A Message from Thames Valley Police and Cherwell District Council

TARGETING SUMMERTIME ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR Cherwell District Council and Thames Valley Police have joined forces over the summer to combat noise complaints and antisocial behaviour through Operation Jazz. Operation Jazz swings into action every Friday and Saturday night from 9pm to 3am until 12 September. A key focus for Operation Jazz will be to target known gathering spots for underage drinking, street drinking and house parties. "Over the years we have seen a rise in underage parties, with or without an adult present.

Hunt for Sewage Pumping Stations

Thames Water is appealing to customers to help identify privately owned sewage pumping stations. Thames Water will take responsibility for around 4,000 pumping in October 2016, but needs to track down 1,800 currently off its radar.

Customers will know they have one as they’ll be paying to maintain and power them. Jerry White, of
