There are 3 scate parks around Oxford: http://www.oxford.gov.uk/PageRender/decLP/Skate_Parks_occw.htm
There is one in Abingdon: http://www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk/leisure_and_arts/skatepark/default.asp

I hope when looking at the Abingdon link of how much the skate park cost to construct: £122k

Get on your skates and visit these excellent facilities. Too far to go? Then your not committed enough for any local investment to be considered.

As the Parish Clerk says in his reply of 14th February, complaints about the state of the roads in Wootton and elsewhere in the Parish need to be addressed to Oxfordshire Highways at the County Council. I am sure that your complaint to the District Council will have been passed on to the County Council and I know that as a Parish Council we are putting as much pressure as we can on the County Council to carry out the repairs in Mathews Way, Old Boars Hill and other roads badly affected in our Parish.

As Parish and District Councillors we do all that we can to get the repairs carried out but the more complaints that come from individual residents the more likely the County Council is to do something about the state of the roads.

My additional concern is that even when the repairs are done the quality of the work is poor.

I can now report that at the Oxfordshire PCT's AGM that Councillor Anthony Gearing received (so far only verbal) confirmation that there would be no replacement of doctors at Botley surgery. Many thanks to everyone who took the time and trouble to write to or call the PCT on this matter. The response was overwhelming!

Like Most People who Visit this Practice as I have for Many Years, and have a Rapport with Dr Blazewicz and Dr Chadwick and to Learn this Morning that these will soon be Replaced with Doctors from this so Called Oxfordshire PCT. Whom no Nothing about us, only Reading Notes from Computers it's just not Good Practce if you Excuse the Pun! I for One will not be Travelling to Any Other Practice and I Urge Fellow Patients to get in Touch with the Relevent Authorities and Voice your Concerns.

The Post Office has written to the Parish Council formally confirming that the Sandleigh Branch will re-open at the Co-operative Store, 1-3 Besselsleigh Road in the near future. The branch will provide the same range of services as the previous Post Office and will open Mondays to Friday from 9am to 5.30pm and on Saturdays 9am until 12.30pm

Yes, but what about John Bookseller? Surely we want to encourage businesses into the village? The proprietor has worked hard to contribute to village life since joining our community and has been most generous in his contributions to our events. We certainly do need a Post Office - but what about One Stop taking this on?
