The Parish Council is very pleased to announce that the village is now a 20mph zone.
We should be grateful if this speed could be respected.
Goods Vehicle Operator’s Licence for Wendlebury Park Farm
The Parish Council has been made aware (as a result of a diligent villager), of an application made by Aaron of Oxford Ltd to use Wendlebury Park Farm as an operating centre for 7 goods vehicles and trailers.
The closing date for comments and objections is 29 June 2019 and these must be made in writing (not email) to The Office of the Traffic Commissioner, Central Licensing Office, Hillcrest House,
386 Harehills Lane, Leeds, LS9 6NF. The notice below gives information about how comments can be made.
Although the application was spotted in the Lancashire Telegraph, the Parish Council has since been informed that it was advertised in the Bicester Advertiser on 30 May (updated information 11 July).
The reference for the application is SW4377990 and this must be included.
The Commissioners require you to indicate the location, and we have attached a map to help.
Unfortunately Parish Councils are not allowed to make any objection, but representation to both Cherwell and OCC Highways expressing concerns has been made. The Parish Council, will, however, be objecting to the initial advertisement.
If you need any help, please contact the Clerk or one of the Parish Councillors.

There isn’t much time though – nominations must be submitted to Cherwell District Council by 4pm on Wednesday 3 April.
A41 Works Update
Unfortunately there are still some works to complete which will need to be undertaken under a further lane closure in due course.
These are:
- Replacement sign on the Vendee Drive Roundabout
- Up-righting of the sign on the central reservation on exit from roundabout south bound
- Further cleaning of signs on southbound carriageway
- Bus stop marking refurbishment (weather and obstruction issues whilst previous lane closure was in place)
- Top-soiling to bollarded off area
- A bit more work to resolve the non shutting gate to the churchyard.
