Walton Bridge work starts in 2011

It sounds like  a re-announcement but it was confirmed this week that work starts in January on the new Walton Bridge.

A new bridge has been about to be built for years but the government now claims that the new crossing can open in 2013.

It will be built immediately upstream so the existing bridge, really two temporary bridges, can remain throughout the work.

Henley towpath closure proposed for summer

Henley Town Council has voted to back the closure of the towpath for ten days in July for the Royal Regatta.

The problem here is that the closure gets longer every year. Diverting a national trail for an event is unusual.

The final decision will be taken by Wokingham District Council in February.
