Appeal for witnesses following rape - Iver

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses following reports of a rape in South Buckinghamshire.

The incident occurred between 9:45pm and 10:15pm on Thursday 25 May 2023 in Iver Recreational Ground.

The victim, a woman in her twenties, was out walking in the evening when she was approached by a male and raped.

The offender is described as male wearing all black, including a black face covering with a black hood. He is believed to be approximately 5'8" in height.

Investigating officer DS Christopher Birtles based at Amersham police station, said: “We appreciate that this is a distressing incident and we are investigating with the utmost priority.

“We would like to appeal to anybody who may have witnessed this incident or been in the area at the time to please get in touch. Any information, even if it seems insignificant, could be the missing piece we need.

“You can get in touch by either making a report online or by calling 101 quoting reference number 43230230544.

“Alternatively, for 100% anonymity, you can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Superintendent Emma Burroughs, LPA Commander for South Buckinghamshire, said: “The devastating impact of sexual offences on both the victim and our communities is huge. You have my word that we are doing everything in our power to bring this offender to justice.

“We have additional officer patrols in place throughout the Bank Holiday weekend as well as a dedicated team of specialist detectives investigating. We stand with you, our community, against violence against women and girls. It will not be tolerated.”

COVID communication survey

In July we launched the COVID communication survey. This survey gives residents the opportunity to feedback on the key messaging and will help us ensure that we are reaching the right people with the right message.

We are encouraging champions to provide their own feedback by completing the survey, and also to share the survey amongst their friends, families and resident groups.

Get fit to fight Covid - Slough

The approved plans include:
Plot A will be facing Station Road with an access road where up to 60 homes are proposed – which the applicant said would be 100 per cent affordable houses – with retail, pubs, takeaways, and an energy centre which the centre could accommodate with 800 sqm of floor space on the northern part of plot A.
Plot B would dominate the site as the enormous data centre will be placed there which could take up to 93,000 sqm gross of floor space with offices, a sub-station, and up to 150 car parking spaces – one space per employee at the centre.

My concern is every increasing pressures on our GP surgeries resources- hard enough to get to see a DR at the moment !

THE Slough Conservatives are demanding the government intervene in the council’s controversial A4 bus lanes trial.

The opposing Tories revealed they have written to the Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, to intervene and review the council’s ‘rushed’ and ‘botched’ implementation of bus lanes from Huntercombe Spur to Uxbridge Road.

They have also called for the government to look into Slough Borough Council’s ‘abuse’ of its grant from the active travel fund – the local authority received over £200,000 with around £50,000 spent on the bus and cycle lanes.
In the letter, the Slough Conservatives believe the experimental trial has done the exact opposite of what the scheme set out to do without any public consultation.
They believe the bus lanes have increased traffic congestion, made air quality worse due to long queues, worsened public safety, not improved social distancing and believe the council has ‘misused’ public funds...

I have been listening and watching the news about testing and have noticed that Sloughs covid drive thru testing site is appointment only now. I wonder how long it will stay that?
With people being encouraged to go back to work isn’t testing more important than ever?

The first hybrid walk-in and drive-in testing centre in the country is being set up in Slough and will be operational from Wednesday (24 June) afternoon.

The testing centre will be based in the Montem Car Park, Montem Lane and anyone with symptoms – and for the first time people who are not symptomatic but concerned they may be infected – will be able visit for a test either by foot or in a car.

The site is being provided by the Department for Health and Social Care and is being facilitated by the council.

The centre will be open for those who wish to make an appointment and those who just want to drop-in, though the council is warning drop-ins may have a slightly longer wait.

If coming by car:
Up to four people can come together in the same vehicle

All ages can attend

Tests will be administered by visitors under the guidance of trained testing staff on site

There is no geographical limit on where people can visit from

Actual testing should take between 15 and 30 minutes


If walking:
All attendees over the age of three are required to wear face coverings or they will not be able to take part

Children three and under are not required to wear masks

Special area for testing for those who do not wish to remove face coverings in public

Curtained area available

Parents are welcome to bring children

Actual testing should take between 15 and 30 minutes


Josie Wragg, chief executive, said: “We are proud to be facilitating, not only a site with huge capacity for testing but also one which is the first hybrid site in the country – where people can drive and walk in with no appointment.

“We have been reassured there will be plenty of assistance on site and we would encourage anyone with symptoms or who is concerned they may have covid symptoms, not just now but in the coming weeks to pop along and get a test.

“In an area like Slough, which has seen relatively high levels of infection and has a large black and ethnic minority population which is more at risk of both catching the virus and getting more severe complications from it, having such a site in our borough is excellent and improves testing accessibility for both our residents and those in surrounding areas.”

The site is expected to be operational on Wednesday (24 June) afternoon.

Other access to the Montem Car Park is now restricted and residents are requested not to attempt to park on the site and use other cut throughs between Chalvey and the A4.

My thoughts are with the parents of the 15 yr old who was stabbed to death in Salt Hill Park this evening. Seems there’s always drama in that park. I can’t imagine the pain they must be feeling right now.
Langley high st was closed on Tuesday after a stabbing in the afternoon.
Keep safe out there everyone ❤️

Does anyone in Langley ever see scrap metal collectors around anymore?
