In this week's Newbury Weekly News

IN this week's Newbury Weekly News the full extent of the 2,000 home development on the rolling fields of Sandleford is being realised by West Berkshire Council.
The council has updated its policy to include additional access routes and provision for the thousands of schoolchildren it expects to come off the back of the development.
However, a Liberal Democrat councillor has accused the council of misrepresenting the facts to the public during an enquiry into whether Sandleford was an acceptable site.
Also in today's paper Newbury Town Council deputy leader Ruwan Uduwerage-Perera has blamed a "lack of support" as one of the reasons behind his decision to resign from his role after just 14 months in the role.
