A bumper Christmas edition featuring campaigners from Chieveley and Sandleford, lanterns, Minis and reunited dogs

IN this week's Newbury Weekly News protesters square off against Grundon over the Chieveley incinerator plan and tell the waste giant disposal: “We will fight you until the end”.

Italian job Minis, carol singing fun, Christmas lanterns and a pair of reunited dogs abandoned a year ago also feature in a colourful bumper festive edition.

National newspapers including the Telegraph and the Daily Mail have waded into the fray over houses for Sandleford following a story published in the Newbury Weekly News. Protesters went on another march to express their anger at West Berkshire Council's plans to build on the land seen as an iconic part of literary history.

The council is involved elsewhere after wasting thousands of pounds on a court case and coming away empty handed.
