  • Written Evidence Submitted by Vale of White Horse District Council
    Written evidence submitted by Vale of White Horse District Council 1. The Vale of White Horse District Council is one of five district councils in Oxfordshire, and covers an area which includes Botley, Faringdon, Abingdon, Wantage and Didcot. 2. The council wishes to submit evidence to the committee to inform the examination of the support needed for UK music festivals to return in 2021 and the economic and cultural impact of festivals across the country. The Vale of White Horse is home to the Truck Festival, Folly Fest, Live at the Park, the Abingdon Music Festival and the Wantage Music Festival, to name a few. Requests for support from festival businesses and their supply chains suggest they are likely to take the longest to recover and targeted government interventions will be required for the short-to- medium term to ensure the sector can bounce back. 3. The following responses are based on intelligence gathered from March to December from festival and event businesses and their supply chains. Q1. What is the economic and cultural contribution of the UK’s festival industry? 4. The festival industry has an important positive economic and cultural contribution, including job creation, increased local spending, increased social cohesion and sense of community, and increased awareness and promotion of the area, local businesses and charities. For example, the Faringdon and District Rotary Club attends the Truck Festival to raise money for other small local charities. The positive economic impact of a festival can support the local economy long after the two or three day event. For example, Folly fest in Faringdon creates enough footfall into the town that the income taken by local pubs during the festival helps sustain them during quieter times.

  • White Horse Hill Circular Walk
    WHITE HORSE HILL CIRCULAR WALK 4¼ miles (6¾ km) – allow 2 hours (see map on final page) Introduction This circular walk within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Oxfordshire is 7 miles (11km) west of Wantage. It takes you through open, rolling downland, small pasture fields with some wonderful mixed hedgerows, woodland and a quintessential English village. It includes a classic section of The Ridgeway, with magnificent views of the Vale of White Horse to the north, and passes the unique site of White Horse Hill before descending the steep scarp slope to the small picturesque village of Woolstone in the Vale. The walk is waymarked with this ‘Ridgeway Circular Route’ waymark. Terrain and conditions • Tracks, field paths mostly through pasture and minor roads. • Quite strenuous with a steep downhill and uphill section. 174m (571 feet) ascent and descent. • There are 9 gates and one set of 5 steps, but no stiles. • Some paths can be muddy and slippery after rain. • There may be seasonal vegetation on the route. Preparation • Wear appropriate clothing and strong, comfortable footwear. • Carry water. • Take a mobile phone if you have one but bear in mind that coverage can be patchy in rural areas. • If you are walking alone it’s sensible, as a simple precaution, to let someone know where you are and when you expect to return. Getting there By Car: The walk starts in the National Trust car park for White Horse Hill (parking fee), south off the B4507 between Swindon and Wantage at map grid reference SU293866.

  • Vale of White Horse
    Chapter 10 Vale of White Horse Background The Vale of White Horse has a population of 116,000. Abingdon has the largest population of approximately 31,000, Cumnor and Botley, suburbs of Oxford located within the Vale of White Horse administrative area, together have a population of approximately 10,000, Wantage, Grove and Faringdon have populations of 10,000, 8,000, and 6,000 respectively. The Vale of the White Horse borders Swindon, a major urban centre to the south west and has good links to the national trunk road network. Consequently around 13% (slightly below the average for the county) of the Vale of White Horse’s workforce travel outside Oxfordshire to work. There were 60,000 people in employment living in the Vale recorded in the 2001 census; these people usually travel to work by the following modes: Train Bicycle Other 2% 7% 1% Bus, Mini-bus or coach 5% Car passenger 5% Work from home 11% Car driver 61% On foot 8% Development Challenges in the Vale of White Horse The Vale of White Horse is an attractive place to live and work, and its location and transport links make it a good place for businesses to invest. Pressures from both housing and employment growth in the district are likely to pose significant challenges for transport in the next five years, Page 207 Oxfordshire Local Transport Plan 2006-11 particularly in Wantage and Grove, where some of the most significant housing growth in the district is planned. If Thames Water take forward plans, in the longer term, for a new reservoir between Abingdon and Wantage, the transport impacts of this will need to be assessed and any necessary improvements implemented.
