Newsletter Issues
The Newsletter in the Future
As information that would be in the Newsletter will be on the new website and we would also like to reduce some of the logistical difficulties in its distribution, we are reviewing what would be the best way to produce the Shiplake Newsletter in the future. Certainly, the newsletter is appreciated by many of the residents and whilst the number of people using the internet is very high within the villages, we are conscious not everybody uses it. The intention is to continue producing a newsletter, perhaps in a changed format, available via the website and the local shops, Sydney Harrison House and other suitable places.
The Parish Council, February 2014

Neighbourhood Plan Special Supplement in Shiplake News
You can now view the special supplement electronically by clicking here: Shiplake News Nov 2017.
It is 4 page feature in the centre of the newsletter. It includes a full update on the current status of the development of the neighbourhood plan and references the successful Open Exhibition, held earlier this month, with conclusions drawn from it and the resident survey in June.
Hard copies will delivered to residents in the coming week with the special supplement separated from the main body of the newsletter. Keep it for future reference as more information becomes available via the website. It should be easy to keep up to date on the neighbourhood plan in shaping the future of Shiplake.
The newsletter, of course, gives you the chance to catch up with everything that is happening in Shiplake as we enter the festive season.

Shiplake Mobile library Under Threat & Time Changes
The Oxfordshire mobile library visits Shiplake on alternate Mondays. We need to change to a slightly earlier visit time for operational reasons so the visit will be 10.15am – 10.45am instead of 10.55am – 11.15am at The Baskerville
For some time now there has been little or no use of this stop. Should this level of use continue, I am afraid we will have to discontinue the visits. However, in line with our policy to first try to increase awareness of the service, we would be very grateful if the parish council were able to help publicise the visit by displaying the attached poster.
Thank you in anticipation and should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
