  • Oxford Meadows & Farmoor
    Oxford Meadows and Farmoor CTA (Conservation Target Area) This area includes the Thames Valley to the west of Oxford as far as Farmoor. It includes the Oxford Meadows Special Area of Conservation, Farmoor Reservoir and gravel workings between Yarnton and Cassington. Joint Character Area: Thames and Avon Vales Landscape Type: Riverside Meadows Geology: Alluvium Topography: Flat riverside land Area of CTA: 1653 hectares Biodiversity: • Lowland Meadows: Extensive areas of nationally important lowland meadow habitat are found at Pixey and Yarnton Meads, Port Meadow, Wolvercote Meadows and Cassington Meadows. There are also a number of smaller meadow sites at Wolvercote, Yarnton and near Eynsham. • Floodplain Grazing Marsh: Extensive areas of this area are floodplain grazing marsh including Port Meadow and some of the large lowland meadow sites as well as other areas of wet improved grassland. • Eutrophic Standing Water: Farmoor Reservoir is the largest area of standing water in Oxfordshire. Some of the new gravel pits near Yarnton also attract good number of wildfowl. Wolvercote gravel pit is also in this area. This habitat is also found at Pinkhill at Farmoor, Dukes Lock Pond and old gravel workings near Cassington. • Fen/swamp: Swamp habitat is found in a canalside meadow at Wolvercote, which supports good numbers of overwintering snipe, and in small railside pits at Yarnton. Rich areas are found in ditches at Wytham. • Reedbeds There is a reedbed at Dukes Lock Pond, at Trap Grounds, in an old gravel pit at Cassington and small areas elsewhere. Reedbeds have been created next to the Thames at Farmoor Reservoir. • Wet Woodland: Small areas largely associated with old pits Access: Largely restricted to footpaths and bridleways including the Thames Path.

  • A Brief History of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and Why Their Plant Communities Changed Over the Last 90 Years A
    A brief history of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and why their plant communities changed over the last 90 years A. W McDonald Summary A multidisciplinary approach to landscape history enabled the examination of botanical, hydrological and agricultural data spanning some 4,000 years. The results showed Bronze Age humans affecting the vegetation by pasturing cattle on the floodplain extending from Yarnton to Oxford. In the Iron Age pastoralists were over-grazing Port Meadow and, between the sixth and ninth centuries, part of the floodplain was set aside for a hay crop whilst the aftermath or second grass crop continued to be shared as pasture. By Domesday floodplain meads were the most expensive land recorded in this survey and Port Meadow was established as common land belonging to Oxford. Having discussed the soil and water conditions on the floodplain and its potential effect on the plant communities, the management history of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common is followed by that of Picksey Mead. Finally, the plant communities are discussed. Those established in 1981/2 are compared with data sets for the early 1920s and for 1996-2006. Changes in the species composition between sites are due to different management regimes and those over time and within sites are attributed to changes in the water-table. Introduction The Oxford grassland comprises common pasture and mead situated on alluvium over limestone gravel. It is unusual for its four thousand years of management history and evidence for the effect this has had on the vegetation. Sited in the upper Thames valley, within three miles of Oxford City centre, Port Meadow (325 acres/132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (75 acres/30.4 ha) (Figure 1 and Figure 2) are known locally as the Meadow, even though they are pasture1.

  • 4 Vegetation Dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow
    4 Vegetation dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow Port Meadow (132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (39 ha) (the Meadow) are adjacent commons lying on the River Thames flood-plain within Oxford City boundary (Map 2.5). They have been grazed since at least the Bronze Age and have never been ploughed. Shiplake Ditch forms the boundary between Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common. The common land and Hook Meadow form part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest first notified in 1952 and re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The Nature Conservancy Council’s citation (1983) states that the history of ecological interest in the Meadow was taken into account so the SSSI should be extended to the whole of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common, with the exception of the Wolvercote allotment gardens. The Meadow is also important as a gene bank of species, particularly well adapted to heavy grazing, which have already been fundamental in the development of agricultural leys (McDonald forthcoming). In 2004, Port Meadow was confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under European Union legislation because of the presence of Apium repens. The whole was registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1993 because there are the remains of six Bronze Age burials and three Iron Age settlement sites and field systems on the commons (Map 4.1). Both commons are owned or held in Trust by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act 1965. Under the same Act, the Freemen of Oxford and the Wolvercote Commoners registered grazing rights for 1,365 horses, 1,890 cattle, 6 donkeys, 48 ducks and 1,192 geese.

  • Rose Hill News 16
    ISSUE 16 March 2012 ROSE HILL news GOOD HEALTH ONFOLLOWING years of frustration ROSE HILL and repeated requests to GP’s surgeries and the Primary Care Trust, residents of Rose Hill are about to see the beginnings of health care services being offered right in the centre of the estate. OCHA’s successful bid to the BIG Lottery Fund highlighted the urgent need for health care services on Rose Hill. The application points out that “the three mile round trip to the nearest GP practice, presents access issues for the elderly, infirm and disabled and travel cost issues for those on low incomes.” The BIG Lottery agreed to fund a five year project enabling OCHA’s Rose Hill community team to work with local GPs and NHS to bring a range of services to the estate, reducing the number of times residents have to travel to their GP surgery. Initial discussions have taken place with the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, GP’s Practice Managers and NHS Practitioners. LAUNCH To launch the project the Health Bus will come to The Oval on Friday 24 February 10.00am – 3.00pm and will be offering free Health MOTs. This is a 15 minute private consultation tive; the Health Bus is a good way there will be fruity fun and games Health Initiative and help raise for residents’ to show that there is with an NHS nurse who will offer to bring services close to where from 3.00pm onwards on the Bus awareness of the importance of a need here for substantial health blood pressure testing, BMI and people live.

  • Response to Boundary Commission's Draft Recommendations on the New
    Response to Boundary Commission’s Draft Recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Oxford City Council (June 2018) Report prepared by Oxford East Green Party with the support of local residents 12th August 2018 FINAL VERSION 1 1. Introduction The Boundary Commission’s Draft Recommendations (June 2018) are, in almost all respects, the same as those presented to them by Oxford City Council’s Labour Group. There are only minor revisions reflecting some errors in the City’s initial calculations and some small changes suggested by the Boundary Commission. Oxford City Council has, very recently (7th August 2018 – going to the City’s Executive Board on 14th August 2018), suggested some minor refinements in response to these Draft Recommendations1 but has, perhaps not surprisingly given their provenance, largely accepted them. Unfortunately, the original proposals are – in the East of the City at least (St. Clement’s, Bartlemas and Donnington Wards) – not driven by the need to more accurately reflect community interests and identities or promote more effective and convenient local government. They were, as one Labour Councillor said to a Green Councillor in a cross-party review group; “designed to make sure you lot can’t get re-elected”. In this alternative arrangement of wards in East Oxford, we use evidence and examples to present our alternative to the Draft Recommendations for new wards we have provisionally named St. Clements, Bannister and Cricket Wards. This alternative arrangement maintains electoral equality whilst better: • Reflecting community boundaries and identities • Promoting more effective and convenient local government These proposals were accepted by Oxford City Council’s Electoral Services Manager, Martin John, as being a viable alternative arrangement of the three wards referred to in the Draft Recommendations as St.
