Annual Parish Meeting Your Annual Parish Meeting will be held on Thursday 26th April, 7:30pm in Pavilion at the Recreation Ground. Our village is still facing great pressures from speculative development. Please come along, hear the latest updates and give your views.

New Housing Developments SODC's Local Plan is progressing but running into some difficulties. A new 'Oxfordshire Growth Deal' is being progressed that could give Oxfordshire some protection against unplanned development in return for extra houses. The route of the proposed Oxord-Cambridge expressway is still unclear. The planning applications for Road and St Hugh's Rise have not gone to Planning Committee at the time of writing. Catesby's appeal is scheduled for the week of 21st May and Taylor Wimpey have not yet put in a planning application.
