Think again – shared ownership can make that dream a reality. Shared ownership is a scheme that allows you to buy a share of your property, usually between 40% and 75%, and pay subsidised rent on the rest. It’s a great way to get on the property ladder and often proves to be more affordable than renting. There are certain criteria that you need to match to be eligible for shared ownership so to get all the details please go to bromford. co.uk/buyahome to find out more.

  • Banbury and Bicester College
    Sharing Innovative Approaches to Delivering 16-19 Study Programme Principles Banbury and Bicester College Enterprise and Employability “At the heart of our model for Study Programmes is the development of employability skills through the learning company concept.” Rose Turner, Principal Banbury and Bicester College is part of Activate Learning1, a group which combines secondary, further and higher education along with workforce training, commercial business and social enterprise. The Activate Learning group was formed in September 2013, following the merger of Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, and Reading College in 2010. The group comprises Banbury and Bicester College, City of Oxford College, Reading College and Activate Enterprise. Activate Learning has a chief executive officer; each college has a principal and Activate Enterprise a director. In 2012/13 the three colleges recruited around 14,500 learners, two thirds of whom were adults on part-time courses. Most learners, currently, are on foundation and intermediate programmes and the group have around 1,800 apprentices in five subject areas. Oxfordshire and Berkshire are affluent counties with rates of unemployment below national averages. However, across both counties, there are areas of educational and social deprivation and the profile of learners attending the colleges reflects this. GCSE attainment in local secondary schools is broadly at, or just below, national averages, and many learners come to study and train at the colleges with attainment below national averages. The proportion of the population of Oxfordshire and Berkshire from minority ethnic backgrounds varies from around 25% in Reading to below 5% in Banbury and Bicester. However, the proportion of learners from minority ethnic backgrounds in the colleges matches or exceeds these local proportions.

  • Cropredy Bridge by MISS M
    Cropredy Bridge By MISS M. R. TOYNBEE and J. J. LEEMING I IE bridge over the River Chenveff at Cropredy was rebuilt by the Oxford­ shire County Council in J937. The structure standing at that time was for T the most part comparatively modern, for the bridge, as will be explained later, has been thoroughly altered and reconstructed at least twice (in J780 and 1886) within the last 160 years. The historical associations of the bridge, especiaffy during the Civil War period, have rendered it famous, and an object of pilgrimage, and it seems there­ fore suitable, on the occasion of its reconstruction, to collect together such details as are known about its origin and history, and to add to them a short account of the Civil War battle of 1644, the historical occurrence for which the site is chiefly famous. The general history of the bridge, and the account of the battle, have been written by Miss Toynbee; the account of the 1937 reconstruction is by Mr. Leeming, who, as engineer on the staff of the Oxfordshire County Council, was in charge of the work. HISTORY OF TIlE BRIDGE' The first record of the existence of a bridge at Cropredy dates, so far as it has been possible to discover, from the year 1312. That there was a bridge in existence before 1312 appears to be pretty certain. Cropredy was a place of some importance in the :\1iddle Ages. It formed part of the possessions of the See of Lincoln, and is entered in Domesday Book as such. 'The Bishop of Lincoln holds Cropelie.

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.

  • Response to Cherwell Local Plan Partial Review Submission
    Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 1): Partial Review - Oxford's Unmet Housing Need Proposed Submission Representation Form B – Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council Response Part B Forms Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council : Response to Cherwell Local Plan Partial Review Submission This document sets out our response to the various policies and sections of the Submission Plan and supporting documents. This follows consultation with our parishioners. In response to Question 3 we have no specific comment to make at this time as to whether the Plan is legally and procedurally compliant or is compliant with the duty to cooperate. Our view is that the Plan and supporting documents are not sound in respect of being positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. Our response below sets out for each part of the Plan our reasons and the changes requested. Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 1): Partial Review - Oxford's Unmet Housing Need Proposed Submission Representation Form B – Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council Response Oxford’s Unmet Needs Paras 1.22 -1.33 Reasons We note that the Oxford Growth Board as reported in para. 1.28 of the Submission states: “The Board should note that the working assumption of 15,000 is a working figure to be used by the programme as a benchmark for assessing the spatial options for growth and is not an agreed figure for the true amount of unmet need” This raises two key points. One is that this is the 4400 figure is a working assumption to be tested.

    Oxfordshire Local Transport Plan LTP3 2011-2030 Updated May 2014 _____________________________________________________________________ 15. Banbury Area Strategy The Local Context 15.1 Banbury is a thriving historic market town and serves as retail, commercial and employment centre for a wide catchment. Located 25 miles north of Oxford, it is the largest town in the Cherwell district with a population of around 45,000. It has a diverse economy which is focused on manufacturing, logistics and distribution, and services. The historic Banbury Cross, together with the Oxford Canal and Castle Quay Shopping Centre, make for great leisure and retail attractions. 15.2 The aim in Banbury is to strengthen the town centre by boosting its vitality and quality through regeneration and strengthening commercial and retail activities, while safeguarding its historical character. 15.3 The Cherwell Local Plan anticipates that the town will continue to grow and become a larger and more important economic and social focus for its residents, businesses and surrounding area. By 2031 the town is planned to have a further approximately 2,500 new homes. It will establish a more diverse economy and new employment areas. The Banbury Masterplan aspires to raise the quality and rejuvenate parts of the town centre with a focus on developing shopping, leisure and night time economy activities. 15.4 The Masterplan promotes the expansion of the town centre through a new retail development on the junction of Calthorpe Street and Marlborough Road, as well as an extension of the Castle Quay Shopping Centre, which will include more leisure, dining and entertainment uses. In addition, the plan sets out proposals for residential and office developments, including Bolton Road and the revival of the area linking St Mary’s Church to the town centre.
