give other people pleasure has to be one of the most important.”

The free gig will start at 9.30pm.

EXPECT to become an expert on Kenya when writer, photographer, director and traveller Harry Hook arrives at The Haymarket on Tuesday, September 20 for a talk about the African nation.

Best known for directing the cult fi lm ‘Lord of the Flies’ back in 1990, Harry arrives at the Wote Street venue to discuss his love for Africa while showing some of the photos from his travels along with stories about his time in the fi lm industry.

Despite not directing a feature length movie since 1998 - which was the romantic-drama fi lm ‘St Ives’ - Harry insists he has no regrets from moving away from the big screen.

“As a director you always live in hope that a fi lm you work on becomes a great success,” Harry told the Observer.

“And the most stressful job is always the one that is about to happen but is still eluding you.

“Not enough people have agreed and signed off on it.

“Nobody can make up their mind. everyone’s jumpy.

“As soon as the job actually starts its just work - it’s not stressful - it’s playtime and it’s wonderful.”

MARTIN CARTHY A ballad singer, ground-breaking acoustic and electric guitarist and authoritative interpreter of newly composed material.

For more than 40 years Martin Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators, one of its best loved, most enthusiastic and, at times, most quietly controversial of figures. His skill, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers, not only from within the folk scene, but also far beyond it.

Trailblazing musical partnerships with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife (Norma Waterson) and daughter Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 40 albums, but Martin has only recorded 10 solo albums, of which the much anticipated Waiting for Angels (Topic TSCD527) was the latest. Whether in the folk clubs (which he continues to champion), on the concert stage or making TV appearances (he was the subject of the acclaimed `Originals’ music documentary strand on BBC 2) - there are few roles that Martin Carthy hasn’t played.

He’s a ballad singer, a groundbreaking acoustic and electricguitarist and an authoritative interpreter of newly composed material. He always prefers to follow an insatiable musical curiosity rather than cash in on his

unrivalled position. Perhaps, most significant of all, are his settings of traditional songs with guitar, which have influenced a generation of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, on both sides of the Atlantic.

BIGGEST 01256 321800 motoring newspaper ALL MOTS £30.00

Fastfit Service Centre Ltd.

Keeping you motoring for over 30 years After an unveiling at the London Motor Show, the GS is on the roads for a piece of the surge in the sporty market Unit One, Moniton Trading Estate, Westham Lane, Basingstoke RG22 5EE www.fastfitservicecentre.com matt@fastfitservicecentre.com

MG’s first SUV put to the test Power and Efficiency:

By Anthony Yates

The new MG GS is powered by a 166PS 1.5L TGi turbo charged engine that is able to perform very well and will sprint from 0-60 in under 10

seconds and return a decent 46.3mpg (combined).

The engine also feels willing in normal use– but I think it may struggle – especially when fully laden. This is not a put off

– because I can think of a number of similar cars that have the same issues and with some of them costing a lot more than the GS. But in its defence the GS does have a good torque figure of 250Nm at 1,600rpm-4,300rpm which makes overtaking easy.

Even overtaking in top gear on motorways becomes brisk without the need to drop down a gear.

On the road:

VË0 jË jÝË Ë .Ë ÞW ÖÄ ÜjË

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

Actually the GS does well here in the road test. I may have said this before – but I take the same route for all my road tests and the GS felt good. There was nothing that stood out and nothing that I really disliked, but I did sense a

bit more body roll than I would have expected but nothing that would worry me for a SUV. Also, the steering actually felt well weighted even if you turn in a bit lively into the corner - you can be assured of a stern footing coming out the other end.

Safety:

THIS WEEK: WIN TICKETS TO THE DUBAI DUTY FREE WEEKEND!

Falkland endure match to forget as Chesham run riot FALKLAND Cricket Club fell to their biggest defeat of the season after their measly total of 75 saw them lose by nine wickets against Chesham on Saturday.

The Newbury-based side couldn’t get going with the bat, with only three of their 11 players getting into double figures.

It didn’t get off to a good start as James Bird was bowled with the very fi rst ball he faced, spending just three minutes on the field.

His replacement Hamza Riazuddin hit two fours in the 15 balls he encountered, but didn’t do much else as he was sent packing for eight.

Danny Williams was then caught for one, putting Falkland on a paltry 15-3.

There were signs of improve-

By Adam Flinn ment with Saranga Rajaguru and Sam Trumper scoring 28 and 14 respectively, as Falkland went past the half-century total.

But Falkland then suffered a spectacular collapse from 53-3 to 54-7, as Rajaguru and Trumper were both dismissed in quick succession, before being followed by Craig Williams (0) and Jason Williams (0).

Daminda Kolugala got a few more runs on the board as he ended 19 not out, but the remaining batsmen didn’t have much to offer.

Andy Townsend scored two, with no runs coming from either Wilson Carlisle or Ollie Cox as Falkland ended the innings all out for 75.

And somehow it got even

worse for Falkland, as Chesham reached 77-1 in just their seventh over.

