Issue 386 April 2016 50p Gridlock coming? Is Chipping Norton heading for a traffic nightmare? In 2016/17 we’ll see 350 new homes at Penhurst and Walterbush Road, all bringing Sporting heroes more cars through the town centre…maybe trying to get to Aldi and the doctors! In March County surveyors were in town counting the traffic – in advance of 600 new houses at Tank Farm … but with no sign of an HGV ban or by-pass. The Town Centre car parks are increasingly full up, and parking theatregoers are obstructing Spring St, where there’s a 70- bed Premier Inn on the way. Finally Aldi opened in March with queues jamming up Photo: Don Davidson the Banbury Road. Let’s hope someone’s The Town celebrates this year’s Sports doing some planning. Full stories inside.

With live issues, topics could include worth exploring. Possible merits might be ‘more Council Tax and town spending, the Neighbourhood Plan, responsiveness to Chipping Norton’s needs, often felt ignored spending Section 106 money, traffic, HGVs, housing, dealing by the County Council based in Oxford, for example, on with public service cuts, new facilities, Town Hall repairs, transport issues for the A44, preservation of services at the smartening the Town, and more.

Future of First Aid Unit A First Aid service for evenings and weekends operates at Chipping Norton Hospital – run by an Ambulance Service paramedic. Last year, and this year, stories keep surfacing about ‘viability and cost issues’.

This thesis attempts to redress the balance by examining a number of volunteer-run museums in Dorset and the characteristics and motivations of the volunteers involved in their development. This element of the project included a survey of museum volunteers in the county and studies of a selected group of museums through interviews and through archival research in museum records. The thesis also presents a historical analysis, through a number of case histories, of the development of volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages from 1884, demonstrating clearly how the development of these small museums reflects larger changes in the rural community from the paternalism of the late nineteenth century, through growing independence and democracy after 1918, to the counter­ urbanisation of the second half of the twentieth century. 1 Changing perceptions of rural identity are also apparent in the history of these museums.

It takes account of proposed Main Modifications to the Local Plan which are the subject of consultation from 11 November until 23 December 2016 and therefore supersedes the previous draft IDP which was published in July 2015. 1.2 By ‘infrastructure’ we mean essential services and facilities such as schools, roads, water, gas and electricity and open space.

    Agiotfest 2015: Observations by Hilary Paipeti

    The AGIOTFEST SPECIAL 95th Edition Agiot 2 This Month ‘Aerial shot at dusk’ By Νικολαος Ζωχιος AgiotFest 2015: observations by Hilary Paipeti. While poor punters at Reading and Glastonbury wallowed in a summer of dismal mud, AgiotFest-ers revelled in a glorious night of music in Cactus Hilton Valley and on the Dry- Grassy Knoll. This seventh year was heavy on the rock, not so much 'heavy rock' as a bit of roll around the shop: British Folk Rock, Mexican Funk Rock, Classic Rock, and Rock with an instrumental twist. British Folk Rock was a product of the late 1960s, a new musical genre pioneered by Fair- port Convention in their three-album collaboration with the inimitable Sandy Denny. Combining elements of folk music presented in a rock format, at its most pure it takes old folk songs and reworks them using modern instruments and techniques - songs like Fair- port's 'Matty Groves'. Or it gives us new songs that derive from a folk tradition, like Led Zepellin’s 'Battle of Evermore' (with Sandy Denny). AgiotFest headliners Leatherat tend towards the latter style, with a more rocky approach, and the 'folk' components are gener- ated in the form of a fiddle soaring over the main theme, and by the rhythms and tonal shifts of the lyrics and melody.

We can vouch for that! further into characteristic folk territory - sometimes Leatherat members are: Jono Watts (Electric Violin), reminiscent of Irish sounds, and often resounding Pete Bailey (Vocalist & Mandolin/Mandola), Jeremy with more than a trace of our own Greek folk.
