Village defibrillator
I was wondering if anyone in the village is interested in setting up a group to consider raising money to get a defibrillator for the village? This might include a course for learning how to use it (which would take about 20 minutes) and training up as many people as possible in first aid. Please email all expressions of interest to John Rourke of Taylor's Cottage jrssne@yahoo.com

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.

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. New legislation means sewage pumping stations, which power wastewater away from properties and out into the public sewer pipe network, currently owned and maintained by customers will become legally owned and operated by the local water company.

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