At about midnight on a date between 13th and 23rd February, a resident in Cherry Orchard heard shots in the field adjacent to Gypsy Lane, and noticed that two unknown cars were parked at the bottom of the Lane near the road. Please contact us if you have any further information, so that the police can be notified.

The Vale of White Horse District Council has now agreed to host six refugee families (as part of the government-approved programme of bringing refugees straight from the camps) over the next five years, so the search has begun for accommodation, as Faringdon Council had already agreed to host several families. Although accommodation in Great Coxwell would probably be too rural and isolated for vulnerable refugees, perhaps someone in the parish owns an appropriate property, or knows of someone who does? Click here for more information.
It has been decided to celebrate this with a Great Coxwell village street party, running from the Reading Room to The Laurels, on Saturday 11th June from 3pm. This will mean closing the road at the post box between 1-6pm. We will use the money raised during artweeks in the Cafe Coxwell to fund it. Ticket prices will be £2.50 for an adult and £6 for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2-3 children). If you would like to help please be in touch. We hope you will ALL come.

You may have heard that the National Trust put in a planning application to turn Badbury Clump into a national cycling hub, attracting large numbers of visitors, large numbers of fast moving bikes and involving a huge amount of excavations to create the new cycle paths and foot paths. A group, Badbury Hill Group, have got together and met the NT to express their concerns. Great Coxwell Parish Council are part of the group. We would like to know the thoughts of the villagers. If you want to see the group's full presentation to the Trust click here. You can also still see the application on the Vale of White Horse District Council planning site - the reference is P15/V2572/FUL. Please email any comments to - [email protected]
