Campaign for Village Asset status – The Old Horse Pond (opposite Chapel Cottages)

In the Wardington Parish Community Led Plan, published in 2015, there is mention on page 5 of proposed plans to develop, do improvement works to, and provide a bench at The Old Horse Pond, opposite Chapel Cottages, in order that it may be enjoyed by villagers. Earlier this year a fence was erected in front of the pond thereby including it within private property, and effectively removing access to it from the general public, meaning the above plans can not be enacted. We intend to bring this matter up at the forthcoming AGM of the Parish Council on 24th May 2016, albeit the Parish Council are already aware of the matter and have previously requested the fence be removed.

Call My Wine Bluff 2016 – Sat 7th May.

The Friends of St Mary Magdalene are delighted to be arranging another evening of "Call My Wine Bluff"on Saturday 7th May 2016 at Wardington Memorial Hall. The evening is lighthearted and fun and involves tasting six different wines. Each wine is described by three "experts", two of whom are bluffing, and it's up to you to decide which expert (bluffer) is telling the truth.  You will form into teams of six and it's a great opportunity to meet new people, have fun with old friends and have a few glasses of wine. The tasting is followed by a delicious, home-cooked supper of Cottage Pie followed by cheese, with house red and white wine available to buy by the bottle. The

The Plough pub – planning application

Further to the flyer that you may or may not have received through your door today informing you of a planning application to convert The Plough in Upper Wardington to residential use, the quoted planning application reference number is incorrect. The correct reference is 16/00367/F. Details can be found here: http://www.publicaccess.cherwell.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=O33II0EMH5300. I am posting this purely to correct an error. I have no idea who printed or distributed the flyer and I am not passing an opinion either way about the application.
