Paddington will return to his seat
Paddington Bear should be returning in due course to his seat in Northbrook Street, Newbury.
He was stolen on March the second but soon retrieved by the police into their safekeeping, while two men await a court appearance on the charge of criminal damage.
Newbury BID, who look after aspects of the town centre, have confirmed that Paddington will come back to his place outside Camp Hopsons. Discussions continue about costs and logistics.
In the meantime, people have left marmalade sandwiches, a jar of marmalade and letters to Paddington on his empty seat.
