Mr Richard Watson, Countryside Manager, West Oxfordshire for the National Trust, will attend the next Annual Parish meeting to discuss what can be done about dog waste around the Tithe Barn and to update the village on the Trust’s tree planting plans for Great Coxwell.

This will be an excellent opportunity to discuss issues with the National Trust. If you would like to attend this Zoom meeting, please write to Jo King, the Parish Clerk, at [email protected] for the link to the meeting.

Thank you.

Have you got your census letter?

10/3/2021

Data will help provide future services for your area

Households across Oxfordshire are being asked to take part in Census 2021, a national survey that takes place once every ten years.

Census day is on March 21, but households will now be receiving letters with online codes explaining how they can complete their forms. If you don’t get one in the next week, or need some more help or information, please visit census.gov.uk or call the census contact centre on 0800 141 2021.

Residents can also request a paper questionnaire if they would prefer to complete their census that way.

The census provides the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales. It has been carried out every decade since 1801, apart from 1941.

One of the many things census data is used for is to help local councils underpin funding bids for community programmes such as the Families Active, Sporting Together (FAST) programme in Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington.

The FAST programme is aimed at making it easier and accessible for families to enjoy physical activity and sport together. This four-year programme is funded from a Sport England grant together with a range of partnership funding.

Meanwhile, information from the last census in 2011 helped the county council to better understand local communities in Banbury and develop the Brighter Futures programme, which improves access to education, financial inclusion and health services and increases employment opportunities.

Local census support centres will be open while the census is happening. Staff will offer help for people not confident online, who don’t have a computer or need help completing on paper.

It is an offence to supply false information or to not complete the census, and residents could be fined up to £1,000. Some questions are clearly labelled as voluntary. It is not an offence if people do not answer these.

There is a tidy up underway at the Reading Room - is this Double Deck Display yours? If so please email me to let me know and we can arrange for it to be reunited with its owner.

The Reading Room

25/2/2021

After many years of ups and mostly downs, our insurers have, with the aid of 7 months of level monitoring, decided that the kitchen wing has ceased to break away from the main building.

A contractor has been appointed and repairs are scheduled to start w/c 15th March*, this will be followed by decorators in W/C 2nd April.

This will allow the Reading Room to be ready as a polling station on the 6th May and allow plenty of time to spring clean before, hopefully, we can then return rejuvenated to our Parish Hall.

Please be aware that there are likely to be some hold ups in the road as scaffolding and other plant is delivered and removed to the Reading Room.

Since COVID has hit, we have been unable to meet as villagers and it will be great to get together to celebrate our village and welcome the many newcomers.

My heartfelt thanks to the Great Coxwell Support Group for all their efforts during this crisis.

Richard May
