At around 3.20am on Thursday (1/8) a group of four men were disturbed by a member of the public on Marlborough Close, Faringdon as they were hanging around a resident’s parked car. The men left the scene in a grey Audi A6 estate car with a loud engine.

Please see below latest communication from Gigaclear:
As you will be aware, the Shipton build was due to commence on 18th July. Unfortunately due to sick leave, this has been delayed slightly and the build will now commence tomorrow Tuesday 23rd July. I apologise for the delay.
I also wanted to make you aware that work to install the plinth for the main cabinet will start on Thursday 25th July.
This will be a special service where the Bishop of Dorchester will bless the bells in Shipton. This will be followed by refreshments. This is a chance to celebrate the return of the bells and to thank all those who have helped make it possible.
Gigaclear will be installing superfast broadband in Shipton this summer. Their current aim is to start in May and finish in October.
This will inevitably result in disruption and road closures through the village.

Is it Time to Grow your Own?
In the next month or two, Shipton allotments on Fiddlers Hill will undergo an extensive clear-up.
To benefit from this work, now is the time to apply for an allotment. We will allocate the cleared ones on a first come first served basis. So if you fancy growing your own this season please contact the clerk for more information.
Allotments cost just £20 per year, or £10 for half a plot. You don’t have to live in Shipton to rent an allotment here.
Know nothing about keeping allotments? Read the beginners guide to allotments, published in the News section of this website. Everyone has to start somewhere!
