Sweeping the Hill

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 10:53:24 GMT

Thank you to Legoland for sweeping the hill

Legoland is both a neighbour and a resident of St Leonard's Hill, owning storage facilities at the farm at the top of St Leonard's Hill, where they store some of their Legoland park furniture.

Some time ago, Legoland offered to sweep the hill as they had a machine that they use at the park. Unfortunately, this was delayed as the prior appliance needed to be replaced. The new appliance has arrived, you can see from the picture that it is a 21 plate!

A big thank you to the Legoland team for sweeping St Leonard's Hill.

Small electricals and batteries to be recycled from the kerbside

Thu, 21 Nov 2019 21:09:48 GMT

Small electrical items and batteries can be collected from the kerbside as part of regular waste and recycling collections.

The scheme will mean that residents will be able to recycle unwanted small electrical items alongside their other recycling, food waste and textiles. The Royal Borough is the first council in Berkshire to offer this service from the kerbside.

All sorts of small electrical items including toasters, kettles, keyboards, hairdryers, electric shavers will be collected along with their leads and cables, as long as they fit inside a standard size carrier bag.

Residents should place unwanted small electrical items in any plastic bag and then leave the bag next to their bins on collection day. Household batteries (not including car batteries) will also be collected in the same way but need to left in a different bag.

All electrical items will be either reused or recycled and the various raw materials used to make new products such as the zinc in mobile phones used for galvanising railings and lamp posts and the gold found in games consoles used to make new jewellery.

Larger items, such as TVs and microwaves, will still need to be taken to the tip for recycling. A list of council recycling centres can be found here.

St Leonard's Hill Map

Sat, 09 Nov 2019 19:52:34 GMT

A common challenge for visitors to St Leonard's Hill is the location of the houses on the hill as the properties are not numbered or listed in alphabetical order or listed on Google Maps. We have created a google mymap of the St Leonard's Hill.

We will add the other parts of St Leonard's Hill for example, Dower Park.

Here is the link to the map.

http://bit.ly/slhramap
The map is also available from the menu at the top of the website.

Keeping links with the past

St Leonard's Hill Gate

You may have noticed that in 2017 the gate at the entrance of St Leonard’s Hill was rotting unsightly and has become dangerous.

This is a picture of the original entrance gate.

Whilst it no longer served its historic original purpose which was to define St Leonard’s Hill as a private road by a one day annual closure, it’s very existence does add a degree of identification to the entrance of the prestigious area of St.Leonard's Hill.

This is a picture of the original entrance gate .

This is a picture in 1870 .

In 1979 it looked like this

In 2002 it looked like this,

but in 2017 it looked like this .

Following resident contributions a replacement hardwood gate was commissioned by your committee and is now fully installed .

Ever wonder where the SLHRA logo came from?

Tue, 05 Dec 2017 16:49:08 GMT

The making of the SLHRA Logo

The story behind the logo was that SLHRA wanted to bring together the beauty of the Hill, symbolised by its trees and greenery, with its heritage, based on the ruins of the old St Leonard’s Hill House. Sadly very little now remains except the colonnade and front steps. The designer was supplied with a picture of the house in its glory days and one of the ruins as they are today. The logo had to be simple but striking and easily reproducible on letterheads, emails and signage. SLHRA was delighted with the final result.

Proud of our community

Tue, 21 Nov 2017 21:17:25 GMT

Bin Stickers are on there way!

We have created bin stickers to show how proud we are of our community. These can be affixed to your recycling (blue) and your general waste (grey) bins.

Above is the bin sticker. The 4 digit number refers to the year of your subscription. Therefore in April next year, we will provide 2018 stickers for your subscription.
