We recently announced some measures aimed making district council car parks in the Vale of White Horse more sustainable to manage. We can now confirm that we’ll be introducing these changes on Monday 4 April.
*except for Southampton Street car park in Faringdon, which will continue to offer two hours free parking a day. Faringdon’s main supermarket is out of town so we hope that by offering two hours free in this town centre car park we will continue to encourage people to support local trade. To ensure people know that the changes are coming, from today we’ll be carrying out a public awareness campaign. This will include information via the local press and our usual communication channels to parishes, residents and businesses. Special notices will go up in our car parks around two weeks before the changes are introduced. We’ll also be running messages on our social media channels - so please do help us spread the word to residents throughout the district. We’ve also put together this information<http://www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk/parkingchanges> to help explain what’s happening. We have also prepared some posters, should you wish to print them off to display on public noticeboards.
Many thanks Communications South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils 01235 422400 www.southoxon.gov.uk<http://www.southoxon.gov.uk> @southoxon<http://twitter.com/southoxon> www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk<http://www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk> @whitehorsedc<http://twitter.com/whitehorsedc> We are pleased to be able to reopen the Reading Room after a very difficult time. While it has been closed, we have carried out extensive repairs to the building following a major water leak, the effects of the subsidence to the south wall have been repaired and we have installed a replacement boiler. There have also been substantial improvements to the kitchen, new storage cabinets built in the main hall and repairs completed to the toilet facilities and to the fire escape. The Council wishes to acknowledge and thank Richard May for his hard work and carpentry skills in achieving a lot of this repair and renovation work.
As part of reopening, the Trustees have renewed the risk assessments and carried out a review of our insurance policy. To comply with the requirements of our insurance and the terms of our risk assessment, all users must now please book their use using a booking form available online or from [email protected]. This will enable us to demonstrate that we have provided users with appropriate information for their safe and proper use of the Room and that they have agreed to those conditions. Insurance is not automatically in place for regular users of the Room, so please discuss this with us before arranging such events. We have also reviewed and updated the hiring fees. In the interests of simplicity, fairness and transparency, all events will now be charged by the hour with a refundable cleaning deposit required for some events. The charges will apply to all users to enable the Reading Room to cover some of its costs, however, it is not our intention for the Reading Room to be fully funded through the hire fees and it will continue to receive financial support from the Council. Our intention in setting the fees was to try to make the Reading Room as accessible to all village users as possible and the prices have been maintained very close to the those set in 2005. Events run for community fundraising or community benefit, can apply to the Council to fund the hire of the room for such purposes, for example the weekly Drop-in. Higher hourly charges will be applied for non-parishioner use. The charges are shown on the Reading Room page. We understand that it has been inconvenient not having the Reading Room available and hope that it can now be used as much as possible. Great Coxwell Parish Council 26th October 2021 Garden Waste
The garden waste service will return to its normal fortnightly collections from next week. The normal garden waste collection schedule in Vale will resume on 25 October and so from that day onwards, customers can put their brown garden waste bins out on their normal collection day in their recycling week every fortnight. As mentioned last month, to make up for the disruption to the service we are extending customers' current subscription to the service by three months. The councils are emailing and writing to their garden waste customers this week letting them know the good news. Vale garden waste customers will also benefit from the scheduled Extra Garden Waste Week next month (week commencing 8 November) when customers are entitled to put out one extra bin's worth of garden waste that week. There is more information at: whitehorsedc.gov.uk/gardenwaste White Horse Community Lottery The White Horse Community Lottery had its first draw on Saturday 18 September, with many supporters winning a variety of prizes including £25 to 3 extra tickets. In the first draw, one good cause had multiple winners. In addition to this, players of the first five tickets drawn have won £100 to donate to a good cause of their choice. Since the launch, many good causes have joined the White Horse Community Lottery and can now benefit from vital unrestricted funds and players can support the causes they care about the most. It’s predicted that over the next year, the lottery will raise just over £30,000 for good causes in the district. Please spread the word to good causes in your area and encourage local voluntary groups and charities to register. For more information please visit whitehorsedc.gov.uk/communitylottery.
