Poppy Collection

I  am having to retire from the Poppy Collection and would like to hear from anyone willing to take over. The collection in Chacombe has been taken over by Middleton Cheney and so our area is now only Wardington and Williamscote. If we do not manage to find anyone then our collection will be taken over by Middleton Cheney. I am sure this would be as disappointing to you as it would be for me after 32 years as Local Organiser. I have the order forms for this year’s collection and would be: more than happy to assist with its completion, together with any other help required.  It is not a very demanding job, and very rewarding. Please give it

Objection to Application No. 19/00128/HYBRID

Wardington Parish Council has already objected to the above application. In summary our objections to the proposed development are: It does not conform with the stated aims for ‘Banbury 15’ in the CDC Local Plan It will increase traffic volumes and congestion well beyond that envisaged in the CDC Local Plan for the site. This will put more pressure on M40 Junction 11, the A361 in both directions, roads in and out of Banbury and villages to the north in Oxfordshire and South Northants. As a result Wardington Parish Council continues to object strongly to the Application. Should it be approved, we want mitigating measures for Wardington, Williamscot and Coton imposed on the developer and the relevant authorities as conditions
