Title District Councillor’s Report Author Cllr Anne-Marie Simpson Parish North Moreton Parish Council Date 12 January 2021 Happy New Year! I hope you had good break at Christmas and New Year despite the current challenges. No doubt most of us are rather glad to see the back of 2020 and let’s enter into 2021 full of hope, solidarity and new beginnings. I would like to thank those of you on the Parish Council and within the local community who have provided support, advice and often just a friendly chat to those who have felt more vulnerable over the past year. The community support and spirit shown across the District has been remarkable and gives us great confidence when planning future projects and programmes designed to sustain the well-being, prosperity and social cohesion of our towns and villages. Local Plan 2035 – a final word Now that the controversial South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 has been adopted by Full Council it carries full weight in the Planning Policy framework and provides protection against unwanted speculative development. Some improvements were made to the Plan during the Inspection phase, including some on community involvement in master-planning, the introduction of the new DES10 zero-carbon housing policy (where there was no such policy at all before) and the prioritisation of cycling and walking. However, the Inspector did not remove any of the strategic sites, nor reduce the housing delivery requirement, so we do expect major new applications to be progressed in the coming months for sites such as Chalgrove Airfield, Culham, Grenoble Road and Berinsfield. Each application will still have to satisfy normal planning conditions, but once a site is allocated in a Local Plan there is an assumption that planning permission will be granted. Strategic Planning activity never stops, however, and we are already engaged in discussions across Oxfordshire and the broader Ox-Cam Arc initiative to create a longer-term strategic vision for the region, including employment opportunities (particularly in the area of green technology and innovation), digital infrastructure, environmental enhancements and community strengthening. And we are also investigating the feasibility of a joint Local Plan with the Vale of the White Horse, since we share so many interests and issues (e.g., the development of the Didcot Garden Town). District Councillor Grants You have until noon on 5 February to apply for a Councillor Grant (£5K per councillor). Application forms and guidelines can be found here: https://www.southoxon.gov.uk/south-oxfordshire-district-council/community-support/grants/councillor- community-grants/ Covid-19 Vaccination Programme Although the nationwide programme is underway, it will still take several months for the whole population to be vaccinated, the key messages to all local residents are as follows: The vaccination programme is being phased in across the county following the national guidance on prioritising patients. Some people have already been vaccinated and others are waiting to be invited. North Moreton Parish Council Chmn. Please do not contact your GP or another NHS service to seek a vaccine – GP practices are still open for providing care to patients and their phones could become swamped, so please wait until the NHS contacts you. When the NHS does contact you, please be ready and attend your booked appointments. Please continue to follow all the public health guidance to control the spread of the virus, protect the NHS and save lives. Our SODC Communications Team remains an active part of this system-wide communication approach. Rising Covid-19 rates in South Oxfordshire To underline the importance of the vaccination programme and the need to follow public health guidance, Covid-19 cases continue to rise in Oxfordshire with a total of 3,624 cases reported in South Oxfordshire up until 5 January and a daily rate of 125 new cases yesterday. Oxfordshire County Council has an interactive dashboard showing the latest covid-19 figures for the county and south and graphs showing the steep rise in cases, largely down to the new more transmissible strain of the virus (see below). We’re amplifying the government’s ‘stay at home’ message through our usual channels and sharing their more recent messaging around this being a different, more transmissible virus. Support for residents SODC’s Community Hub continues to be available to help people access support and essentials during the lockdown if they have nobody else to turn to. With the shielding programme restarting. The message is if anybody thinks they’ll be in need of support they should not wait until they’ve run out of supplies before getting in touch. Anyone who needs support can fill in an online form at: southoxon.gov.uk/communityhub or email [email protected] or call 01235 422600. The Community Hub is not the only support SODC provides residents – Housing Needs have also seen an increase in people needing their support during the pandemic if they’re at risk of being made homeless or sleeping rough – for more details visit southoxon.gov.uk/housing.

  • Oxfordshire's Public Rights of Way Network – Assessment of Connectivity
    Appendix E Oxfordshire’s public rights of way network – assessment of connectivity As part of work to achieve the aims of the first Oxfordshire Rights of Way Improvement Plan, the public rights of way network was assessed using a Geographical Information System (GIS) by Exegesis Spatial Data Management Ltd. This has enabled the production of graphics and tables to show the relative connectivity at the settlement level and for each kilometre square across the county. The graphics are colour coded for ease of reference and simple comparison. Shades of green are areas better connected, whilst areas shaded red are more poorly served. Tables accompany the graphics and include the mean average connected network in each of the settlement size categories. The connectivity study was not able to take account of the other access resources that are available to the public, including access land, neighbouring counties’ rights of way networks, the minor and unsurfaced road network, cycletracks, permissive paths under stewardship agreements, nature reserves, Woodland Trust and National Trust accessible land, and areas made available under Inheritance Tax exemptions -so these should be considered as part of any detailed assessments. In addition, the public rights of way network has been assessed for its ‘disjunctions’ – points where public rights of way meet roads and other barriers – and where there is not a close connection on the opposite side of that road. Some of these match with suggestions submitted as part of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan production. The study is not definitive and there may be other disjointed routes that are not indicated or indicated in error.

    St Andrew’s Hagbourne PARISH MAGAZINE ALTERNATIVE ISSUE – JUNE 2020 Thank you very much to the Parish Councils for giving the Parish Magazine a temporary home on their websites until we are able to safely go back to producing and distributing a printed copy. www.easthagbourne.net www.westhagbourne.org ST ANDREW’S HAGBOURNE PARISH MAGAZINE page 1 JUNE 2020 ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, HAGBOURNE The United Benefice of Blewbury, East and West Hagbourne and Upton together with Aston Tirrold, Aston Upthorpe, North Moreton and South Moreton. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Rector’s Reflections A Saint from Somerset Are you familiar with Somerset? Personally, I have a soft spot for Somerset – I was born there, in Frome, and although we moved from the county when I was very young, I still have a sense that I belong to Somerset. I’m thinking of Somerset because of St Dunstan, who was born in the county back in the 10th Century. Why I am thinking of St Dunstan and who was he? Well, he was a nobleman who later became a monk and then Archbishop of Canterbury. He did much to further to spiritual and political well-being of England back in the 10th Century. We know quite a lot about him from various contemporary documents. Dunstan enjoyed working with his hands. He practised painting, embroidery and metalwork. In the Bodleian Library, there is a manuscript from the time of Dunstan which includes a portrait of him, prostrate at the feet of Christ. This picture could well be Dunstan’s own work. Dunstan was committed to handicraft, and he encouraged every priest to have a handicraft.
