Oxfordshire in Detail Oxfordshire in Detail Summary Report Updated September 2005 Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion What Oxfordshire County Council means by Social Inclusion Social inclusion is the process by which efforts are made to ensure that everyone, regardless of their experiences and circumstances, can achieve their potential in life. To achieve inclusion income and employment are necessary but not sufficient. An inclusive society is also characterised by a striving for reduced inequality, a balance between individuals' rights and duties and increased social cohesion.

OCSI’s consultancy is based on nearly two decades of ground-breaking research at the Social Disadvantage Research Centre (SDRC) in the University’s Department of Social Policy and Social Work. The SDRC is a world leader in area-based deprivation research, developing the National Indices of Deprivation for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. OCSI produces reports specifically designed to give up to date and detailed information about your area, providing you with a comprehensive analysis of deprivation and social exclusion. OCSI reports allow you to compare within your local area on a number of essential indicators, and to make wider comparisons between your area and other similar areas, your Government Office Region and England as a whole.

Summary This Oxfordshire in Detail summary report uses key social exclusion information to investigate patterns of deprivation across the county, and how Oxfordshire compares with the broader context across England as a whole. The key findings are presented in this report, together with a summary People Centred Impact Assessment Profile presented for ten fictional individuals. The full Oxfordshire in Detail report is also available, with detailed analysis of Oxfordshire across ten key themes – population structure; people out of work; people living on a low income; children living in low income households; health, sickness and disability; education and skills; housing and households; crime and disorder; Indices of Deprivation 2004; and other information. In addition, a more detailed People Centred Impact Assessment toolkit is also available, looking at the experiences of social inclusion from the perspective of 10 fictional households. The report is based on the most recent information available, including data from the Indices of Deprivation 2004, 2001 Census, Department for Work and Pensions benefits from 2002-3, and DfES Pupil Level Annual School Census from 2004. The Oxfordshire in Detail report key findings are: • Oxfordshire shows low levels of social exclusion compared with England as a whole • There are areas across Oxfordshire with significantly higher levels of social exclusion than the county and England as a whole Oxfordshire in Detail Summary Report, Updated September 2005 3 Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion, www.ocsi.co.uk, [email protected], 0870 240 1474.

With sixteen subjects he could only devote a paragraph to each. One that caught my eye was Thomas Ward Boss (born 1825), long-time librarian at the Mechanics' Institute. Then I realised I had a copy of the published version of his talk delivered one hundred and one years ago, in March 1903. Re-reading it, I found it quite absorbing, a wonderful complement to George Herbert's famous Shoemaker's Window, a reminiscence of Banbury in the 1830s and later. On the assumption that few are likely to track down copies in local libraries, it seems well worthwhile to reprint it here, from the original Cheney's version. There are a few insignificant misprints, but, especially in view of the sad demise of our oldest Banbury business, it is good to reprint a typical piece of their work.

  • Oxfordshire County Council Election Results 1973-2009
    Oxfordshire County Council Election Results 1973-2009 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Where Was Banbury Cross?
    Where was Banbury Cross? By P. D. A. HARVEY HERE is nothing for which Banbury is more famous than for its Cross, and it is strange that it should still be possible to question the conclusions ofT any of the town's historians as to where this Cross stood. But between them there is agreement only that the town's principal cross or crosses had been destroyed by its inhabitants' puritan zeal in the early 17th century, so that Richard Corbet, writing between 1618 and 1621, saw only their bases , like old stumps of Trees'.' By the time historians tried to identify the site of the cross commemorated in one famous and several lesser nursery rbymes' all traces had vanished, so that written records formed the only evidence. The first to attempt the task was Alfred Beesley, whose History of Banbury was completed in I 84l.J He placed 'the principal Cross at Banbury ' unequivocally in the Horse Fair, but added that there were other crosses within the borough and mentions references to the 'Highe Crosse', the , Market Cross " the' Bread Cross ' and' the White Cross without Sugarford Bar'. In a footnote he identified the 17th-century Breadcross Street with the western part of High Street and suggested that the Bread Cross stood near its west end, concluding' It is quite possible that this was the same with the .. Banbury Cross" first mentioned'.. One result of Beesley'S argument was the location of the present cross, built in the Horse Fair in 1859.5 Another was an incident related by George Herbert in bis reminis­ cences of Banbury: when trees were being planted in the Horse Fair in 1885 the street's oldest inhabitant asked to be allowed to plant the one at the corner (presumably of Horse Fair and High Street), explaining 'I have always thought that was where the original Cross stood ' .6 A grant from the Univenity of Southampton towards the publication of thU paper is gratefully acknowledged.

