  • Comments on the Proposed Boundary Changes to South-East
    Comments on the proposed boundary changes to south‐east Oxford As the Chair of Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon Community Group, I would argue that the proposed changes make little sense and that the existing ward boundaries should be retained, with the leeway for change mentioned below. Councillors should represent communities, not raw numbers. The natural boundaries of our ward (Rose Hill and Iffley) are the river, ring‐road, Rose Hill/Henley Avenue and Donnington Recreation Ground ‐ or Donnington Bridge Road if a greater number of residents is needed. If a lower number of residents is needed, the area around Westbury Crescent could be moved into Cowley ward as most people regard it as Cowley. We should keep all the houses on both sides of Rose Hill (the road) as it wouldn't make sense to live on Rose Hill and not in it! Our group would be badly affected by the proposed boundary change as we based our choice of name on the fact that they constitute one ward. We have active members in both Rose Hill and Iffley and this helps to bring the two communities together. It has always been helpful to ask known Councillors to represent us on key issues and to build a working relationship with them. It would be very complicated if we had to refer to multiple Councillors in a number of different communities. Rose Hill and Iffley share common resources ‐ the river, the church, Iffley Meadows, the No 3 bus into the town centre, the allotments, the recreation ground and now Rose Hill Community Centre, which provides facilities such as the gym to the whole community.

  • The Field Names of Cowley.Pdf
    The field names of Cowley Christopher Lewis Cowley and its common fields When I refer to ‘Cowley’ I usually mean the area defined by the Enclosure Commissioners in 1853, encompassing all those detached areas of other parishes.1 The common fields of Cowley stretched from the banks of the Cherwell, south-eastwards to the old Roman Road and the borders with Horspath, Littlemore and Iffley, with a small detached portion on the slopes of Shotover Hill, known as Elder Stumps. A brook, now known as Boundary Brook, runs east to west across this area. Originally it meandered across the fields slightly south of its present course, but it was straightened, and probably deepened, at the time of the Enclosure. Our knowledge of the field names, and where they are in the landscape, mostly comes from maps made for Corpus Christi College, Christ Church, and Pembroke College, and then later in a series of Tithe maps and Enclosure maps. Field boundaries, parish boundaries, and roads are not necessarily coincident, and the boundaries of the open fields are not always shown on the maps. The earliest map that shows the borders of the fields was made for Christ Church by William Chapman in 1777 and names the larger fields as Millam, Long Mead, Compass Field, Ridge Field, Bartholomew Field, The Lakes, Cowley Marsh, and Lye Hill all north of the brook, and Wood Field, Fur Field, Broad Field, and Church Field to the south.2 Other names appear in the documents, sometimes as alternative names for the same pieces of ground, and sometimes seeming more important than the names on the Chapman map.

  • Badgers - Numbers, Gardens and Public Attitudes in Iffley Fields
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 116 NEWS SPRING 2018 A young buck Roe Deer by Iffley Lock Photo by Anthony Cheke NEWS FROM BOUNDARY BROOK NATURE PARK The hedge around the Nature Park between us and the allotment area had grown a lot during the last year and was encroaching on the allotment site. The allotment holders understandably were not happy about this and were prepared to get a professional group to do the work. This would have been very expensive for us and nobody volunteered to help with the clearance. Very nobly Alan Hart, the Warden, made a start on this great task and made tremendous progress. Then the snow came. Alan could not even get into Oxford let alone cut the hedge! He has now done more but there is still a lot to be done if anyone feels willing to help, please contact him. His phone numbers are on the back page of this newsletter. PAST EVENTS Sadly, the January day we chose for our winter walk in University Parks to the river was literally a “wash-out”! On the day, in case the rain decided to stop, I turned up at the meeting place at the time we’d chosen but as I suspected nobody had turned out and the rain didn’t stop. Maybe we could schedule it again. It would be useful if you could let me know if you would have come if the sun had been shining. If not are there any other places in the Oxford area you’d like to explore. Please let me know if so.

  • AN OXFORDSHIRE CHILDHOOD Gillian Mackie 1.IFFLEY. Our
    1 AN OXFORDSHIRE CHILDHOOD Gillian Mackie 1.IFFLEY. Our grandparents lived on Church Way, the loop of road right in front of the old Norman church of Iffley. Their house, which they called Avenham, was subsequently re-named Rick House, because it was built on the site of the cottages in the rickyard of an old farm. This may well have been the White family farm, as the parents of our grandmother Lily White lived in the adjacent house in their old age, and quite likely before this as well. This house is known to have been a farm-house. I was told as a child that the White family had "always" farmed in Iffley. I have always believed that Grandpa designed Avenham, which is an Italianate brick villa, and that he was an architect or landscape designer. Pat though says he worked for the Thames Conservancy & it was his father, in Lancashire, who followed this profession, and the name Avenham was taken from a park he had designed in Lancashire. It appears that Grandpa, George Edward Rowbotham, who was at school at St.Peter's, York, had done a year of studies in architecture before he came south in the 1890's and never went back. His drawing of Avenham on the right dates from about 1912 and is from Aunty Alice’s autograph book, which was discovered by Ken Hunnisett in a second-hand shop! Ken says the house still exists as No 101 Church Way. Grandpa cut his ties with his family in Preston, or rather they disowned him.

