13. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST – none

14. MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF 1ST JULY 2014 which had been circulated previously were signed as a correct and accurate record.

15. UPDATE ON MINUTES OF 1ST JULY

i)        Minute 6(i) – Footway around the Roundhouse – the double yellow lines had still not been reinstated.

Tender requests had gone out to 3 companies asking them to tender for the new entrance.

ii)        Minute 6(ii) – Vehicle speed and Volume measurement – expected to take place in September.

iii)        Minute 6(iii) – Use of TVP’s Speed Indicator Device. This had been taken out on a couple of occasions.

iv)        Minute 8 – Land by the old toilet block – Mark Francis (OCC) would produce a plan reshaping the corner so it would be easier for vehicles to reverse out.

16.  TO CONSIDER THE PROBLEM OF SPEEDING VEHICLES IN THE VILLAGE

Cllrs Reilly and Davies would look for possible location for Vehicle Activated Devices.

It was noted that two such devices had been installed in Horspath. They had been funded by Cllr Purses ‘localism’ budget. She reported that the cost was around £4,000 each. The particular road chosen was because of a number of fatal/serious accidents that had taken place over recent years.

17. PEDESTRIAN CROSSING ON LADDER HILL BY THE CO-OP.

Mark Francis (OCC) at the site meeting with councillors, pointed that there was only one location that was possible (outside the bungalow below the co-op) and that could lead to difficulties for mobility scooters and in his view, given the number of entrances, on to Station Road at that point, could lead to more hazards than without a crossing

The suggestion was made that could a crossing be placed at the bottom of Station Road, outside Taylors, where the pavement on both sides of the road was much wider. The clerk to ask Mr Francis for his view.

18.  TO CONSIDER ALTERATIONS TO THE BELL LANE /STATION ROAD JUNCTION

The council is still awaiting Mr Francis’s design for the corner. If the design was approved by the Parish Council then he would do a detailed design and costing.

[This, the outline design, was received the day after the meeting].

19. TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR PEDESTRIANS AT THE PARK HILL/LONDON ROAD PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS

The Chairman and Clerk had written to Anthony Kirkwood (OCC Highways) and Kate Curtis (Headteacher, Wheatley Park School) expressing the Parish Council’s concerns.

Both Biffa and the Sports Centres franchise had been extended to 2014

9.47pm – The Chairman declared the council back in session

34.  TO REPORT ON PROGRESS ON THE PARISH COUNCIL’S APPLICATION TO REGISTER THE LITTLEWORTH ROAD FIELD AS A VILLAGE GREEN

Cllr Birks related the story so far. It was felt that the County Council was being unreasonable in their request for so much information.

FOR: Cllrs Lamont; Davies; Willmott; Stephens; Coveley; Birks; Stacey; Old; Reilly

AGAINST: Cllrs Bell; Carr; Dalton

9.25pm – The Chairman declared the Council out of session to allow County Cllr Anne Purse to make her report.

She urged the Parish Council to attend one of the County Council’s consultation meetings (15th July in Didcot) prior to the Local Transport 4. Spending on roads in the future is likely to come only from development. So smaller villages without development would not receive

funding for traffic relief

Oxford City – Plans to expand had been published. There seemed to be a threat to land in and around Wheatley

36.  TO CONSIDER A RESPONSE TO SODC’S COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE WORKING GROUP

At its meeting on 11 June the Community Governance Working Group agreed to recommend Council extend the boundary of Wheatley parish to align with the A40, incorporating land currently in Holton parish.

The purpose of this email is to seek your councils view regarding possible warding arrangements and parish councillor numbers in the event Council agrees this recommendation.

I would therefore welcome your council’s views on the following:

1. Whether your council would like to see warding arrangements put in place (e.g  current parish as ward and the area between the district ward boundary and the A40 as another ward).

2. Whether your council would be content with the current 14 councillors (Sic) ? The current electorate for Wheatley is 3,209. If Council agrees the above proposal a further 151 electors will be included in the parish of Wheatley. This council has used the National Association of Local Councils recommendations on the numbers of councillors appropriate for parishes of different population sizes during this review. NALC suggest 11 councillors for a population of 3,500.  Using this guidance suggests no increase would be justified

Cllr Birks proposed and Cllr Willmott seconded that the Parish Council does not wish to see any warding arrangements in the Parish and that the Parish Council should remain at 15 councillors.

AGREED unanimously.

37.       TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR PEDESTRIANS AT THE PARK HILL/LONDON ROAD PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS

Cllr Carr expressed great concern about the number of ‘near misses on the zebra crossings at the Park Hill/London Road roundabout. She had arranged a site meeting with the County Councillor and a Traffic Safety Officer from the County Council for the Wednesday afternoon.

16.  CORRESPONDENCE


 


 i) SODC – 4-6 Station Rd – Change of use from office to residential use does not require planning permission but adjoining occupiers should be notified. “As a result of human error” this application was held up with the SODC’s planning registration team and not was noticed until the 56 days consultation period had passed. Therefore the development is able to commence.

I used to have problems with my erection. The erection was either too weak or occurred when not convenient. I listened to a lot of different tips on how to set it up. I’ve tried a lot of things. Thank God, everything got better when I started taking Levitra pills from hhttps://www.moderndaydental.com/procedures/oral-maxillofacial-surgery/levitra-generic/ for https://myimplantsearch.com/erectile-dysfunction/. I took it within 25 minutes before the start of sexual intercourse. I want to say that after taking the pills, I am happy with my erection.


ii) SODC – Ref: P14/S1284/FUL – 7 Leyshon Road – because of the Parish Council’s objection this application is being taken to SODC’s Planning Committee on Wednesday 16th July. The Parish Council needs to send a representative. (the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the council are at another meeting that evening