  • 1861, but That Number Emphasises the Scale and Significance of the Migration of More Than a Hundred Workers in the Other Direction
    1861, but that number emphasises the scale and significance of the migration of more than a hundred workers in the other direction. The census of 1851 reveals the previous homes of some of the more recent migrants to Coventry. Two weavers from Shutford, probably brothers, had moved during the 1850s to houses in the same part of Luckhurst Lane, Foleshill. Thomas Griffin's wife and two-year-old daughter were born at Foleshill, but the couple had apparently returned to Shutford for the birth of a child who was seven months old in April 1861. Henry Griffin and his wife similarly moved from Shutford after their youngest child was born in 1851. Henry Randle, from Bloxham, spent census night in 1851 in the village with his widowed father, a farm labourer, but he and his Bloxham-born wife probably moved to Stoke between 1843 and 1855 since their 26-year-old daughter, by 1861 a silk weaver, was a native of Bloxham, but her brothers, the eldest of whom was 18, had all been born at Stoke. William Jackman, not then married, was living alone in Adderbury in 1851, one of many plush makers of that name in the parish. Another, the James Jackman living in the House in the Hollow on Foleshill Road in 1861, was probably the widower living a few doors from George Herbert in High Street, Banbury, ten years earlier. William Hitchman, of Freeth Street, Coventry, had been living in Calthorpe Street in 1851 when his place of birth was then recorded as King's Sutton, although the Coventry enumerator recorded it as Adderbury.

  • North Cherwell
    North Cherwell CTA (Conservation Target Area) Description: Following the River Cherwell valley, the North Cherwell CTA benefits from a concentration of Floodplain Grazing Marsh and Lowland Meadow priority habitats and is important for notable species, especially breeding Curlew and a good range of other birds and other wildlife typical of these habitats. Lowland Mixed Deciduous Woodland, River, Pond, Reedbed and Hedgerow habitats are also represented. Notable hydrological features include a relatively natural stretch of the River Cherwell below Williamscot, as well as the recently constructed Banbury Flood Relief Scheme (with associated Borrow Pit) and the Oxford Canal. The riparian corridor provided by the River Cherwell provides all important connectivity between the priority habitats north and south of Banbury. The CTA includes one SSSI (Neithrop Fields Cutting). Joint Character Area: NCA 95: Northamptonshire Uplands Landscape Types: River Meadowlands Geology: Bedrock is Charmouth Mudstone Formation (183-199 million years ago in the Jurassic period), overlain with alluvium across the floodplain. Valley sides are Dyrrham Formation – siltstone and mudstone interbedded. Topography: Lowland river valley set in gently rolling countryside. Area of CTA: 692 ha Biodiversity: • Breeding Curlew are of high conservation importance as part of the Upper Thames river valleys population of about 50 pairs - which is one of the three largest surviving lowland populations in England. • Willow Tit have persisted in Grimsbury Woodland, one of the few remaining Oxfordshire sites. • Barn Owl, Skylark, Tree Sparrow, Reed Bunting and Yellow Wagtail breed, mostly within in the northern section. • Grimsbury Reservoir attracts a wide variety of birds over the year, including rare migrants, with 127 species recorded in 2018.
