Police and Crime Commissioner survey.

Police and Crime Commissioner survey - seeking views on policing and crime. Hello The Police and Crime Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld has launched a survey seeking feedback from residents of the Thames Valley on policing and crime.  The results of the survey will help inform the next Police and Crime Plan which is due to be published in March 2017. The survey will give the residents of your Parish the opportunity to feedback any concerns or issues about policing as well as what they think Thames Valley Police should be prioritising for the next five years with regards to crime and I am writing to ask whether you would be able to support us in publicising the survey to your community.

The Plough pub – planning application

Further to the flyer that you may or may not have received through your door today informing you of a planning application to convert The Plough in Upper Wardington to residential use, the quoted planning application reference number is incorrect. The correct reference is 16/00367/F. Details can be found here: http://www.publicaccess.cherwell.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=O33II0EMH5300. I am posting this purely to correct an error. I have no idea who printed or distributed the flyer and I am not passing an opinion either way about the application.
