Only the Jury was present with no spectators. Peter Joseph was appointed the Constable and all other office holders were carried over once again.
The sun is painting a fantastic picture this evening on the common 🌅
How lucky are we to have views like these!

Hungerford's immediate environment includes; Coots, Moorhens, Canada Geese, Several breeds of Ducks and the White Royal Mute Swan. Waterfowl Day is celebrated on January 17th by the world too. Their preservation along with their environment is a duty taken seriously by a growing number of residents. The safety of all wild animals is important and Hungerford's burgeoning group, Friends of Waterfowl, recognises the role these animals play in animating our various water courses. There are mutual interests across several groups that concern us all. Those being pollution and litter in our rivers and canal. And the safety threats from uncontrolled dogs and unlicensed fisherman not having the knowledge and good sense to know where and when not to cast into or near water bourne birds. We can be thankful that our Town Council has heard some of these concerns and a wildlife preservation zone by the Wharf Bridge has been mooted as a responsible move. The same area is both a popular place for tourists and locals to bring children to interact with the resident Waterfowl. Hungerford is fortunate to have an environment that sustains many forms of wild plants and wild animals. So I'm sure when you were a youngster your parents had that awkward conversation about the water birds and the bees. And that's why you have grown up with an appreciation of the natural world.
Did you know that some of Hungerford’s most loved outdoor spaces are cared for by the Town & Manor? 🌿
From the wide open beauty of the Common, to the peaceful pathways of Freeman’s Marsh, these special places are here for everyone to enjoy — whether that’s walking the dog, spotting wildlife, exercising, enjoying family time, or simply taking a quiet moment in nature.
These areas are part of what makes Hungerford so unique. Grazing cattle on the Common, the changing seasons across the Marsh, the canal and riverside walks, the birdsong, wildflowers and open skies — they all form part of a landscape that has been protected and cared for for generations.
As the weather warms up and more people head outdoors, we’d love to remind everyone to help us keep these spaces beautiful:
🐄 Please drive slowly around grazing cattle
🐕 Keep dogs under control and clean up after them
🗑️ Take litter home or use bins provided
🌼 Respect wildlife and natural habitats
These spaces belong to the whole community, and we are incredibly proud to continue caring for them for future generations to enjoy.
Which is your favourite Town & Manor outdoor space? ☀️🌳
