WOODCOTE
An active community
Halfway between Reading and WallingfordEntirely within the Chilterns AONBComprising some Victorian but mostly modern brick houses In which most work outside the village and fewer than half of those employed locally live in the village; and Probably best known for its famous Rally
A Village:
Of some 2500 – 400% larger than in the 1950’sWho care about Woodcote’s futureWho value the rural look and feel of the village and surrounding countryside; and Who feel very strongly that further development should not be allowed.
