This was brought home to me recently when a pet was sadly killed in Crays Pond by a car travelling at excessive speed, and when one of our Councillors men- tioned that he had personally observed how frequently cars were driving beyond the speed limits whilst he was working on repairing one of our bus shelters. This clearly puts our community at risk. In turn, I find it surprising how challenging it is to get the support and action of Oxford County Council (OCC) Highways to help address this, given how obvious it is that it is the right thing to do and all the tail winds in society point to the benefits of reduced speeds in general, whether for safety or environmental considerations. It was interesting that it was finally mandated recently at the OCC Cabinet that it should be policy in relatively built up areas that 20mph should be the default speed limit. So what are your Parish Council doing about it. Firstly, we are regularly badgering OCC Highways to implement the new 30mph speed limit at Crays Pond that was approved earlier this year. There have apparently been delays due to the release of funds and slight modifications to the works plan to allow for a high -pressure fuel pipeline that runs through the village. We are reassured however that all has been resolved and they are pushing ahead with the plans. We thank our Parishioners for their patience and assure you that we are doing everything we can to hurry things along. It is hugely frustrating for us all. Secondly, we are commencing engagement with OCC Highways on seeing if we can re- duce the speed limit to 20mph (from 30 mph) along Goring Heath Road in Whitchurch Hill and also to 30 mph (from 40 mph) in the stretch of road through Whitchurch Hill past the Parish Hall and Church. Finally, Councillor Wise is initiating a project to see if we can set up a Traffic Watch scheme in the community. This enables volunteers, with the full backing of Thames Valley Traffic Police, to use hand held speed detec- tors to monitor traffic speed and report transgressors. This enables the Police to create a data base of drivers who frequently speed with appar- ently excellent prosecution results. We will share more details of how you could help over the coming months, but if you are interested in being involved, please let Councillor Wise know through the Parish Clerk’s email address. 3 (continued) August 2021 Goring Heath NEWS Two final points totally unrelated to the speed issue. It is good to see the refurbished bus shelters across the Parish, with their rooves in par- ticular sympathetically restored. And our apologies for the inadequate grass cutting across the Parish over the last couple of months. We had thought that we had this sorted after the changes to the specification last year, but whilst the wet weather hasn’t helped, we have been very un- happy with the quality of the contractor’s work. We are addressing this for the future. Lee asked me to give you a quick update on this project… I’m pleased to say that a ‘block’ of CIL monies, for various projects / areas has now transferred between SODC and OCC and the monies are now being split up into individual budgets so that I have something to order the works against. I understand that the Crays Pond work is progressing well and is ahead of many other schemes involved with this round of monies. In the meantime, (in parallel to the money transfer) the proposed instal- lation has required some detailed discussions and installation methodol- ogy to allow for the high pressure fuel pipeline that runs through the village. I’ve agreed this, with slight modification to our works, on site with both the pipeline engineer and the practical works supervisor. We’re just finalising the necessary paperwork permissions. In essence, the slight variation is to ensure that the sign / gateway foundations don’t interfere with the pipeline and, in doing so, I’ve added in a small amount of aggregate surface around the affected gateway so that any pedestrians that use the verge can still easily do so, without needing to step out into the carriageway. As soon as the order is placed, the materials can then be procured and, once all together, the roadworks booked, fuel pipeline engineer booked and the legal order (for the 30mph) can be brought into operation. Oh, and in addition there is also the linemarking additions / alterations which will also tie into this work (along with the overall linemarking refresh which is also being undertaken and has ties into this project). I hope this helps, - we’re getting there… and we appreciate both your enthusiasm and patience. Chris Jessop Chairman 4 Goring Heath NEWS August 20212021 Planning Decisions The following planning applica"ons have been considered.

It should not be read as illustrating tacit approval of an application. More often than not this choice is supplemented with specific comments from the parish council highlighting areas of concern . 5 August 2021 Goringg Heath NEWS At Whitchurch Pre -School, our team is committed to providing a secure and caring environment where children can learn and develop at their own pace within a happy atmosphere .

It was the first time I had met Tarek Moghul, our newest parish Councillor, face to face, and I am looking forward to his con- tributions. On the District Council, we are also back to live meetings, but in a rather strange format where we actually use a Zoom meeting although we are all in the same room. This format enables people to watch the meeting live on line, and in the case of Planning commit- tee meetings, objectors can put their points from home via a live link. I expect this facility will continue, as it is so much easier for anyone who wants to speak about a planning application but who may not want to spend a whole evening in Didcot. After something of a lull last year, new planning applications have increased considerably this year. People working at home want ex- tensions, and there is relentless pressure for new homes in our beauti- ful countryside, not least because of the significant financial gain to be made. The recent appeal for a retirement care village at Sonning Common, in the AONB, was granted by a Planning Inspector; bi- zarrely, the reasons the Inspector gave are apparently in conflict with the findings of the Inspector who examined the Local Plan last year. It was just a few years ago that a single garage in Hill Bottom was refused planning permission on Appeal because of the impact on the AONB. At a recent meeting of SODC, we considered the government’s pro- posals to require photo id to be produced if you want to vote at an election.