Mark Eteen was the only casualty as he was dismissed by Cox for 15, but Matt Rance’s not out 22 and Luke Webb’s 27, together with 13 extras, was enough for Chesham to cruise past Falkland’s total.

Chesham’s innings lasted less than an hour, and saw them hit 14 fours but surprisingly no sixes.

The result sees Falkland drop to fi fth in Division One of the Thames Valley Cricket League, while Chesham have gone top.

With just one match remaining this season Falkland are safe from relegation, but will be hoping to end on a brighter note when they take on title contenders Stoke Green at home on Saturday afternoon.

Steven Bartholomew (54) and Will Wright (59, not out).

Peter Spriggs (37), Scott Gibson (24), Jack Andrews (21) and Duncan Johnson (21, not out) also produced good knocks as Thatcham built up their tally.

However for a while it looked like Wargrave might be able to catch them, with Mandip Sohi (64) and Daniel Pratt (68) boosting their side’s total early on.

But the lower order began to fall away, although a stubborn

• Thatcham couldn’t quite get victory on Saturday (picture by Thatcham Photographic Club)

Sam Bowers and Charlie Moss managed to stay at the crease to ensure a draw.

The result puts Thatcham seventh in Division 2B of the Thames Valley Cricket League, 18 points above the drop zone with one match remaining.

Elsewhere, Kevin Mills put in a stunning bowling display as Newbury Cricket Club beat Sonning by six wickets.

Sonning batted fi rst and scored the majority of their runs with their fi rst three batsmen.

But after that Mills ran riot, picking up the remaining seven wickets to limit Sonning to just 95.

And Newbury comfortably surpassed that when they stepped up to bat, with Stuart Goddard getting to 39 as his side fi nished on 97-4.

Newbury are third in Division 3A, but are too far back from Sonning in second to be able to challenge for promotion with one game left.

Thatcham conclude their season at home to Slough 2nds on Saturday, while Newbury travel to Purley-on-Thames.

GOLF: Kevin Dixon has been crowned the winner of the Liddiard Cup at West Berks Golf Club.

His 40 points in the final saw him triumph in the competition by one shot over Trevor Rogers, after coming through the qualifying rounds which were held throughout the summer.

Elsewhere, Jane Brackenbury, Jason Kendal and Luke Prestoe took the Pro’s Cup with 141 points, ahead of the trio of Malcolm Thwaites, Phil Moss and Mark Kendal.

Gary Waterston won the Saturday stableford, while the men’s team won their friendly away to Studley Wood 3-2 in a match disrupted by lightning and hailstones.

THATCHAM Town Cricket Club had to settle for a draw in their match with Wargrave on Saturday, despite coming close to pinching the win in the closing stages.

Thatcham had set a formidable total of 252-6 off their 52 overs, but Wargrave held fi rm and survived on 212-7 to earn a share of the points.

FOOTBALL: It was a return to winning ways for Hungerford Town as they won 3-0 at home against Hemel Hempstead Town on Saturday.

It followed Saturday’s 2-0 defeat away to Dartford, as well as the loss against Eastbourne Borough the previous weekend.

The result puts Hungerford back up to sixth in the National League South standings with 13 points, within five of early pace setters Maidenhead United.

They next travel to Margate on Saturday, before another lengthy trip down to Cornwall to play Truro City on Tuesday evening.

Inside: Day to forget for Falkland Cricket Club | Draw and a win for Thatcham and Newbury | Bladon seventh in high jump

AFTER last week’s 11-0 demolition of Burnham, it was back down to Earth with a bump for Thatcham Town on Saturday as they were beaten 4-1 at home to Bracknell Town.

Thatcham were second-best throughout the match as Bracknell went 2-0 up in the opening half hour, and added two more after the break.

Shane Cooper-Clark grabbed a second half consolation, but it was still a bank holiday weekend to forget for the Kingfishers.

Bracknell’s new signing TJ Bohane opened the scoring on 17 minutes, heading home from a corner.

Seven minutes later it was 2-0 as Bohane supplied the cross for Adam Cornell to double the visitors’ advantage.

Bohane added his second shortly after the break, before Cooper-Clark was fi nally able to get Thatcham on the scoresheet moments later.

But Thatcham never threatened a comeback, and Bracknell sealed their victory as Cornell completed his brace in the closing stages of

By Adam Flinn

the match.

It comes after Bracknell had also knocked Thatcham out of the FA Cup earlier in the month in a 3-2 defeat at Waterside Park.

Monday’s scheduled game at home to newly-promoted Carterton was called off, although it is not exactly known why.

Thatcham said on their website: “We were informed by an email that Monday’s fi xture with Carterton has been postponed and that the match officials have been cancelled.

“As of yet there has been no communication from Carterton themselves.”

The weekend’s results mean that Thatcham have slipped down to ninth in the Hellenic Premier League Standings, with nine points from five games.

Early league leaders Binfield are on 15 points, but have played two games more than the Kingfishers.

Thatcham’s next game is at home to Longlevens, taking place on Tuesday evening.
