    from www.southhinksey.co.uk South Hinksey Parish Plan Progress Report, April 2006 Action 1: Reduce A34 Probably the most requested action. This is constantly under road noise. discussion, with little success so far. Action 2: Improve safety The Parish Council now participate in the local transport group at slip-roads to with the police and neighbouring councils. The Chair of our A34 Parish Council has been very active in putting forward our concerns. Action 3: Reduce traffic New road markings on the Hill have not really solved the speed on Hinksey problem. Cats-eyes in the road have simply created a new Hill noise problem as large vehicles have to rumble over them. Action 4: Reduce the risk The Flood group has made progress with action taken by the of flooding railway authority to clear drain blockages and clearance of ditches and underground pipes in the village. In the last very heavy downpour there was no flooding in the village. Unfortunately the proposed bund around the village has been abandoned because the Environment Agency could not justify the high expenditure. Action 5: Improve and We have managed to get limited road repairs done in the repair roads, pavements village. Cutting back of overhanging hedges and removal of and footpaths litter particularly on Hinksey Hill has also been done. More pavement and road repairs are needed. Action 6: Improve parking Parking in the village has actually become more of a problem in the village since the pub car park has been fenced off. We are still working on this. Action 7: Upgrade bridge Network Rail have agreed to construct a "Wheelie ramp" on to New Hinksey to the Devil’s Backbone bridge improve cycle access Action 8: Create new We are working with Sustrans, the national cycle network, on cycling and walking establishing new cycle trails throughout the parish.

  • Provision of a Burial Service to South Hinksey Parish Council
    Direct Services Provision of a Burial Service to South Hinksey Parish Council Trevor Jackson 10 January 2017 1 Contents Page Executive Summary 3 Situational Understanding 3 Approach 3 Solutions 4 Pricing 4 Appendices 2 Situational understanding We understand that South Hinksey Parish Council wants to offer a high quality burial service for their burial ground in the village. We also understand that you are particularly aware of the need for manpower and equipment to be operated in a sensitive and considerate way with careful consideration being given to the transit to the graveside and the immediate vicinity of graves.

Oxford City Council is a Corporate Member of the ICCM. We have adopted the Charter for the Bereaved from the Institute and have achieved Bronze Standard in the assessment programme; consequently we take great care in our customer service when dealing with families and friends of the deceased.

  • Enough Is Enough! Stop Oxford Flooding(4)+Caveat
    Enough is Enough! Stop Oxford Flooding Caveat and disclaimer: this article is written in good faith as our best understanding at the time of writing, March 2014. However very little is decided for sure, and things can and will change, the scheme may never even happen, so nothing said here should be taken as gospel or relied on for taking important decisions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Oxford Flood Alliance has been campaigning since 2007 to reduce Oxford’s flood risk. We have had real success but have always known that more would need to be done. Here are the reasons why we strongly support the proposed “Western Conveyance” What follows is based on our best understanding at present. There are several years of planning ahead before work on the ground begins. Something needs to be done to reduce Oxford’s flooding Oxford has suffered increasingly frequent flooding in recent years, a problem which is only likely to increase in future. There are serious effects on individuals, families, businesses, the universities, railways and roads, and the sewerage system. Oxford and Oxfordshire’s economy is damaged, along with its reputation as a place to work and to do business. Action needs to be taken to rid Oxford of this threat once and for all. We support the proposed Western Conveyance (also known as the Oxford Relief River, ORR). This is a scheme devised by the Environment Agency and the subject of public consultation in 2009. If various bodies can together in partnership raise the necessary £123 million, it is likely to be given the go ahead next month.

  • Mega-Footpath Problems
    MEGA-FOOTPATH PROBLEMS Most of the Diversion and Modification Orders to PRoWs (DMMOs) published by the County Council are not contentious and therefore the Ramblers do not object to them. Sometimes a suggestion to the Modification Order is made by David Godfrey (Oxfordshire Area Footpath Officer) which leads to a better alternative route. However there are a number of major footpath issues currently affecting Public Rights of Way in the Vale of White Horse. They are listed below. 1. Marcham Mill – Bridge repairs - Closure of path since 2013 SU 457953 293/17 (Marcham). This has been closed for a number of years as the land-owner has refused to carry out repairs to the bridge which has become unsafe. He has also refused to allow the County County to erect a temporary bridge over the stream. The latest news from OCC is that representatives of the Land-owner are at last discussing technical issues with OCC staff. 2. Thames Trail – Obstruction at Oxford Boat Hire premises SP 444076 184/55 (Cumnor). Again a long standing problem. The footpath which runs alongside the site has been blocked by overhanding sterns of boats awaiting repairs. This forces walkers to walk through a working boatyard with attendant Health and Safety issues. 3. Sunningwell Quarry – Closure of path 372/8 at GR SP 498012 for many years. The high cost of the construction of a stairway to overcome quarry face has prevented OCC from implementing a project. Recently Sunningwell Parish Council paid for an initial feasibility study which shows how a new path could be provided to overcome the quarry face.

  • Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K
    Walking back in Time: Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K. J. Kirby . Summary The diaries of Charles Elton, a father of community ecology, give details of over 300 visits in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire between 1940 and 1965 (excluding those made to Wytham Woods near Oxford that are reported separately). The entries illustrate the changes that took place in the countryside in the post-war period; the idiosyncrasies of protected site selection at that time; and some of the management challenges that had to be overcome. Though inevitably a partial record they provide insights relevant to modern conservation. Modern conservationists should ensure that at least the equivalent record is passed on to future generations. Introduction Charles S. Elton, FRS, CBE (1900-1991) was one of the fathers of community ecology (Elton 1966) and the first editor of the Journal of Animal Ecology. He created and directed the Bureau of Animal Population from 1932 until his retirement in 1965 (Crowcroft 1991). The Bureau was absorbed into the Department of Zoology and Elton continued to have an office there for some years after his retirement. He was also a key figure in the early years of the Nature Conservancy which was set up in 1949, the forerunner of Natural England and the other statutory conservation agencies, and was involved in discussions on which sites should be become reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Figure 1. Elton (in the middle, holding nets) with students in the 1950s. Elton lived in north Oxford and there is a commemoration plaque in the pavement in Park Town.
