NATIONAL LOCKDOWN – STAY AT HOME

If you are involved with an organisation or charity that benefits the residents of Newbury, don’t miss your chance to apply for grant funding for a special project or core costs.

West Berkshire, along with large parts of the South East and the whole of London, has moved into Tier 4 restrictions from Sunday 20 December.

The move follows an announcement by the Prime Minister on Saturday (19 December) and means that tougher restrictions have been introduced in response to a rapidly rising level of coronavirus infections.

The main gates (off Shaw Hill B4009) will be open for vehicle access for families throughout the Christmas & New Year period.

The Cromwell Road gates open for pedestrian access only, to allow residents in the area to walk into the Cemetery.
