There will be a temporaryt closure to Southend March 12-15 while new water connection service is connected at post code OX44 9DH
SODC have now published their Local plan for public scrutiny. On 20th Dec the council voted to approve this plan. You can see it at http://democratic.southoxon.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=124&MId=2275. This plan now includes a site at Northfield, including Northfield Farm up to the brook, as well as Grenoble Road near the stadium. 1800 houses are planned for the Northfield site alone. If you think that Garsington has 700 houses this is more than twice that. Elm Drive for example including Birch Road, and Hazel End has 250 houses. So just down the road from this would be more than 6 times that many houses. The scrutiny period runs from 7th January until 20th February so we need to be responding as soon after that as possible. Responses that have been written previouly will not be considered.
Ramblers poster for walks in new year. Two in February start in Wheatley and Garsington.
Christmas Bin Collection dates.
We would love to see you at the next South and Vale Voluntary and Community Sector Forum, being held on Wednesday 13 March 2019 at Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot. Please save the date!
An appeal for an increase to the council tax to protect policing has been lauched. See here for details.
Appeal for volunteer deliverers. As a result of the various threats coming along for our village - Oxford Cambridge Expressway, various large housing developments, we are likely to need volunteers to deliver flyers for village meetings, appeals to write protesting letters etc. If you feel able to volunteer to deliver anything from 10-50 leaflets, on an occasional basis, however infrequent, we will be able to avoid overly depending on the generosity of our regular newsletter distributors. Please email me (Judy Westgate - judithwestgate@btinternet.com) or drop a note into my house at 71 Wheatley Road, Garsington. I need at least a phone number and an address to contact you on.

Garsington is a village in Oxfordshire, some 5 miles south east of Oxford. It is a village of hills and narrow roads. The ground rises from 200 feet at the foot of the hill to 431 feet at the highest point of the ridge. We have magnificent views in all directions, the Chilterns to the east, Oxford to the west and the Berkshire Downs with Wittenham Clumps to the south.
The village is home to over 2,000 people, and has a local shop and newsagent. It has a pub, car repair centre, hairdressers and a garden centre. The pub, The Three Horseshoes serves food daily. There is also a local Church of England primary school that performs well in SATs. We have a fine Memorial Playing Field with a Sports and Social Club, and a recently renovated village hall, both available for functions.
Our South Oxfordshire district councillor is Elizabeth Gillespie and on Oxfordshire County Council our interests are represented by Lorraine Lindsey-Gayle. Our Member of Parliament is John Howells, successor to Boris Johnson, who moved on to become mayor of London, and is now also a member of parliament for Uxbridge and south Ruislip.
