The growth projections (the number of planning applications approved) for Adderbury, Bodicote village, Bodicote Bankside and Bloxham, would result in this option showing the largest increase of electorate of all the wards and as such could place a disproportionate workload on the Councillors concerned. It is the opinion of the Parish Council that the option below best serves the electorate of these Parishes. The option for a ward consisting of Bloxham, Bodicote Village, Milton, Milcombe, Wiggington, South Newington and Hook Norton this reflects the following. The impact and overload of the A361 is of major concern to all villages listed. The Villages share the same school catchment area. Cherwell District Council Local Plan reflects this grouping as Milton, Milcombe and South Newington are classed as satellite villages of Bloxham and Wiggington a satellite of Hook Norton. The villages of Bloxham, Milcombe and South Newington are in the same Beniface. We have shown below that distribution among the remaining Parishes also reflect common aims. 1 6 January 2015 Bloxham Parish Council Submission WARD SUMMARY Name of Ward Councillors Electorate 2014

recommendations Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Categories: In progress From: Valerie Russell Sent: 29 December 2014 10:30 To: Reviews@ Subject: Electoral Review of Cherwell - draft recommendations Dear Ms Ward Re: Electoral Review of Cherwell - draft recommendations We have received the draft recommendations and are delighted to see that Bodicote Parish has been grouped with Adderbury, Bloxham and Milton, in accordance with our wishes. It also appears that your recommendations for the remainder of the district also accord with our suggestion, so we are very happy to support the draft recommendations overall and in particular with respect to Bodicote Parish. Yours sincerely Valerie Russell Clerk to Bodicote Parish Council 1 CAVERSFIELD PARISH COUNCIL Mrs Jane Olds, Parish Clerk The Local Government Boundary Commission for England 3rd Floor Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG 3 February 2015 Dear Sirs, Electoral review of Cherwell: draft recommendations Caversfield Parish Council has asked me to make the following comment on the ward which encompasses Caversfield. Whilst the Parish Council has no comment about the size or make up of the ward, they have requested that the Bicester North Ward be named 'Caversfield and Bicester North'. Caversfield is the only village to be included within the Bicester North Ward and the Parish Council is concerned that the village should not lose its identity. I trust that this information is of help to the consultation. Yours faithfully, Jane Olds KIDLINGTON PARISH COUNCIL Clerk: Mrs Patricia Redpath D.M.A. Lucy Ward Review Officer Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76‐86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG Dear Ms Ward, 21st January 2015 DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS: KIDLINGTON The Parish Council has serious concerns about the draft proposals relating to Kidlington, in particular the very substantial changes proposed to the arrangements for Kidlington Parish Council.
