Anyone want to buy a pub?
If so there is a Riverside Public House available for sale on Nags Head Island.

A specialist firm is driving in pilings round what will be the lift at the rear of the County Hall. The hot weather continues and will do for a few days more. And this evening there was a meeting of Abingdon Town Council. I have gathered the points I found of interest from the meeting. I hope councillors can correct any points that I misheard. My hearing is not brilliant at times …

The scaffolding – in place since Easter – has been removed from 30-32 Stert Street and once again it’s easy to see and get inside the Oxfam shop.
Although the cleaning of the lower part of the building is still to do, the upper part of the building looks transformed after renovation and cleaning.

A planning application for The Ox Pub, 15 Oxford Road, Abingdon, has been published on the Vale of White Horse Distrct Council (VWHDC) system, pending a decision in November.
The plans show illuminated signs, enlarged front window, and cash machine, instead of the Ox’s former horns.
In the narrative the application states that planning permission is not required to change a pub to a shop. However some justification is given … the Tesco Express will be in line with the VWHDC Local Plan published in 2006 as it will keep shopping facilities in a designated VWHDC shopping area on the Oxford Road.
They go on to say that the new shop will be next to a Chinese Restuarant, Off Licence, Laundrette and Motor Spares company.
The Off Licence could also be better described as a family run convenience store if you look inside.

At Trinity we celebrated Harvest this morning. I think Trinity are earlier than most churches – so there is probably still the chance to take along some groceries to a church near you in the weeks to come.
Trinity were joined by The Lighthouse Abingdon Church. They normally meet in the Net Young People’s centre, but during the building work of recent months have met in Trinity’s Conduit Hall.
At Harvest today both congregations joined together. Michael, seen here in the picture on the left, and members of Lighthouse Abingdon should be back at the Young People’s Centre – soon. It is good to see Revd. Richard Bittleston, on the right, has made such a full recovery after he was struck down with a very serious illness at the start of May.
