Kentwood Meadows world war 1 memorial park out of bounds

The rather poor park at Kentwood Meadows is now out of bounds following our periodic visit from the travellers. They appear to have left behind materials that the council advise are biohazards.

I feel sorry for the workers who have to clear up the mess and I am shocked that the travellers have not only illegally parked themselves in this park but have vandalised the "park" in this callous way.

When will proper defences to these incursions be put in place? Who knows?

When will the council tax paying public be allowed back in? Who knows?

Who will pay the bill for the clean up? Yes we know the answer to that, it's probably part of the inflation busting 4.6% council tax increase this year.

Hopefully next year some of these new householders who will be living on what was lovely meadowland will help keep the council tax increase below inflation. Oh look there's a flying pig if it is politically correct to use the pig word.

And the gypsies are back at World War 1 gardens or Kentwood Meadows

Can't say it is a great place anyway with the @wokinghambc sop of a small "park" so that they can build all over lovely green natural pastures (Kentwood Meadows) right next to the motorway spur dual carriageway but now the gypsies (or travellers if you are politically correct ish) are back again as at Saturday 29 July 2017.

No doubt fences will be down again, all litter all over the place, legal fees to be paid by council tax payers. This will probably take a couple of weeks and we the council tax payers will be shelling out again.

Not content with 4.6% increase in my council tax this year this will no doubt increase even more next year with the same lack of provision to stop this 3 times yearly incursion into what tax payers pay for.

However the devastation of the gypsies will not be as bad as that caused by @Wokinghambc with their building over lovely open fields with their expensive bland little boxes. Welcome to the new world, money money money...

Wokingham is not the place it was even 2 years ago, sadly going downhill faster and faster...

Tickle casts his vote

Not really but it was nice that the people at the voting station allowed him in. He was well behaved too!

He would vote for anyone who feeds him!

SW Trains bridge of sighs

If you catch the 16.35 from Waterloo to Reading then expect to get stopped for at least 5 frustrating minutes outside Wokingham station while a GWR train gets priority.

When will SW Trains get priority please, just once a week would be a start.

Here is the view I get every single weeknight!

Are you sure Shell?

Used to get my fuel from Shell along the London Road but after these numerous and obnoxious notices I am reconsidering my custom.

If I can't pop in for some milk or a coffee without fear of a hefty fine then I think I will get my fuel from BP now!

Pole axed

 This pole although clearly vandalised seems to have had its day.

Having paid a whopping 4.6% increase on my council tax this year (over twice the rate of inflation) can we expect service at twice the speed?

Looking forward to the new pole by the end of June 2017 @wokinghambc

Not fine with me!

If you are caught driving your car whilst using your mobile phone the fine is £200.

However if you let your dog foul the footpath then the fine is £2500!

So when you are doing something that could potentially kill somebody the fine is £200 but if your dog fouls the footpath where presumably you will not kill anybody the fine is 10 times as much?

We always clear up our dogs mess and take it home with us or put in the bins provided.

But come on @wokinghambc haven't you really gone way too far over the top (yet again) this time?
