Town & Manor and Hungerford Town Hall

We have recieved a great boost from West Berkshire Council with the award of a £100,000 Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) grant (see more on CIL grants here). These funds wil go towards building the infrastructure needed for our Kennet Valley Wetland Reserve just north of Hungerford on the flood plain of the River Kennet. The money will be used to build the road access and associated works; its a great start to  fundraising for the project.             

Can you help? 

The Town and Manor is looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom house to rent within 5 miles of Hungerford, starting from late spring/summer 2025,  initially for 6 months. If you know of anything please get in touch.

And remember Hungerford residents get a 25% discount on hire rates of the Town Hall complex.

Hungerford Coin & Stamp Centre

We are delighted to let readers know that our application to have ram raid bollards installed outside our shop has been finally approved by West Berkshire Council. 

The application for bollards was made as a result of the devastating ram raid on our original shop in Hungerford High Street on New Year’s Eve last year where the shop suffered irreparable damage and the theft of the safe.

Hopefully this will help uplift our security in place.
