Time s up for old style cash. BUSINESSES in South Oxfordshire and the Vale of White Horse are urged to sign up to a new mailing list with the latest news about financial support available during the third national lockdown. A number of Government-funded support grants, which cover the periods during national lockdowns and localised tier restrictions, are available, as well as further support for pubs. Every time the Government announces a new grant it can take several weeks before councils are given specific details they need in order to open the scheme for applications. This is why the two local authorities set up the South and Vale Business Support mailing list.
Former village pub made asset of community value once again );

CAMPAIGNERS have succeeded in having a former village pub relisted as an asset of community value despite opposition from the owner.
They want to re-open the White Lion at Crays Pond as a community “hub” with shops selling local produce, a coffee shop or bar and other amenities.
The pub was first registered as a community asset after it closed in 2013 and was bought by businessman Satwinder Sandhu.
He failed to re-open it and lived at the property unlawfully with his family until being forced to leave in 2019.
Gas-fired power station could be built on disused farmland );

Balance Power Projects, of Merseyside, is seeking planning permission for a “transitional hybrid energy project” on a piece of disused agricultural field to the west of Wallingford Road.
The 0.42-hectare site is next to Thames Water’s sewage processing plant and would be accessed by a new track off the main road, which would also serve the Hildred family’s “pick your own” farm to the south.
The farm’s old entrance would be removed and new hedgerows planted to fill the gap.
He also could not produce his badges when asked at the roadside. On December 18, Ibrahim was fined £200, and ordered to pay £500 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge. Six points were also added to his driving license. Reading Borough Councillor Tony Page, Lead Councillor for Strategic Environment, Planning and Transport, said: “This is an excellent result from the Council’s licensing team who work hard to enforce regulations in place to protect the travelling public. “Reading’s taxi and private hire drivers are facing an absolutely dismal time at present, with very low levels of business in the town. “I hope that this judgement will deter any drivers thinking of working illegally in Reading, as such activity will not be tolerated, and every opportunity will be taken to prosecute those who contravene the laws.”
