Monday, 13 May 2013 Dear Parents/Carers, Walk to School Week 2013 - 20th to 24th May This year we are participating in ‘Walk to School Week’ an initiative that takes place as part of National Walking month. Find out more at http://www.livingstreets.org.uk/walk-with-us/walk-to-school/walk- to-school-week At St Aloysius we are pretty good at walking, cycling, scooting and roller blading to school but we’d like to get even better! Of course we all know the health benefits but just imagine North Oxford with less traffic at drop off and collection times! So, during Walk to School Week we shall be encouraging as many families as possible to ditch the car and put their best foot forward. The children will be collecting data on modes of transport and Mrs Kempton, our very own Eco Warrior, has organised a Walking Bus from Cutteslowe taking place on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd May (see over for details). Join her en route…wear your very own reflective jacket (loaned by School)....and enjoy a chance to network with other like-minded parents over coffee and a croissant back at school.

ANNEX 4A – Email Responses
1 ANNEX 4a – Email Responses RESPONDENT VIEW COMMENTS Key Stakeholders/Groups I accept this junction has been closed for a number of weeks due to road maintenance, however any longer- term proposal to restrict vehicular traffic is NOT supported. 1. Emergency response times for ALL Emergency services to this area will increase and detrimental to public Thames Valley Police Object safety. 2. Walton Street is currently a defined Diversion route for Blue light services and other vehicles during closures of St Giles. Alternative Diversions much longer and detrimental in terms of Emergency response to North Oxford. Can see this would be beneficial to the residents of Walton street, I do have some concerns regarding Emergency access. Since the current closure has been in place, we have attended quite a few minor incidents, and the only Fire & Rescue Service, access has been via St Giles and little clarendon street or St Margret’s road for the Hydraulic Platform (due (Rewley Road & Slade Concerns to the size and amount of swing on the vehicle) Park White Watch) Whilst I am not opposed to a temporary traffic closure trial myself, I would personally like the ability to access via a transponder and a bollard or some other mechanism that we could breach? Obviously, a sign would do the same, but would state only emergency vehicles have access. During the current road closures on Walton Street, our appliances have been significantly delayed in attending properties down Walton Street and the surrounding side roads/Port Meadow because of high traffic levels, tight roads for the diversion and the length of time it takes us to get to suitable diversion routes that are listed in the consultation map.

Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

Reading L\1Useum: the More Recent Discoveries Are Housed in a L\-Luseum on the Site, After Examination and Treatment in the Ashmolean L\Luseum
Notes and News ARCHAEOLOGICAL NOTES During the past year the following discoveries have been made in the Oxford district, either by excavation under the auspices of the Ashmolean Museum and of the Oxford University Archaeological Society, or as chance finds:- I. Eynsham (Foxley Farm), Oxon. Gravel-digging revealed a beaker-cemetery of the Early Bronze Age with eleven graves, four of which contained beakers; further finds may be expected. For a previous beaker-interment from here see Antiq. J., XI (1931), 280 f. 2. Long Wittenlzam (Pearith's Farm), Berks. A beaker-burial, Early Bronze Age (see above, p. I), and two unaccompanied skeletons, (?) Romano-British, were found during gravel-digging. 3. Radley (Wick Farm), Berks. 1n Barrow Hills field (Oxollumsia, I, 8 If., fig. I) systematic excavation of the easternmost ring-ditch in the southern line has been con tinued, and has yielded to date: one I central' cremation-burial accompanied by bronze implements and beads; eight eccentric cremation-burials, unaccompanied; two food vessels buried independently and eccentrically; and one cooking-hole. A full publica tion will appear in a future volume of Oxofliensr.·a, when the excavation has been com pleted. 4. Cassingtoll, OXOII. Gravel-digging W. of Cassington village along the line of the Oxford Northern By-pass Road has brought to light several Early Iron Age smelting pits, other Early Iron Age and Romano-British occupation-pits and ditches, and some more Romano-British inhumation-burials, bringing the total number of this cemetery up to 95. Crop-marks in the field on the opposite side of the road, near the river Even lode, seem to mark the site of another and even more extensive prehistoric and Romano British settlement.

2 Polstead Road, Oxford Case Number
Historic England Advice Report 28 October 2016 Case Name: 2 Polstead Road, Oxford Case Number: 1434858 Background Historic England has been asked to assess no.2 Polstead Road in Oxford for listing. Asset(s) under Assessment Facts about the asset(s) can be found in the Annex(es) to this report. Annex List Entry Number Name Heritage Category HE Recommendation 1 1438395 No. 2 Polstead Road Listing Do not add to List Visits Date Visit Type 02 July 2016 Full inspection Context The building stands in the North Oxford Victorian Suburb Conservation Area. There are no listed buildings in the immediate vicinity. Assessment CONSULTATION The applicant, owners, local planning authority (LPA), interested parties and the Historic Environment Record were consulted on the case details. Only observations on the architectural and historic interest of the case are taken into consideration as part of this assessment. The LPA responded at notification with the planning history of the site and re-sent the information at consultation. COMMENT 1: the owners commented that in their view the application was supported by statements or documentation which are either untrue, unauthorised by the owners, dated, incomplete and/or misleading for the purpose of gaining listed status. They agreed that the extent of alterations cited in the details is correct, and further opined that no historic fixtures, fittings, layout or property pertaining to TE Lawrence’s family remains from the time they lived there. Although the owners have been committed for the last 48 years to maintaining the memory of TE Lawrence they do not consider that every building where reputed individuals lived should therefore have special interest.
