We’re sitting indoors while the first autumn storms blow and rain pours outside the house, wondering what to do with yet another bag of Lapples falling from the tree, while we have to sort out articles about Christmas events … not a snowflake or reindeer in sight to get us in the mood! Our local Christmas begins on 30th November, when we have the internationally renowned (well, I know someone in Australia who heard about it) United Charities Christmas Bazaar. This is Father Christmas’s first public appearance in Wallingford each year. It’s a typically Wallingford event, run by volunteers to benefit many of our smaller charities in the town and taking place in the Town Hall at no charge as our Mayor, Councillor Bernard Stone, has agreed that it is ‘for the benefit or the inhabitants’. Why not go along, browse the stalls and then have a cup of tea or coffee and some cake in support of our Emergency Food Bank? That same afternoon, you can go to the Methodist Advent Fair and then on Sunday 1st December we’ve got the fantastic extravaganza that is the Christmas Festival, complete with more charity stalls in the Regal. You may, by then, have bought all your cards from the Cards for Good Causes shop which will be back in St Mary’s Street from 1st Novmber. If you haven’t got all your presents sorted out by the end of that lot, and aren’t thoroughly into the Christmas spirit, you won’t have been paying attention … Lynda Atkins 839120 Editor [email protected] Getting Back in Touch e’ve been contacted by Troy Norris, who is trying to find his wife’s long-lost sister.

The Government has published a guide which can be accessed at this website: www.gov.uk/government/publications/youve-got- the-power-a-quick-and-simple-guide-to-community- rights It’s described as quick and simple, and as it runs to just 23 pages it is a model of brevity compared to many documents produced by civil servants. There’s concise guidance on the options that might be available in different sets of circumstances and then advice on what each process will involve as well as examples of how each of the powers has been used by a different community. It’s well worth a look. This has been a busy month in politics. The major parties have all had their conferences and Parliament has returned for the autumn. With all the issues that have arisen and the policies that have been discussed in recent weeks, it’s no surprise that my mailbag has also been keeping me busy.

  • Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K
    Walking back in Time: Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K. J. Kirby . Summary The diaries of Charles Elton, a father of community ecology, give details of over 300 visits in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire between 1940 and 1965 (excluding those made to Wytham Woods near Oxford that are reported separately). The entries illustrate the changes that took place in the countryside in the post-war period; the idiosyncrasies of protected site selection at that time; and some of the management challenges that had to be overcome. Though inevitably a partial record they provide insights relevant to modern conservation. Modern conservationists should ensure that at least the equivalent record is passed on to future generations. Introduction Charles S. Elton, FRS, CBE (1900-1991) was one of the fathers of community ecology (Elton 1966) and the first editor of the Journal of Animal Ecology. He created and directed the Bureau of Animal Population from 1932 until his retirement in 1965 (Crowcroft 1991). The Bureau was absorbed into the Department of Zoology and Elton continued to have an office there for some years after his retirement. He was also a key figure in the early years of the Nature Conservancy which was set up in 1949, the forerunner of Natural England and the other statutory conservation agencies, and was involved in discussions on which sites should be become reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Figure 1. Elton (in the middle, holding nets) with students in the 1950s. Elton lived in north Oxford and there is a commemoration plaque in the pavement in Park Town.

    East Hagbourne Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2033 A report to South Oxfordshire District Council on the East Hagbourne Neighbourhood Development Plan Andrew Ashcroft Independent Examiner BA (Hons) MA, DMS, MRTPI Director – Andrew Ashcroft Planning Limited Executive Summary 1 I was appointed by South Oxfordshire District Council in November 2018 to carry out the independent examination of the East Hagbourne Neighbourhood Plan. 2 The examination was undertaken by way of written representations. I visited the neighbourhood plan area on 22 November 2018. 3 The Plan includes a variety of policies and seeks to bring forward positive and sustainable development in the neighbourhood area. There is a very clear focus on safeguarding the separation between the village and Didcot to the north. It also promotes a housing allocation. 4 The Plan has been underpinned by community support and engagement. It is clear that all sections of the community have been engaged in its preparation. 5 Subject to a series of recommended modifications set out in this report I have concluded that the East Hagbourne Neighbourhood Plan meets all the necessary legal requirements and should proceed to referendum. 6 I recommend that the referendum should be held within the neighbourhood area. Andrew Ashcroft Independent Examiner 11 January 2019 1 1 Introduction 1.1 This report sets out the findings of the independent examination of the East Hagbourne Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2033 (the Plan). 1.2 The Plan has been submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) by East Hagbourne Parish Council in its capacity as the qualifying body responsible for preparing the neighbourhood plan.
