EURO FINAL SUNDAY 14th JULY

We want everyone to be able to enjoy the game on Sunday, so we have taken the decision to close EARLY at 8pm rather than 10pm so our staff can enjoy the game.

Please ensure you do all your big game shopping pre 8pm, we have a great selection of beers, wines and soft drinks!

We will be open as usual over the rest of the weekend.

Come on England!!!

ICE WARNING

The road across Widbrook Common is still officially closed but, as the waters have receded, lots of people have tried to cross this morning....

However, the road is sheet ice and hasn't been gritted so its incredibly dangerous and caused problems for several drivers today.

10/01/2024

Due to flooding, there are still a significant number of of roads closed in our borough. Before you travel, please check the current closures on https://orlo.uk/ZprBN so you can avoid these areas.

It's all over social media!! Someone has started a GoFundMe page to help retrieve the most photographed car in the South!

The car belongs to a boat owner who was doing everything he could for the boating community when the flooding became dangerous!

CAUSEWAY OPENING TIMES

Please be patient, it may take time to get into the Causeway and you'll be required to drive slowly for the safety of pedestrians.

There were a few too many people beeping horns, being impatient and going too fast yesterday.

Many businesses are open as usual!

Happy 2024 Everyone!!!

You have only until midnight today!

Please take a moment to read our update on Cookham Zoo.

After 17 lengthy and frustrating months with countless excuses and delays and zero support received, the local authorities have refused our zoo license based on planning permission (which has been submitted already) and insufficient fencing/hand washing facilities amongst other debunked claims.

The local authority has found no evidence to support their claims that we do not meet the standards of a zoo and have persistently been proven wrong with legislation on numerous occasions by experts in the field and our team here at the zoo. The planning team have confirmed twice that they have no objection to us operating the zoo. However, this was not accepted by the licensing department.

Although we accept like all zoos we have room for improvement we only have one way of doing so which is through the vital income from our visitors. 80% of our animals are rescues, They are now all at risk of being taken from their home and caregivers at the zoo and either placed in holdings or destroyed. Our beautiful Caracal cats are set to be the first to be unlawfully put to death or best case put in a holding by the local authorities with no grounds to do so under any law or regulation, both cats are already licensed by the local authority under the DWA Act. This is just one of the many unreasonable and unnecessary measures that have been imposed on us. Our two cats have extremely complex needs and have built very important bonds with their keepers who are all devastated and distraught with the news that we are facing this challenge.

Sadly we are now calling for all the support we can get as we have had our revenue cut off, however, we still have 72 lives in our hands who depend on us to feed and care for them.

We need to raise vital funds to keep the heating on, to feed the animals and to continue the necessary veterinary care for the zoo’s inhabitants. We have set up a GoFundMe page, all funds raised are gratefully appreciated.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas
