@LisaMarieHeenan Hi Lisa Marie - some caddies are being delivered today: please let me know if you haven't had yours by this evening. Communal collections for flats will start 21st November.

It was great to meet Tom Broadbank of Delphic Brewing at the Big Thatcham Fest-Off on Saturday. Tom has some excellent beers including an intriguing gingerbread milk stout - all brewed in the heart of Thatcham ! @delphicbrew @ThatchamTC

Electric vehicle charging points have been installed in Pangbourne and Thatcham this week.

We’re also installing charging points in Lambourn, Hungerford and Newbury as part of our commitment towards protecting our environment.

Enjoying a perfect bike ride up to Hampstead Norreys including the cycling/walking path from Hermitage. Thank you @HighwaysEngland !

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

I'm delighted that we'll be trialling collection of plastic pots, tubs and trays in West Berkshire starting on Monday. 4 locations: the 2 HWRCs, Hungerford Station Rd and Thatcham Waitrose. Please spread the word and use them! More details at https://t.co/OEBG6WJhL3.

An interesting comparison of broadband speeds across England and Wales. It's great to see West Berkshire has a very respectable set of speeds just about everywhere, thanks to WBC's focus on Superfast Broadband rollout over the last 5 years

[Carl Baker @CarlBaker]

Here's the corresponding map of average download speed, showing the speeds that lines are actually receiving.

Note that this data is from June 2020 while the coverage data is from September 2020.

@LisaMarieHeenan @NewburyToday @WestBerkshire Hi Lisa Marie - it would be better if you could book a slot at Padworth (lots of availability) or Newtown Road (available after the weekend). Crews will pick up extra bags if they can, but are in catch-up mode with lots of extra waste and recycling material being put out

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

@andrewdlindsay Jubilee clip?

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

Almost all West Berkshire residents are considerate towards our @VeoliaUK waste teams, however a few people experience road rage and take dangerous risks while waiting for someone's bin to be emptied. Please be calm and patient instead! #ExpectRespect

[West Berkshire Council @WestBerkshire]

The @VeoliaUK waste teams are working in and around roads every day.

They experience people trying to overtake collection vehicles by driving dangerously.

Please be patient and drive carefully.

#ExpectRespect #WestBerkshire #Waste

Can you help us find Florence?

Florence has written us this lovely letter sharing her thoughts about recycling and the environment. We really want to reply to Florence but unfortunately she hasn’t included her address. We hope Twitter can help us #FindFlorence!

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

@scot_scouser Obnoxious and unacceptable, particularly from an elected Councillor.

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

We've now removed the height barriers at Newtown Road HWRC, removing a hassle for drivers of larger vehicles as well as staff. #recycleright

[West Berks Conservative Councillors @WBerksCons]

Environment Portfolio Holder @SteveArdaghW and team @WestBerkshire are keen to hear your views on their strategy for addressing the declared #ClimateEmergency here in #WestBerkshire

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

@drnickyoung @newburyberks @VeoliaUK I do hope so Nick ! We'll look at take up Newbury first, waste being diverted from black bins there will confirm that wider rollout is worthwhile

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

Great to unveil the first 'on the go' recycling bins in Newbury today with @VeoliaUK & @newburybidteam - helping people do the right thing with bottles and cans #RecycleWeek2019

[Steve Ardagh-Walter @SteveArdaghW]

@newburyberks @VeoliaUK There are 7 in Newbury now, with one more to follow once the Market St /Cheap St roadworks are complete. We will of course review usage and can add more if it makes sense.
