🐄 Happy Friday 🐄

Please remember to keep watching your speed along the common.
It is so frustrating with the limited access in to Newbury. We get it. The longer journey in to Newbury is already growing tiresome - but please remember that we have live - BIG - animals on Hungerford common.

Please do watch your speed so everyone stays safe.

Huge thanks to the majority of of people who are keeping to the 30mph speed limit.
