Today (Thursday 6th February 2025), on passing Unit 24, Bury Street, I took a moment to check out the window displays. There are two big displays:
\n
\n* A reminder that the consultation for the Abingdon-on-Thames Neighbourhood Plan closes on February 10th.
\n
\n* Generations of John Mason School students will remember Welsh Farm in West Wales \u2014 home to bog-hopping, waterfall adventures, and gold panning. But with its natural water source drying up, the farm needed \u00a315,000 for a borehole. Thanks to generous donors, they’ve raised \u00a316,270 so far.<\/p>\n

Beyond these, the other windows are full of A4 posters with local events and initiatives, including:
