There are also plans to extend the App to BlackBerry users in the near future. Sibford head Michael Goodwin, said: "Apps are becoming increasingly popular but are still a very new idea as far as schools are concerned. "Certainly we believe we are the first school in the area to embrace this new technology." The Sibford School App will enable parents, pupils and friends of the school o to keep up-to-date with news, events and information. It also features a direct phone and email link, a map showing how to findthe school and photo galleries. "In today's modern world it is important that we use as many different forms of communication as possible," said Michael. "We already have a website, use email and texting to send messages home, and share information on Facebook and Twitter. The new App provides us with yet another tool we can use:' Megan receives award for bravery When Sibford pupil Megan Shemmell was diagnosed with a serious hip problem she refused to let it get her down. Despite numerous operations, and being forced to stop her all-consuming passion of horse riding, Megan remained cheerful. And her triumph over adversity was recognised earlier this year when she was invited to attend the Oxfordshire Youth Awards where she was named runner-up in the Jake Spicer Special Recognition Award, presented to a young person who has faced challenges and difficulty with great determination and resolution and who is an inspiration to others. More than 300 young people, along with proud family and friends, packed Oxford Town Hall for the awards night. Debbie Egan, Oxfordshire youth awards coordinator said:"There were so many inspirational stories.You see so many negative stories about young people but here you really see t�e positive."

A skilled watch and clock repairer, Theodore plied his trade around the local villages. He also played various instruments and posed for photographs for which he charged a fee of half a crown. He travelled around, sometimes on a bicycle without tyres, sometimes on foot, and usually with some form of truck loaded with junk and, in the winter, his fire in a bucket as well.

    SIBFORDS COMMUNITY PLAN 2012 2 SIBFORDS COMMUNITY PLAN FOREWORD ‘‘In this era of Localism the producing of a Community Plan is the first step for the Sibfords to be able to tell the County & the District Councils what the residents need and wish for. It also gives the two Parish Councils the green light to pursue the aims set out in the plan. This will be especially useful now Cherwell District Council’s Local Development Plan is nearing adoption but it also opens the door for many future projects to enhance the already delightful villages you live in. This is your plan for the future of Sibford Ferris, Sibford Gower and Burdrop put together by the Steering Group supported by Working Groups and will need to be updated as time goes by.

  • 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.
