Gwen Radcliffe X May 7th Courthouse and on www.oundle.gov.uk Town Council Budget 2015/2016 The coming year will be a challenging one for Council finances with the move to Fletton House having a number of uncertainties around it which have led Council to adopt a cautious approach to forecasting. IT’S BACK! The project will cost close to £960,000, the majority of which has come from WORLD CLASS CYCLING RETURNS TO property sales e.g. Drill Hall and Cemetery Chapel and existing reserves including THE HISTORIC STREETS OF OUNDLE S106 Developer Contribution monies from Persimmon Homes, which to date has not been received. The build budget is something of a movable feast with extra, unforeseen expenditure vying with possible savings on an almost daily basis. The uncertainty of a firm completion date for the project when budgets were being set meant that the Council had to be circumspect in assessing occupancy revenues whilst the lack of interest in the Hospitality area means that we have to budget to run this ourselves. Taking this and the costs of the Neighbourhood Plan into account, the Council were able to unanimously agree the budget and a precept of £336, 543 for 2015-2016, at its meeting on January 20th. This is a rise of 1.86%. However you will be pleased to find that the Band D charge should fall as there are more households in Oundle. Aware that we are using your money, our approach has been one of careful pragmatism. SAVE THESE DATES! Finally it is worth noting that the Localised Council Tax Support Grant, monies which central government says should be passed to Parish Councils and which SATURDAY 9TH MAY 2015 would mitigate the amount of Precept, is once again unlikely to be paid to Oundle Oundle Launch of Friends Life Women’s Tour Oundle Market Place.

  • Appendix 3 Baseline Information
    Appendix 3 Baseline Information This report sets out the findings to date of the baseline data collection exercise undertaken for the SA process. In particular it was used to gain a fuller understanding of the issues in the Plan Area and to inform the appraisal. However, it is appreciated that there are some omissions in the information base, which in any case will be subject to change over time. These omissions will be addressed as soon as possible and changes will be monitored. A list of the ‘implications for the plan’ is inserted at the end of each section, to show the ways in which the Plan could impact on the matters identified. Demography Population Distribution and Structure Table 1 provides details of the size and distribution of the population, the gender and age structure. It can be seen that small concentrations of population exist in the two towns of Oundle and Thrapston, but with the majority spread across the rural area, mainly resident within the well developed pattern of villages and hamlets. While there are some significant variations in the age structure across the Plan Area it is apparent that as a whole it is comparable with the situation in England and Wales and the Region, with slightly more in the 16-64 age range and a little less in the 65+ range. In many ways the age structure of the population is similar to that for the District of East Northamptonshire as a whole. The age structure for the District is illustrated by Figure 1. The Office of National Statistics has made some population growth predictions for the Plan area (2003 based sub-national predictions).

Autumn 1985 Information in this history of the village, from 1066 until the start of the 19th Century, is taken, in the main, from 'Bridge's History of the County of Northamptonshire, Vol. II' dated 1791, and from 'Victoria County History, 1906’.

Taylor of Cambridge University, made for the Royal Commission of Ancient Monuments in North East Northamptonshire, this book is available from the County Library. Aerial surveys, made by Dr. Stephen Upex of Warmington, show field boundaries and crop marks and confirm that there was a pre-Roman and Roman settlement near Tansor Grange, also by the Tansor gravel pit.

  • (The First Millennium BC) in Northamptonshire
    East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of 1st Millennium BC Northamptonshire An Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Later Bronze and Iron Ages (the First Millennium BC) in Northamptonshire Alexander (Sandy) Kidd Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This document has been prepared as part of the East Midlands Regional Research Frameworks Project (Cooper, 1999) to provide a brief statement of the current state of knowledge for the 1st millennium BC in Northamptonshire. It also includes an appendix containing a preliminary statement of issues for a research agenda and strategy (appendix 4). 1.2 The period of study covers the late Bronze Age to the Roman conquest, that is from the Ewart Park metalwork phase (c 1020-800BC - after Needham, 1997) to c 43-47AD. The Northamptonshire Sites and Monuments Record (NSMR) currently contains 518 records related to the Iron Age which comprise 7.4% of the total records. However, Late Bronze Age sites and a large proportion of the undated cropmark sites should be added to this total to more accurately reflect the recorded archaeological resource for the first millennium BC. In Northamptonshire, this period is characterised by evidence for large-scale organisation of the landscape related to the expansion of agricultural production; the construction of hillforts and other defended sites and, at least from the middle Iron Age onwards (MIA), numerous domestic settlements. There is a considerable increase in evidence from the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age (LBA/EIA) to the Late Iron Age (LIA) which is suggestive of substantial demographic growth.