  • Seed Bank Plants Presentation
    Oxfordshire Recorders and Conservation Day, Saturday, 28 February 2015 Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford OX1 3PW _______________________________________________________________________ Seed Bank Plants - presentation by Dr Judith A Webb All photos copyright J A Webb Introduction As long as I have been a botanist, I have been fascinated by seeds and growing plants from seeds. The theme of this conference is ‘Recording the Invisible’ and my imagination was first caught by the account of the resurrection of the rare plant Starfruit Damasonium alisma - apparently ‘back from the dead’. This had disappeared (been lost) in the flora of ponds that had become silted up or choked with emergent vegetation of sedge and bulrush, losing the shallow open water it needed. ‘Cleaning-out’ such a pond – removing most of the choking vegetation and silt to return it to an earlier successional stage – activates long-dormant (invisible) Starfruit seed held in the seed bank in the pond sediment (as long as some of the original sediment with dormant seed has been left or actively returned to the rejuvenated pond). It is important that we realise, as recorders, that a plant, though not seen as a flowering or vegetative organism, may not be extinct on a site. It may be still there but invisible in the form of viable but dormant seed in the soil or sediment. Such a seed bank might last for only a few years or for up to 100 years or longer depending on the species. What follows are some examples of what I have found out from my own observations and research on plants with seeds with long dormancy and those with short dormancy.

  • 4 Vegetation Dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow
    4 Vegetation dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow Port Meadow (132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (39 ha) (the Meadow) are adjacent commons lying on the River Thames flood-plain within Oxford City boundary (Map 2.5). They have been grazed since at least the Bronze Age and have never been ploughed. Shiplake Ditch forms the boundary between Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common. The common land and Hook Meadow form part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest first notified in 1952 and re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The Nature Conservancy Council’s citation (1983) states that the history of ecological interest in the Meadow was taken into account so the SSSI should be extended to the whole of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common, with the exception of the Wolvercote allotment gardens. The Meadow is also important as a gene bank of species, particularly well adapted to heavy grazing, which have already been fundamental in the development of agricultural leys (McDonald forthcoming). In 2004, Port Meadow was confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under European Union legislation because of the presence of Apium repens. The whole was registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1993 because there are the remains of six Bronze Age burials and three Iron Age settlement sites and field systems on the commons (Map 4.1). Both commons are owned or held in Trust by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act 1965. Under the same Act, the Freemen of Oxford and the Wolvercote Commoners registered grazing rights for 1,365 horses, 1,890 cattle, 6 donkeys, 48 ducks and 1,192 geese.

  • Oxford City Council Local Plan 2036
    Oxford City Council Local Sites Audit Plan 2036 BACKGROUND PAPER INTRODUCTION 1. This background paper forms part of the evidence base for the Oxford Local Plan 2036 and supplements the relevant background papers on Site Assessments that were published at the Issues stage of consultation in 2016 and the Preferred Options stage of consultation in 2017. For clarity, the 2016 and 2017 papers have not been reproduced here but this paper should be read alongside the previous papers. 2. The first part of the paper provides background information on the sites identified at Preferred Options Stage and provides information on how these were identified and the assessment process used to determine which sites would be taken forward for further investigation. 3. The second part sets out the differences between the list of sites accepted at Preferred Options stage and those taken forward into the Proposed Submission Plan. Within this section there is commentary on further reasons considered to help determine which sites should go forward and why sites were rejected at this stage. The section also includes commentary on additional sites that were added at this stage and the reasons for this. 4. The paper is supported by two Appendices. Appendix 1 is a list of Preferred Options rejected sites. This list has been updated with an additional column added to identify sites that were previously rejected but are now being accepted. The additional column contains commentary on why these sites are now being accepted and included within the Proposed Submission Plan. Appendix 2 is a list of the Preferred Options accepted sites.

  • Response to Boundary Commission's Draft Recommendations on the New
    Response to Boundary Commission’s Draft Recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Oxford City Council (June 2018) Report prepared by Oxford East Green Party with the support of local residents 12th August 2018 FINAL VERSION 1 1. Introduction The Boundary Commission’s Draft Recommendations (June 2018) are, in almost all respects, the same as those presented to them by Oxford City Council’s Labour Group. There are only minor revisions reflecting some errors in the City’s initial calculations and some small changes suggested by the Boundary Commission. Oxford City Council has, very recently (7th August 2018 – going to the City’s Executive Board on 14th August 2018), suggested some minor refinements in response to these Draft Recommendations1 but has, perhaps not surprisingly given their provenance, largely accepted them. Unfortunately, the original proposals are – in the East of the City at least (St. Clement’s, Bartlemas and Donnington Wards) – not driven by the need to more accurately reflect community interests and identities or promote more effective and convenient local government. They were, as one Labour Councillor said to a Green Councillor in a cross-party review group; “designed to make sure you lot can’t get re-elected”. In this alternative arrangement of wards in East Oxford, we use evidence and examples to present our alternative to the Draft Recommendations for new wards we have provisionally named St. Clements, Bannister and Cricket Wards. This alternative arrangement maintains electoral equality whilst better: • Reflecting community boundaries and identities • Promoting more effective and convenient local government These proposals were accepted by Oxford City Council’s Electoral Services Manager, Martin John, as being a viable alternative arrangement of the three wards referred to in the Draft Recommendations as St.
