Matters arising   There were none

District Councillor's report
J Stimson apologised for being unable to attend the previous month's AGM and enquired whether there had been any further developments or complaints regarding the extra traffic generated by the stadium. None had been reported.
There was some progress on the Park Homes site in that model standards were now in force and the new conditions had not been opposed. There was still some ongoing problem with the drainage and water supply.
Due to the changes in the new code of conduct ward members who were also on the planning committee could no longer represent local views on the committee.
Refuse and recycling was still being debated though it seemed likely that some form of wheelie bin would be distributed.
There had been a meeting on the new local plan which had been accepted, the parish council would receive a copy as soon as it was available, additional copies would be £60 each. M Inston asked whether a recent report on the new local plan published in the local paper was accurate and J Stimson said it was.
There was some discussion with parishioners regarding the outline planning permission put in for 15 Henley Rd. and J Stimson advised that in regard to the application the parish council and interested parties could attend the meeting, if the application got that far, and could speak - 5 min for parish council and 5 min. total for interested parties. The proposal might not get that far if in the opinion of the planning officers it contravened guidelines. In any case the parish council supported local residents in their strong opposition to the proposal and would reply to SODC in that light. J Stimson offered his guidance if required in matters of bureaucratic procedure.

Matters for consideration

	Traffic - There had been no recent complaints.
	Jubilee sign and garden, time capsule - Clerk had sent brief specification and request for quotation to two landscapers who had expressed an interest but so far has had no reply. Clerk would check on progress. J Smithson had found a company who manufactured 'time capsules' for £245 + VAT. There seemed to be procedures to be followed to ensure the survival of enclosed material. M Norton thought maybe a sealed glass vessel would do as well. A parishioner reported that a capsule had recently been interred at the Four Pillars. There was a debate as to content, M D'Arcy thought it would be a good idea for local schoolchildren to be involved and M Inston proposed that material should contain written historical records, reminiscences etc. collated from already existing sources. Someone would have to collate this, ideally not from the parish council, but an interested parishioner/group. It was proposed that an appeal be put in the Link (being compiled now) saying - 'Time Capsule.' Suggestions and ideas for a Sandford on Thames time capsule

	are requested by the parish council. Please telephone Nigel Northcott 773569 or Liz Shatford 772598 if you are interested and/or can offer help or ideas.
	Buses - Ms S Usher had been communicating with various officials regarding the infrequency of buses in Sandford and had some success. Clerk had also written in support. A letter has been sent to the clerk from OCC Environmental services stating that a new evening circular service running between city centre, Littlemore Hospital, Sandford, science park, and Greater Leys between the hours of 8.00pm and 11.00pm would start on 7 July. Details to follow. There was a possibility of an increased frequency of the 105 service but no likelihood of a Sunday service yet.
	Litter bins - Mr Davies from SODC had inspected the positions suggested for litter bins and bins would be placed as soon as possible. He pointed out that the number and position of bins was actually a matter for the District Council though they were happy to co-operate with the parish where possible.
