MIGGS (Mobility Issues Group for Goring and Streatley) have lobbied successfully for passenger lifts and other accessibility improvements at Goring and Streatley station, with the aim of making mobility impaired visitors welcome.
MIGGS approached Great Western Railway and Goring parish council for cash support to produce a leaflet to attract disabled visitors, and both have agreed. The North Wessex Downs and Chilterns AONBs and National Trails are all keen to attract and accommodate disabled visitors, and have cooperated in the production of the leaflet. All three bodies are improving accessibility on both sides of the river to help attract both disabled visitors and the able bodied.
The leaflet can be downloaded by following the link below.
Recently, Police and Crime Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld launched a new website to support victims of crime. Victims First is a new online resource for victims of crime which has advice on what to do and how to get help. It includes information and advice for victims including signposting them to services to help them cope and recover from the impact of the crime. It also includes a section on the Victims Code explaining clearly what help victims can expect from the police and other criminal justice agencies if they report the crime.
