Abingdon Pigeons in July


This pigeon has got the best roost in town.

This Pigeon hangs out at the railings on Wilsham Road near where humankind throw bread to the ducks.

This Pigeon has taken to the other bank where there are new rich pickings. Over there, the caravan club of Great Britain eat outdoors.

Mayor’s Sponsored Climb


The Mayor of Abingdon successfully completed his Sponsored Ascent of Wittenham Clumps, not just once, but 25 times, covering 1375 metres (more than the height of Ben Nevis) in 5 ½ hours. The money raised will go to the Mayor’s charities which are Abingdon Hospital League of Friends and Abingdon’s Charities Working Together.

Abingdon Charities Working Together have a sponsored swim in September, so if you can swim and want to help, here is your chance. Listen to Radio Abingdon for more.

Radley Lake – Campaign Progress


Radley Lakes were seen recently in the paper under the headline of Campaigners Claim Victory.

The Sutton Courtney Waste Recycling Group (WRG), who could also build a new waste incinerator in Sutton Coutrney, need Fuel Ash to cover waste tips, and they are wanting to stockpile the ash to guarantee they have enough for the future – after the Coal burning power station at Didcot closes.

So WRG and nPower just need to sign an agreement, and that will reduce the future prospect of any fuel ash being dumped at Radley Lakes. However fund raising continues, and there was a Sale and tombola yesterday, for the impending judicial review.
