TWO families have told how their house “shook” as a car ploughed into three walls outside their homes and demolished a pump at the petrol station next door. Lucy and Richard Owen were asleep at their home in Remenham Hill when an Audi collided with the 4ft metal railing and brick pillar wall in front of their neighbour’s house and two brick-and-flint walls either side of their drive at about 3.40am on Sunday. The A6 then hit a steel barrier and petrol pump at the Whitehill Service Station next door before flipping on to its side.

Vandals brought down a tree branch, uprooted a memorial bench and left litter in Mill Meadows, Henley. The willow branch hit a boat belonging to a holidaying couple at 7am on Tuesday.
