In this week's Newbury Weekly News

To add insult to injury, an ‘Emergency Help Point,’ designed to bring immediate assistance to anyone in distress in the multi-storey, Kennet Car Park, was apparently out of order.
Fuming motorists were told to abandon their cars, make their own way home at their own expense and to collect their vehicles the next day.
Also this week, a shake-up to the appearance of Newbury Market Place could also be on the cards if change of use applications, to see Carter Jonas move out and restaurant chain Bill’s move in, get the go-ahead from West Berkshire Council.
The restaurant would cater for up to 134 people on the ground floor, with an additional function room on the first floor, while estate agent Carter Jonas plans to move to a unit in Northbrook Street with a higher passing footfall.
In other news, schools across the district have revealed mixed results in their latest Ofsted reports.
It was good news for both Trinity School in Newbury and The Willink School in Burghfield Common which were deemed to be good by the school inspection body.
However, Kennet School in Thatcham went from an outstanding rating to requiring improvement and Francis Baily, also in Thatcham, went from being good to requiring improvement as did Hungerford Primary School.
Meanwhile, Newbury went flipping mad again this week as the annual pancake race graced the Market Place.
Minions, priests and the ladies of Downton Abbey all descended on the town centre to go head-to-head for the title of pancake champion 2014, but all were piped to the post by the Ross Brooke team.
