Friday Street Slipway

The Society has been at the forefront of a campaign to get the Friday Street Slipway reopened for its use by residents and visitors alike.

The slipway was concreted over by local company Sorbon Estates to create two additional vehicle parking spaces. Their refusal to remove the concrete resulted in Henley Town Council doing the job for them, and sending them the bill. Well done Henley Town Council!

The fight then began to get the pontoons, which obstruct entry to the river, removed, and this was eventually achieved in after a great deal of pressure involving the Environment Agency, the Information Officer, the River Thames Society, interested and informed locals led by the Henley Society,

The Slipway is now open and is there to be used for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike.
