  • Charney Bassett Parish Council Report on the Community Speedwatch Initiative
    CHARNEY BASSETT PARISH COUNCIL REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH INITIATIVE 1. Background The Community SpeedWatch initiative focusses on education rather than enforcement and - uses trained volunteers at approved roadside sites with 30 mph limits, - monitors vehicle speed via a portable speed indication device. The equipment is deemed to be less confrontational than a speed gun. - ensures vehicles travelling at or above specified speed thresholds are reported to the police. - results in police advisory letters being sent to registered keepers of speeding vehicles. - enables the police to target enforcement activities at identified speeding hotspots. This report is submitted on behalf of village volunteers and covers the first full year of operations in Charney Bassett (plus a brief earlier training period) 2. Management The initiative is managed by the Faringdon East Neighbourhood Action Group which is responsible for two way liaison on police and community safety issues in an area covering Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Stanford in the Vale, The Hanneys and the surrounding villages) . The equipment was funded by contributions from eight participating villages. Charney Bassett contributed £300. The account holder is Stanford in the Vale Parish Council. The participating villages are Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Stanford in the Vale, Littleworth, Longworth, Shellingford, West Hanney, Easrt Hanney and Charney Bassett. Overall coordination is undertaken by Shellingford Each village has its own coordinator and is responsible for insuring volunteers. 3. SpeedWatch in Charney Baassett There are 11 trained volunteers. Seven venues have been approved for SpeedWatch activities 35 operational sessions have been undertaken (normally one hour) 15 sessions have been cancelled (due to weather or unavailability of equipment) 50 vehicles have been found to be travelling at 34mph or more.

  • ONB Branch Committee Meeting 24Th February 2020 Secretary's Report
    ONB Branch Committee Meeting 24th February 2020 Secretary’s report Since the last Committee Meeting, monthly branch practices have been held at Cumnor, Brightwell, Drayton and Harwell. Mid-week afternoon ringing practices have been held at Harwell, Chilton, Blewbury and Brightwell. Surprise major practices were held in Harwell and Drayton. Unfortunately the practice in Drayton was abandoned through lack of support. Susan Read has continued to organise events for young branch members during the school holidays. Since the last Committee Meeting we have gained nine new members: Felicity Masheder (Abingdon), Fin de Massa and George Plant (Brightwell), Nick Speller and Emily Speller (Cumnor), Bobbi Cookson and Mary Leneis (Steventon), and Andrew Jones and Meredith Wilson (West Hanney). Congratulations go to the Abingdon ringers, who represented the Branch in the Guild’s 6- bell striking competition at the beginning of October and were placed first. They have been invited to represent the Guild in the Four Shires 6-bell competition. The branch band ringing Grandsire Caters in the Guild’s 10-bell striking competition in Warfield was placed fourth. On 9th November over 60 members and friends attended the quiz night and supper in Brightwell Village Hall. Thanks go to Roy Thorpe and his ringers for hosting the event and to Anne Hales of Blewbury for devising and comparing the quiz. The event raised £521, including a raffle) for branch funds. New Year’s Day 2020 ringing with refreshments was held at Wantage and there were over thirty attendees. Thanks go to Celia Leeson Cox and all the Wantage ringers for the excellent refreshments.
