BUS STOPS: New bus stops are going up in various locations around the town. The Town Council understands that this has become necessary because the existing ones are on telegraph poles and the owners want to make a charge!!

It is hoped to organise a Fresher’s Fair for the students at Wallingford school. Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) to prepare terms of reference. In short common sense has prevailed and Wallingford should be one ward for Town Council elections. BOUNDARY CHANGES: The Town Council has set up a working party to prepare a case for changing the town boundaries to include land within the by-pass and properties in Winterbrook. With the expected expansion of the town it is felt that new homes and existing homes that look to Wallingford for their facilities should pay their Council Tax to the town and be truly Wallingfordians. In addition they will receive a very warm welcome from the town.
