Full Council Meetings are held at The Oxford Academy, Sandy Lane West from 7-9pm on the 2nd Tuesday each month except August. The main gate, and the Long Lane and Northfield Close entrances are all open for the duration of the meeting to enable easy public access. Please ask for further directions at main reception. Meetings are for the Council to conduct its business in an atmosphere conducive to working: members of the public are permitted to watch and listen to proceedings. Residents are allowed to speak at the start of the meeting by prior arrangement with the Clerk. WHERE IS LITTLEMORE?

Littlemore is a community of several distinct areas, created by the presence of the ring road, the railway, The Oxford Academy, Littlemore Brook, and the Hospital.

You may prefer to read the longer electronic issue of LITTLEMORE LOCAL online, but the Parish Council still wishes to deliver a copy of the 4-page print issue to every home. This is because part of its purpose is to unify Littlemore, and to encourage residents to experience it as one community, and many of our residents don’t use the internet.

The Community is growing and we need more volunteers! The print issue is available for delivery 6 times a year during the last week of January, March, May, July, September & November, ready for the start of the next month, so it’s an infrequent but predictable task. You can do as much or as little as you wish. If you don’t feel able to do it regularly, please join the emergency back-up list. Please contact Cllr Sue Stewart on 01865 711 332 [email protected].
