BROOKVALE Baby and Toddler Group: Restarts on Monday, from 10am to 11.30am at the village hall, and then meets every Monday during term-time – just come along!

BROOKVALE Community Association’s December committee meeting: Received an update on Loddon Vale parks, where about 100 bulbs have been planted in Victory Park, and wild fruit saplings are planned for the “pocket park” between Sinclair Drive and Victory Roundabout. Other topics covered included the possibility of funding for a centre manager at the village hall, a potential community plan for the local area and summer coach trip to Brighton.

The next meeting takes place at 7.30pm on Tuesday, upstairs at Brookvale Village Hall.

The association has also issued an update on road safety in Worting Road. This reports that most vehicles are at, or below, the speed limit on the road but that higher speeds occur particularly in the early hours of the morning.

Planned actions include improved signage along with possible resurfacing and a temporary flashing speed limit reminder.
