As a Largely Rural District the Highway Network Plays a Key Role in West Oxfordshire
Highways 8.9 As a largely rural district the highway network plays a key role in West Oxfordshire. The main routes include the A40 Cheltenham to Oxford, the A44 through Woodstock and Chipping Norton, the A361 Swindon to Banbury and the A4260 from Banbury through the eastern part of the District. These are shown on the Key Diagram (Figure 4.1). The provision of a good, reliable and congestion free highway network has a number of benefits including the provision of convenient access to jobs, services and facilities and the potential to unlock and support economic growth. Under the draft Local Plan, the importance of the highway network will continue to be recognised with necessary improvements to be sought where appropriate. This will include the delivery of strategic highway improvements necessary to support growth. 8.10 The A40 is the main east-west transport route with congestion on the section between Witney and Oxford being amongst the most severe transport problems in Oxfordshire and acting as a potential constraint to economic growth. One cause of the congestion is insufficient capacity at the Wolvercote and Cutteslowe roundabouts (outside the District) with the traffic lights and junctions at Eynsham and Cassington (inside the District) adding to the problem. Severe congestion is also experienced on the A44 at the Bladon roundabout, particularly during the morning peak. Further development in the District will put additional pressure on these highly trafficked routes. 8.11 In light of these problems, Oxfordshire County Council developed its ‘Access to Oxford’ project and although Government funding has been withdrawn, the County Council is continuing to seek alternative funding for schemes to improve the northern approaches to Oxford, including where appropriate from new development.

A History of Little Tew by Francis Price
A History of Little Tew by Francis Price What does "Tew" mean? The name of our village occurs in many guises in early manuscripts. In the Domesday Book (compiled in 1086 AD) it is spelled "Teowe": some experts maintain this is connected to the Old English word "Tiewe", which means "a lengthy object". From this they argue that "Tew" means "a ridge", though it is difficult to make out a single ridge connecting Little, Great, and Duns Tew. Gardeners will know that the village is built on brash and clay. This area of North Oxfordshire is basically a plateau of Chipping Norton limestone, sloping downwards from the north-west to the south-east. This is a later stratum than the Cotswold Great Oolite: it consists of a thin bed of brash below which there is an even thinner bed of Clypreus Grit, a sandy layer that appears under the Timberyard Room. Under this there is a layer of sticky Upper Lias clay, fifty feet deep, and below that is a stratum of marlstone, exposed in the lower part of the village from the Manor to the Old Post Office. The limestone layer is easily permeable, and the many streams breaking through it have washed away the Lias clay to form wide valleys.There is, however, an unbroken strip of plateau running from Chipping Norton past the Meetings farm and the beech clump at the top of Marsh Hill, and on to Ledwell and North Aston. This forms a watershed between the streams flowing east into the Cherwell and those flowing south into the Evenlode - but it is hardly a "ridge".

The 170 Volunteers, Who Are at the Heart of Cogges Manor Farm, Witney, Were Recognised at Last Night’S OCVA Awards
PRESS RELEASE 12th May 2016 Cogges wins Best Team of Volunteers Award from OCVA The 170 volunteers, who are at the heart of Cogges Manor Farm, Witney, were recognised at last night’s OCVA awards. Picked out of 14 other shortlisted charities, Cogges won top prize for the Best Team of Volunteers Award, in recognition of the dedication and passion that has driven Cogges forward over the last five years since it reopened to the public in 2011. Volunteers are involved in every aspect of Cogges, from animal care, gardening, and maintenance of the site, to administration, leading guided tours and supporting education visits from local schools. They are as much part of Cogges’ 1,000 years of history as the Cotswold stone buildings they bring to life, and are vital to preserving this much-loved farmstead for generations to come. Laura Dean Operations Manager says “If it wasn’t for our wonderful volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to keep going. They are the life and soul of Cogges and are incredibly lucky with the support that we get from the local community.” Colin Shone, Director says: “I am delighted for everyone at Cogges in winning this award and most importantly for the volunteers. We couldn't be more proud of them and how much they do, and have achieved, to get us where we are today.” For more information: www.cogges.org.uk or email [email protected] or call 01993 772602 ENDS Notes to editors: For more information visit Cogges.org.uk or follow Cogges on Facebook/Cogges and Twitter @CoggesWitney.
