Support from Victoria Prentis MP

I have just received the following email from Victoria Prentis MP: Dear Mr Steven, Thank you very much for your email raising concern over HS2, and specifically the potential impact on Wardington. I’ve been an opponent of HS2 since the day it was announced by the last Labour Government. I have been a Director of Transport Sense, an organisation that fights against the plans. I do not think the business case has been made. I believe that if built, the line will destroy communities. The construction works would have a severe adverse effect across great swathes of the constituency, including the centre of Banbury where the additional traffic would create a logjam. I feel there are better ways of spending

Dog fouling of the sports field

Please be reminded that the Sports Field is privately owned and the use of it is currently for the benefit and enjoyment of villagers, kindly given previously by Lord and Lady Wardington and currently by the family members who are the owners. Dog fouling is now a very serious issue and a health hazard within the sports field. Most responsible dog owners clean up after pets who have fouled and dispose of it appropriately e.g. in the Dog Bin provided by the council at the entrance to the field at Corner Mount. Some others do not. PLEASE respect and enjoy this generously donated facility and ensure that whoever takes your dog out, cleans up the mess and disposes of it
