As a follow-up to our previous message, we can confirm that the Mayor's Dinner raised just over £6k for Alexander Devine Children's Hospice, based in Cox Green.

Here we can see Mayor Simon Bond presenting the cheque to Fiona Devine.

The team at Alexander Devine does incredible work but is heavily reliant on donations to maintain their service. You can donate yourself here: https://alexanderdevine.enthuse.com/donate #!/

Date for the diary!

On 13 October the annual Maidenhead Town Show will be taking place in the Nicholsons Centre and along the High St. We'll be down there throughout the day experiencing all the different activities and entertainment this volunteer group have put together.

Be sure to pop down.

Today is the Mayor's Annual Fundraising Dinner. A fundraising event taking place at the Windsor Guildhall.

And we tell you this because the chosen charity is Alexander Devine. A phenomenal children's hospice service providing essential support to families of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. And it's based right here in Cox Green.

Many will know about it, but there are an awful lot of people who aren't aware of the work they do. They are offering services to families across Berkshire and surrounding counties, so we're delighted that the Mayor has selected them for these much-needed funds.

It was our pleasure to judge and award this year's Cox Green Garden in Bloom competition. Here we can see the winner (Lillibrooke Cresent) and Runner-Up (Farmers Close).

Garden in Bloom is free to enter, and anyone can nominate theirs (or someone else's garden). Ward Councillors then judge the entries for a winner and runner-up.

Everyone receives a certificate for entry and all sorts of gardens take part, large and small.

We'll be getting certificates out to all entries in the next week or so. Be sure to get ready for next year!

We're disappointed that for the second year, the path alongside 'the cut' (the stream behind the woods in Ockwells Park) has been left to become overgrown.

This is a popular stretch with walkers but has recently become difficult to get through. This is covered by the current landscaping contract so we've chased them to rectify things which, thankfully, has begun, but also are looking into why this area keeps getting forgotten.

If you haven't walked down there before and are looking for a lovely, peaceful walk through a natural area we'd totally recommend this.....now that you can.

It was a real pleasure handing out the prizes at this year's Cox Green Horticultural & Craft Show.

This event has been going (on and off) for more than 100 years so the 2024 winners add their names to an impressive historical record.

If you haven't taken part or visited the event before we would thoroughly recommend it. There are opportunities for residents young and old to take part in a range of competitions (including photography, art, knitting etc.) or you can simply visit and take in this wonderful community event.

This picture features some of the hardworking committee members that make sure that this event continues to uphold this local tradition. Well done everyone!

Hi everyone,

We've received a few questions about the hay bales in the back fields at Ockwells Park, near Thrift Wood. These bales are collected annually to maintain the habitat. They aren't commercially valuable, so they're used as simple fertiliser.

Unfortunately, wet weather has delayed their removal, as tractors can't access the area. A solution is in progress, but it's not ready yet.

Please report any suspicious activity with the bales. We're working to resolve this ASAP.

That moment you’re out delivering and realise you probably shouldn’t have written the articles in such a rush! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sorry Laxton Green! But well done on your recent win in objecting to daft development.

Fantastic to see this has been confirmed by the Maidenhead Advertiser

Nando’s opening in Maidenhead town centre?

We've all seen that Nando's have confirmed they're opening a new restaurant at The Bishop Centre, but could they be opening one in Maidenhead town centre?

A building control application has been recently submitted to the council for 'Internal fit out of shell unit including new partitions, ceilings, joinery, plumbing and associated M and E services to form a new Nando restaurant.' In one of the units at One Maidenhead!

Watch this space!
