🏆 Presentation of the Constable’s Trophy 🏆

Congratulations to this year’s worthy recipient, Alexis R, on this fantastic achievement. It was a privilege to recognise such well-deserved success.
The evening was a tremendous success, with the celebrations taking place in a magnificent marquee and bringing together students, families and staff for a truly memorable occasion.

🔥 Please help us protect the Common & Freeman’s Marsh 🔥
With the prolonged hot, dry weather, the grass across the Common and Freeman’s Marsh is now extremely dry. It would take very little for a fire to start and spread rapidly, putting wildlife, grazing livestock, and this precious landscape at serious risk.
🚫 Please do not light any fires or use disposable or portable barbecues anywhere on the Common or Freeman’s Marsh until further notice.
🚭 We also ask that you never throw cigarette ends out of your car window or onto the ground. Even a small, smouldering cigarette can ignite dry grass and have devastating consequences.
We all have a part to play in protecting these special spaces. Thank you for helping to keep the Common, Freeman’s Marsh, our wildlife, and our cattle safe.
Please share this message to help spread the word.

Soooooo gutted we aren’t here for this 😩 xxx
🚨 PLEASE SHUT THE GATES! 🚨
A friendly but important reminder to everyone using the Common and Freeman’s Marsh – please make sure you close all gates behind you.
Earlier this week, eight of our grazing cattle escaped from Freeman’s Marsh and made quite the adventure for themselves, travelling all the way to Froxfield before settling down in a very surprised resident’s garden! 🐄🌿
The escape happened because a gate along the towpath was left open, giving the cows the perfect opportunity to explore beyond their usual boundaries.
The cattle play a vital role in managing these important habitats, but their safety – and the safety of road users and local residents – depends on gates being kept securely closed.
So please, if you open a gate, make sure you close it behind you. It only takes a few seconds and makes a huge difference.
Thank you for helping to keep our cattle safe and where they belong. 🐄❤️

Could you explain what their vital role is please. I thought it was more to do with grazing rights?
Their enjoying a day out
Lots of dog poo on the marsh aswell when walking remember to pick it up when walking your dog
The poor cows probably thought they'd escaped the slaughterhouse. No such luck, sadly 😔
Wonder if they figured out the gate watching people, known few clever cows who kept escaping and couldn't work out how 🤔
Glad they were found all safe.
Town & Manor of Hungerford i see the gates are padlocked. Would it be possible to strim back the nettles and grass in the turnstile gates, inkpen and Kintbury ones...getting through those with shorts on is a nightmare! Thank you
Gates are regularly left open along there, very frustrating 🤷
