Lynwood Village, the thriving retirement village for over-65s in Sunninghill, has made a selection of spacious two-bedroom duplex apartments available for rent for the first time.  People can now enjoy the many benefits of living at Lynwood Village with the flexibility and simplicity of renting their home.  Tenants will have access to all the superb village facilities and services while being part of the vibrant village community.

Why rent at Lynwood Village?

People who would like to live in a retirement village but don’t want to tie up all their capital by purchasing a property could benefit from the option to rent, and others may use it as a way to experience village life and ‘try before they buy’.  Prospective tenants may also include people who are selling their home and want to rent while they decide what to do next.  Renting may also suit frequent travellers, or people with family overseas, who want a secure UK base that is safe to lock up and leave for extended periods.

Ascot Volunteer Bureau (AVB)

AVB was established in 1982, primarily to provide transport to take the older residents of Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale to their medical appointments.

It is now seeing record numbers of requests for its service and urgently needs to recruit more volunteer drivers to help meet the demand. In fact, AVB is currently unable to take on new clients due to the driver shortfall.

Information on volunteering at AVB can be found on its website.

A specially commissioned statue of Frankie Dettori has been unveiled at Ascot Racecourse by Her Majesty The Queen.

The bronze depicts the world-famous Italian jockey mounted on a horse and is located by the Grandstand Lawn. It was designed by artist and sculptor Tristram Lewis and will act as a permanent reminder of Frankie’s unparalleled contribution to racing at Ascot.

The bronze was cast by Fonderia Artista Art'ù di Gaetano Salmista of Florence and Pemburys Fine Arts Ltd., with the Italian art foundry chosen as a natural partner to create the bronze of one of Italy’s greatest ever sporting heroes.

Dettori’s career has been synonymous with the racecourse, having his first ride at Royal Ascot in 1987. Since then his career has included 81 victories at the Royal Meeting and 229 winners at Ascot overall, including the ‘Magnificent Seven’ in 1996 when he rode all seven winners on the Saturday of the Festival Of British Racing, a precursor to QIPCO British Champions Day.

Papplewick is situated bang opposite this famous racecourse and shares a wonderful relationship with this historical course.

On Friday 13^th October Year 4 pupils were lucky enough to be invited for a behind-the-scenes look at Ascot racecourse - not something that many have the opportunity of seeing.  During the visit the boys were shown the various different enclosures of which there are many and they were allowed to try out the weighing scales usually reserved for jockey weigh ins and even had a sneak peek inside the changing rooms to enable them to get a real feel for the atmosphere and how the racecourse operates on race days.

They were lucky enough to feed polos to a retired racehorse Side-Eye at the end of the visit and received an Ascot racecourse goodie bag at the end of the visit.  

Have your say on key planning document helping to tackle climate change | The community is invited to help finalise a critical planning document, designed to ensure sustainability and tackling climate change are fully considered in the Royal Borough’s future growth and development.

Windsor & Maidenhead Council council is holding a six-week consultation, until midnight on Monday 27th November, on the draft of its Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

The SPD aims to shape new development in the direction of net zero carbon, protect and enhance the natural environment, drive carbon reductions in the borough and deliver wider climate change mitigations and adaptations.

A key action within the council’s Environment and Climate Strategy, it will guide developers in preparing their planning applications and will be considered in planning decisions and appeals.
