    Summer 2016 - What's New?

    Summer 2016 - What's new? Over the past few months we have made huge progress with the Better Broadband rollout, connecting more remote areas of Oxfordshire than ever before. In achieving over 90 per cent of our superfast coverage target, we celebrated with the residents and businesses of Steeple Aston and Ashbury to welcome the faster connection that will have no end of benefits. This brings us one step closer to reaching our target of 95% of Oxfordshire premises to have access to superfast broadband services by December 2017. In this edition, find out when superfast broadband will be coming to a cabinet near you, read the coverage of our Steeple Aston and Ashbury events and learn about the independent assessment of superfast broadband coverage that is available from thinkbroadband®. Councillor Nick Carter, Cabinet Member for Business and Customer Services Coming to a cabinet near you! Since 1 July 2016, thirteen more cabinets have gone live – including cabinets providing superfast broadband to premises in the vicinity of: • Letcombe Regis • Thame town centre • Christmas Common • Woodcote, Reading • Businesses in the Granville Way/Launton Road area of Bicester • Fencott • Burdrop • Brewery Lane/Scotland End, Hook Norton In the coming weeks 4 more cabinets are expected to go live, providing superfast broadband to premises in the vicinity of: • Bletchingdon • Southam Road, Banbury • Shippon, Abingdon • Long Wittenham • Upper Heyford For further updates about our delivery plans see the coverage map on the Better Broadband for Oxfordshire website. Better broadband reaches remote areas Residents, local businesses and representatives from the Better Broadband for Oxfordshire partnership were in Ashbury on Friday 29 July to celebrate the village becoming the first area of the district to benefit from the second phase of the roll- out with around 230 premises able to access faster fibre broadband.

  • Information on Historical Epwell

    Information on Historical Epwell

    Topology and History of Epwell Village in the 13th century This note attempts to provide some background to the discovery location of the recent Museum acquisition. It in no way implies any tangible connection between the Seal and Epwell. Various sources are used mainly Victoria County History Volume X. A complete gold medieval seal matrix of 13th century date and in exceptional condition. The seal matrix is oval in plan with an applied gold spine and suspension loop on the reverse. In the centre of the front of the matrix is an oval dark green jasper intaglio, intricately engraved to depict a female in profile. The female wears a long veil about her head with either hair, or possibly pearls, visible above the forehead. The matrix has a personal legend in Latin around the outer edge beginning with a six-pointed star and reads '*SIGILVM : SECRETI : hEN :', translated as the 'Secret sea… Topology As the crow flies, Epwell is situated half-way between the towns of Banbury and Shipston-on-Stour, on the Oxfordshire-Warwickshire boundary. Its companion villages are Swalcliffe, Sibfords Gower and Feris, Tadmarton, Shutford and Shennington. Its nearest town is Banbury, 6.5 miles away, but Epwell was always the most remote of its villages, in some periods over 4 hours by cart from Banbury. The village of 1140 acres lies 180 m. (600 ft.) above sea level with a sheltering ring of low hills reaching up to 220 m. (743 ft). The land is of a sandy brown, oolitic limestone which has formed layers of clay at the foots of the slopes.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet

    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet

    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.
  • Agricultural Progress in Open.Field Oxfordshire T

    Agricultural Progress in Open.Field Oxfordshire T

    Agricultural Progress in Open.field Oxfordshire t. By M. A. HAVINDEN T is customary to regard open-field agriculture as backward and static, and consequently it is difficult to believe that any serious farming pro- I gress can have been made within the confines of such an unwieldy sys- tem. It is true that by modern standards progress was slow. But progress is a relative concept, and although the pace of development within open-field agriculture may seem snail-like to us, when it is seen in its historical context it is less unimpressive. Particularly is this so when it is realized that many of the most important advances in open-field farming were made before the idea of agricultural progress became fashionable in the mid-eighteenth century. In recent years the crucM importance of the seventeenth century as the germinative period for agricultural improvement has become appreciated? While the most distinctive changes took place in enclosed regions, like East Anglia, improvement was not confined to such regions. There was an ad- vance along the whole agricultural front in the seventeenth century, on open- field as well as on enclosed farms. Indeed, it may well be, as H. L. Gray was the first to suggest, that this early progress on open-field farms was one of the chief reasons why enclosure was delayed for so long in Midland counties ): like Oxfordshire. ~ As late as z8o 9 Arthur Young was complaining that there were still nearly a hundred unenclosed townships in the county2 In the seventeenth century Oxfordshire was, with the exception of a small area of Chiltern country in the extreme south, an almost entirely open-field i¢ii county; but this does not mean that it was an isolated backwater of subsis- tence farming.
