PLUNGING temperatures and icy conditions caused major disruption in the Henley area over the New Year weekend. Motorists faced icy roads and patchy fog and police dealt with a number of accidents. Saturday’s icy rain made pavements dangerously slippery for pedestrians.
A 500-seater concert hall or hillside viewing point over Henley could be put forward as projects to usher the town into the next millennium. Covering Falaise Square or building a new day centre have also been suggested. The proposals have been put forward by The Henley Society, which formed a special millennium working party to look at possible projects.
Controveresy has flared following the announcement of a £280,000 grant from the Millennium Commission towards the cost of a proposed footbridge and cycleway linking Wargrave and Shiplake. News of the grant was definitely not welcome to a group of residents in Loddon Drive, Wargrave, adjacent to the point which the bridge would meet the Berkshire bank. They are fervently opposed to the cycleway aspect of the plans.
