ROAD closure: You will probably have seen the large signs warning us of a road closure on the B3349 (Reading Road) between Hook and Hound Green.

The work is due to start on August 2, and will obviously have a big impact on drivers who travel to and from Reading on a daily basis.

Work is said to take up to 20 weeks (which will take us into mid-December), so expect disruption at that end of the village.

CONTACT: The summer months are often a quiet time in Hook, but don't forget that if you have any news you think others should hear about, please let me know.

You can either call me on the above number or e-mail me at mail@amanda.org.uk