An increase of 50% from 40p to 60p is the proposal. At present I do not believe a figure has been set for the "discretionary" toll amount.

Nothing survives of the 10th-century church commemorated in Whitchurch’s place-name, which was perhaps originally subject to Goring, but which was apparently independent by the late 12th or early 13th century.1 The benefice (a rectory) was often held by non-resident pluralists, with day-to-day care left to chaplains or curates, although after the rectory house was rebuilt in the early 19th century most rectors resided and served the church in person. An Anglican chapel of ease (St John’s church) was built at Whitchurch Hill in 1883, and briefly had its own parsonage and resident curate. Nonconformity was largely absent until the early 19th century when a Wesleyan Methodist chapel (closed in 1915) was erected at Whitchurch Hill, while a Roman Catholic chapel for Polish refugees was established in 1950 and remained in use for around 40 years. 1 Above, vol. intro.

  • Parish Report Feb 2020
    REPORT TO PARISH COUNCILS FEBRUARY 2020 FROM CLLR DAVID BARTHOLOMEW As per my note last month, I have changed the way I supply reports and I now send out my ‘General OCC Report’ to all parish councils at the beginning of the month. This is to ensure that parish councils that meet later in the month don’t receive out of date news. I will take questions on the report at PC meetings and then deliver my local report in the usual way. GENERAL OCC REPORT SPECIAL THIRD READING BRIDGE MEETING FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2020 At an informal joint meeting of parish councils from the southern part of Oxfordshire on 31st January 2020 to discuss the proposed Third Reading Bridge, the following resolution was overwhelmingly passed: a) In the context of the Climate Emergency a car-based solution to a car-based problem that would pour thousands of cars and HGVs into Oxfordshire is totally inappropriate and should a new bridge be built it should be restricted to public transport, cyclists and pedestrians; b) Notwithstanding the above, if a car-based solution is pursued, the proposed bridge and necessary mitigation measures (i.e. improvements to the Oxfordshire road network) are not considered as two separate projects, but as one single project in order that the benefits, disadvantages and costs of the complete scheme can be holistically assessed. I was asked to communicate this fact to the MP Bridge Summit meeting in March. Representatives from these parish councils attended: Binfield Heath, Eye & Dunsden, Harpsden, Highmoor, Ipsden, Kidmore End, Rotherfield Greys, Rotherfield Peppard, Shiplake, Sonning Common.

    We’re delighted to present three circular walks all starting and ending at The New Inn. The Brakspear Pub Trails are a series of circular walks. We thought the idea of a variety of circular country walks all starting and ending at our pubs was a guaranteed winner. We have fantastic pubs nestled in the countryside, and we hope our maps are a great way for you to get out and enjoy some fresh air and a gentle walk, with a guaranteed drink at the end – perfect! Our pubs have always welcomed walkers (and almost all of them welcome dogs too), so we’re making it even easier with plenty of free maps. You can pick up copies in the pubs taking part or go to brakspearaletrails.co.uk to download them. We’re planning to add new pubs onto them, so the best place to check for the latest maps available is always our website. We absolutely recommend you book a table so that when you finish your walk you can enjoy a much needed bite to eat too. At the weekend, please book in advance, as this is often a busier time, especially our smaller pubs. And finally, do send us your photos of you out and about on your walk. We really do love getting them. @BrakspearPubs How to get there Driving: Postcode is RG4 9AU and there is a car park for customers. Nearest station: Tilehurst 6.4 miles away. Local bus services: The 25 pink bus service (Reading Buses) stops in Sonning Common on Wood Lane.

  • Team Profile for the Appointment of a House for Duty Team Vicar to Serve the Villages of Ipsden and North Stoke Within the Langtree Team Ministry
    TEAM PROFILE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A HOUSE FOR DUTY TEAM VICAR TO SERVE THE VILLAGES OF IPSDEN AND NORTH STOKE WITHIN THE LANGTREE TEAM MINISTRY The Appointment The Bishop of Dorchester and the Team Rector are seeking to appoint a Team Vicar to serve two of the rural parishes which make up the Langtree Team Ministry. The Langtree Team is in a large area of outstanding natural beauty and lies at the southern end of the Chilterns. It is in the Henley Deanery and the Dorchester Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Oxford. The villages lie in an ancient woodland area once known as Langtree, with Reading to the south (about 12 miles), Henley-on-Thames to the east (about 10 miles) and Wallingford to the northwest (about 3 miles). The Team was formed in 1981 with Checkendon, Stoke Row and Woodcote. In 1993 it was enlarged to include the parishes of Ipsden and North Stoke with Mongewell. The Team was further enlarged in 2003 to include the parish of Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. The combined electoral roll (2019) for our parishes was 308. The Team’s complete ministerial staff has the Team Rector serving Checkendon and Stoke Row, a stipendiary Team Vicar at Woodcote and non-stipendiary Team Vicars on a house- for-duty basis serving (a) Ipsden and North Stoke and (b) Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. There is a licensed Reader, a non-stipendiary Team Pastor and a part time Administrator. The Langtree Team staff provide support for the parishes in developing their response to local ministry needs.
