Church Roof Appeal
Church Roof Appeal As a reminder last November a large section of lead was stolen from the Church roof. Fortunately our insurers will cover the £20,000 cost of repairs. However there is a £500 excess to pay and there are some further unforeseen costs which may well fall outside the insurance cover. The Appeal's original target of £500 has now been reached but we have now extended the overall target to £1,000. A big thank you to all those in the village who have already supported the Appeal but we are still seeking further donations, even just £10, so as to ensure the inevitable unforeseen costs can be covered. If you would like to contribute towards the repairs please either: Send a donation to:

New Proposal for M40 Junc 11 development – action needed Plans for a development on the M40 Junc 11 have been resubmitted to Cherwell District Council with some differences.

Church Roof Appeal
Wardington Church Roof Appeal In November last year a large section of lead was stolen from the Church roof. Following a similar theft from the roof of the chancel in 2011 various recommendations from our insurers, including the installation of a roof security system, were carried out. We were most grateful then to the many people - over eighty - in the village who contributed to the specific appeal for funds. Fortunately our insurers will cover the £20,000 cost of repairs. However there is a £500 excess to pay and there may be some further unforeseen costs which fall outside the insurance cover which we will not know about until after the work starts in early March. We are therefore appealing for
HS2 – Wardington Presentation 5th December 2018
Attached is a link to the presentation slides used by HS2 at the community briefing held in Wardington Church, 5th December 2018.

This includes the widening of three corners through the village to allow vehicles to pass more easily, the installation of a Puffin crossing for pedestrians to access the bus stop and extending the 30mph limit by incorporating the signs into new village gates.
