THE public information desk at Henley police station is set to be scrapped to save money. Thames Valley Police says it is looking at ways to make “efficiencies” and is carrying out a review of front counters at all its stations. One of the options is to close the desk at the Greys Road station from March, which would save about £21,000. Staff are currently being consulted and it is believed that one job would be affected.

The first Henley High Street Hootenanny was spoiled by wet weather and being held on the wrong day, say retailers. Many more shops than normal stayed open for Sunday’s event, which was designed to boost trade. There was a range of added attractions, including performances by musicians.
