Oxford District 12/3/2018 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Oxford District Personal Details: Name: Andrew Gant E-mail: Organisation Name: Oxford City Council Liberal Democrat group Comment text: Response to ELECTORAL REVIEW OF OXFORD: FURTHER LIMITED CONSULTATION FOR SOUTH EAST OXFORD 2 December 2018 by Cllr Andrew Gant on behalf of the Liberal Democrat group (official opposition) on Oxford City Council. This submission supports that already made by Cllr Craig Simmons (Green, St Mary's Ward) Having reviewed the public comments submitted, the LibDem Group believe that the revised Boundary Commission proposals (6th November) represent a balanced response to the many and varied views expressed and are a significant improvement on the originally proposed boundaries for South East Oxford. The revised proposals retain - and in some cases improve - electoral equality whilst better reflecting community boundaries and identities as well as promoting more effective and convenient local government for the following reasons: A less drastic change from current ward boundaries Leaves current polling districts largely intact Better alignment with current residents associations and neighbourhood watch schemes Better alignment with corresponding County Division boundaries Splits fewer residential streets across ward boundaries Better alignment with current and proposed controlled parking zones Better alignment with Conservation Areas Better reflection of travel patterns We acknowledge that the proposed Donnington and Iffley Ward spans two of the smaller communities, but the need to retain electoral equality makes this inevitable. In fact, this is the case now where the Iffley Fields and Donnington communities are accommodated within a single ward (Iffley Fields Ward). The arrangements within the revised proposals represent, we believe, an overall improvement in this respect. We accept the Boundary Commission's suggested ward names. As can be seen from the Boundary Commission's own Recommendations Map, there is good alignment with the names given to different parts of the City by the Ordinance Survey.

The submission restates support for the initial proposals put forward by Oxford Labour, but recognising that the Commission has already considered these, proposes a hybrid of the Commission’s Original and Further Draft proposals as a way of avoiding the serious problems with the full Further Draft proposals. [nb – the headings below refer to the wards in the Further Draft Proposals] A. Littlemore, Rose Hill, Donnington and Iffley (part), Cowley (part) The proposed Donnington and Iffley wards joins two communities with only limited links, and does so at the expense of separating two communities with much stronger links, Iffley and Rose Hill. As a consequence poor boundaries that do not reflect communities are introduced into the proposed Littlemore ward. Iffley and Rose Hill have been in the same electoral area since at least 1979, and community links between the two are strong. Community groups and individual residents in both areas have raised strong objections to the separation of the two communities, and Oxford Labour backs those objections. Oxford Labour therefore proposes that Iffley and Rose Hill are kept in the same ward, as the Original Draft proposals did. This then makes the proposed changes to Littlemore unnecessary. The boundaries in the Further Draft proposals remove Littlemore’s village green from the ward that covers the bulk of the parish area, and includes it in a ward with Rose Hill, an area with which it has only limited links across a main road. The use of the ring road – a bypass road that over flies the village of Littlemore rather than marking a natural boundary between communities at this point - is equally flawed. The boundaries in the Original Draft proposals took account of the fact that the current Littlemore ward will be too large if it retains its current boundaries, and that a small area needs to be added to a neighbouring ward. Rather than an artificial link across the Oxford Road boundary between two different communities - part of the core of the village and Rose Hill - the Original Draft proposals put the area around Van Diemans Lane into the Cowley ward, where there is a less clear boundary and more of a gradual shift from one area to another. Oxford Labour therefore proposes that the boundary between Littlemore ward, Rose Hill ward and Cowley ward retain the boundaries from the Original Draft proposals. B. Cowley and Temple Cowley (majority of) Consultation on the Original Draft proposals expressed concern about the boundary between these two wards in the Florence Park area, and Oxford Labour accepts those concerns, and supports the amendments to avoid this that were put forward by Oxford City Council in its submission. This would involve the use of the boundary between these wards in the Further Options draft as it runs between the Boundary Brook and Between Towns Road, and then an amendment of the proposed boundary between Between Towns Road and the Oxford Business Park to include Garsington Road, Napier Road, Phipps Road and St Luke`s Road in the Temple Cowley Ward. This is a clear improvement in the Florence Park area, and the inclusion of the above four roads in Temple Cowley ward links them with an area that they shared an electoral ward with from 1979 to 2002, and resolves the Florence Park issue without causing the serious community divisions in Littlemore, Rose Hill and Iffley that the Further Draft proposals do. C. St Mary’s, St Clement’s, Donnington and Iffley (part), Temple Cowley (small part) Oxford Labour wishes to restate that its preferred option is for the scheme previously submitted for this area in response to the Original Draft proposals. This scheme avoids the necessity of splitting Rose Hill from Iffley, uses reasonable boundaries in the tightly packed streets around the Cowley Road, and makes the Cowley Road the centre of wards rather than the boundary between them. However Oxford Labour is aware that the Commission, having considered all submissions, appears to prefer a different approach to this area. Therefore, as a second best option but one which avoids the serious deficiencies of the full Further Draft options, we propose an alternative approach to this area with retains the St Mary’s and St Clement’s wards as proposed in the Further Draft options. This then leaves the Donnington part of the proposed Donnington and Iffley ward, which when combined with a small section of the proposed Temple Cowley ward (the area North East of Cowley Road from the boundary with St Clement’s ward at Belvedere Road as far as Glanville Road) creates a ward with reasonable community links, while avoiding any splits in the roads between Iffley and Cowley Roads. While Oxford Labour has no strong views on ward names, this ward is named Donnington in the attached street list to differentiate it from the Donnington and Iffley ward in the Further Options scheme. To reiterate, this proposal – for the retention of the St Mary’s and St Clement’s wards from the Further Draft options, and the creation of a ward from Donnington to Barracks Lane – is not Oxford Labour’s preferred option, which is the scheme previously submitted. However to avoid the serious flaws with the Further Options scheme in the southern end of the seven wards subject to the current consultation, this alternative proposal seems a much better option that that being consulted on.

  • 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.

  • 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.
