Wardington Village Cinema – Far from the Madding Crowd – Friday 16th October

Yes that's right - Wardington Village Cinema is showing another fantastic film! This time we are screening The recently released "Far from the Madding Crowd" on Friday 16th October at 8pm. Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd is the story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching willfulness; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor. This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions explores the nature of relationships and love – as well as the human ability to overcome hardships through resilience

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

A reminder that there is a community meeting TOMORROW EVENING, Tuesday 19th May, at 7:30pm in the Memorial Hall, to discuss the very serious environmental implications of HS2, including the huge volume of construction traffic anticipated on the A361. This meeting is intended for residents of Wardington, Williamscot and Coton to listen to the Parish Council's plans and to voice their own opinions. There will be follow-up meetings with members of Oxordshire CC, your local MP Victoria Prentis and others in authority. It is vital that as many as possible attend tomorrow evening. We need to be of one mind and mobilised as a community to ensure the best outcome.
