In this week's Newbury Weekly News

Mr Benyon said that being a minister was the icing on the cake but that being the MP for Newbury had always been his ambition.
He said he had a few years of politics left in him and would continue to fight for West Berkshire.
Also this week a Newbury roofer, who preyed on a vulnerable pensioner, charging them 30 times higher than the value of the work he carried out, has been told by judges that his jail term was not a day too long.
Sean Aaron Cross, aged 28, of Ewing Way, was one of a pair of fraudsters, posing as tradesmen, who conned an 83-year-old Reading householder by charging £3,000 for roofing work, assessed to have been worth just £100.
He was jailed for 34 weeks at Reading Crown Court, earlier this year, having pleaded guilty to fraud.
In other news, ambitious proposals to build an £18.2bn international airport near Abingdon have been met with strong criticism from local politicians.
Plans for London Oxford International (LOX), which would see part of the A34 between Didcot and the M4 at Chieveley turned into a motorway, have been submitted to the governments Airports Commission.
Meanwhile elderly residents within the district who are isolated from local services could soon benefit from a volunteer scheme being rolled out across West Berkshire in the coming months.
The Volunteer Centre West Berkshire has secured funding to pilot a Village Agent scheme, which will see volunteers from a number of local parishes help put residents in touch with local services, and is now calling on volunteers to sign up to see the scheme rolled out as soon as possible.
As always, there’s also a roundup of the week’s entertainment and sport, and of course this week’s £25 free fuel giveaway.
