Help keep our village’s roads and pavements in great shape. Oxfordshire County Council is looking for FixMyStreet SuperUsers – local volunteers who act as the eyes and ears for Highways by spotting potholes, damaged pavements, blocked drains and other small defects.
You’ll receive full training, simple tools, and ongoing support. Using FixMyStreet, you can raise minor work orders yourself and flag anything more serious to the Highways team. It’s flexible, practical, and makes a real difference to your community.
If you care about your local streets and can spare a little time every few weeks, this is a brilliant way to get involved. Let’s keep our roads safe, tidy and well‑maintained together.

The Parish Council was concerned to read about the Government’s decision to designate Cherwell District Council under Section 62A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 on 15 June 2026.
This means that developers of major planning applications may now choose to submit their applications directly to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) instead of Cherwell District Council.
A briefing note has been written to help explain the implications.
The Council welcomed Calum Miller MP’s letter to the Minister of State for Housing and Planning at MHCLG which he posted on his Facebook page
