We now have around 80 clients on our books, with new people always asking for help. Gardening in the summer time proved the most popular, with befriending and dog- walking a close second. Other services we provide include minor house repairs, collecting shopping, prescriptions and library books. It never ceases to amaze us how local people are so good- natured and are prepared to give up their time to help someone less able to do things for themselves. We have had some lovely comments from grateful clients, so it has been an all-round success story. It is very satisfying for us and for our volunteers to feel we are able to provide help to someone who lives locally. In November we held a Tea Party for our Good Neighbour Scheme volunteers. It was a way of thanking them for all their hard work during the year. We had a very pleasant afternoon. The volunteers do not often have an opportunity to meet each other, and this gave them that chance and also enabled the Good Neighbour Scheme staff to get to know the volunteers better. We always have room for new volunteers; if you think you could spare an hour or so a week please contact us on 378479, or call into our office in the Exeter Hall - we would love to hear from you.

  • I Understand from a Notice Circulated to My Mothers Home in Park Close Yarnton That an Application Has Been Made by Oxford Prog
    1 Appendix 4 From: MARTIN GILBERT To: Licensing Subject: Application for a new premises licence at Yarnton Manor Date: 06 July 2015 19:17:51 I understand from a notice circulated to my Mothers home in Park Close Yarnton that an application has been made by Oxford Programs Ltd for a new premises licence under the Licencing Act 2003 for Yarnton Manor in Church Lane Yarnton. The provision of entertainment in the form of Indoor and outdoor films, live and recorded music plus also the provision of late night refreshments and alcohol till 3.00am This is unacceptable. The site is only some 300 meters from Park Close which is a sheltered housing complex where old and vulnerable people live. These residents will be greatly disturbed by loud music and possibly frightened by loud and drunk people at 3.00am Also the vehicle noise could be a big problem to these residents in the early hours of the morning. These activities are obviously designed to draw in large crowds of people. The lane to reach these premises is very narrow and not suitable for heavy traffic. Has The Manor adequate parking facilities? Has anyone stopped to consider these retired residents and the impact it will have on the rest of the village. I therefore object on behalf of my mother, who is 100 years old and registered blind. Martin Gilbert 2 Appendix 4 From: Ruth Astall To: Licensing Subject: Application for a new premises Licence for Oxford Programs Ltd at Yarnton Manor Church Lane Yarnton OX5 1PY Date: 23 June 2015 11:46:44 As a resident of Yarnton, I wish to raise the following objections to the above application: Church Lane, which leads to Yarnton Manor, is very narrow and only has footpaths for some of its length.

Matters Arising from these Minutes: Councillor Kerford-Byrnes congratulated the residents for their interest in the Parish Council meetings. He then explained that momentum on the proposal to create a Unitary Authority for Oxfordshire had stalled due to the General Election and the loss of the Conservative majority on OCC. The proposal and a counter-proposal have both been submitted to the DCLG but no response to either has yet been received. Bus services: Thanks were expressed to Rachel Clark, who continues to gather valuable data on bus passenger numbers, and also to Max Cowell who has kindly volunteered to enter this data onto a spreadsheet. The aim is to have a graphical display of information which can be used to make the case for increased services. Councillor Ultsch noted that on Friday 30th June, 12 people were waiting for the bus in Fritwell.

    Bodicote House Bodicote Banbury Oxfordshire OX15 4AA www.cherwell.gov.uk 31 July 2017 Cherwell District Council Community Governance Review 2017 – Possible change in the number of Parish Councillors in some parishes Cherwell District Council is carrying out a Community Governance Review. This is the process that allows the Council to make changes to parishes, such as parish boundaries and numbers of parish councillors. Five parish councils contacted Cherwell District Council, to ask for a review of their number of parish councillors. A working group of district councillors considered the requests, and made recommendations to full Council on 17 July 2017. Councillors agreed all of the recommendations and this is your opportunity to comment. Fritwell Parish Council Fritwell Parish Council contacted Cherwell District Council and requested that consideration be given to increasing the number of councillors for the parish from six to seven. The justification for the request is the increase in electorate during the 1990s, when significant development took place within the parish. The last parish election for Fritwell was held in 2015, and there were seven candidates for the six seats. The electorate for Fritwell on 1 December 2016 (annual publication of the new Electoral Register) was 548. Guidance from the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) recommends a parish council of seven where the electorate is up to 900. On this basis, the recommendation is that number of parish councillors be increased by one so there would be seven parish councillors from the next scheduled election in Fritwell in 2019. Stratton Audley Stratton Audley Parish Council contacted Cherwell District Council and requested that consideration be given to increasing the number of councillors for the parish from five to seven.

  • Two Saxon Cemeteries in North Oxfordshire
    Two Saxon Cemeteries in North Oxfordshire By E. T. LEEDS N 1928 and 1930 occasion offered itself for the exploration of two Anglo­ I Saxon cemeteries in the north of the county, the first at North Leigh, the second at Chadlington. No full account of these investigations has since been published, though a brief notice has appeared in the Anglo-Saxon section of the recently published first volume of the Victoria History of Oxfordshire (pp. 357-60). The present lull in active field-work presents an opportunity to issue a fuller report of the discoveries then made, even though it involves some repetition of what has already been written in the Victoria History. An additional reason, if such be needed, is the scarcity of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries north of Oxford. Before these two cemeteries came to light, the only ones known consisted of graves at Hornton, Lower Heyford, Souldern and Yarnton. All were small groups; none was richly furnished, and in nearly all cases the records are quite summary. As has been remarked in the Victoria History, north Oxfordshire seems to have be~n widely, but sparsely occupied in early Anglo­ Saxon days. It is all the more important, therefore, to publish as full accounts as possible of any cemeteries that have been examined in recent times. NORTH LEIGH (O.S. 6 in., 26 SW) For initial information about this cemetery thanks are due to Miss Mason (now Mrs. Wickham Steed) of Eynsham Hall, who submitted for inspection certain objects which had been found by Mr. Brown of North Leigh when quarrying in a field on the north side of the road to Wileot, immediately south of the lane leading to Holly Court Farm.
