Approve and sign Minutes   (previously distributed) Prop. H Hutton, sec. P Tuson

Matters arising
There was still no progress on traffic calming, N Northcott had recently emailed R Dix of County Council requesting news but had no reply as yet. Clerk to write to R Dix regarding traffic calming, proposed roundabout and parking measures with copy to R Tudor Hughes.

District Councillor's report
J Stimson had telephoned with his apologies; he had nothing of immediate local interest to report, but said that he was involved in a potential dispute involving planning staff who had concerns about a recent job evaluation which took no account of out of hours working. Unison had written to members asking for their assistance.

Matters for consideration

	Annual Return, Audit. - the annual return for the year ended March 31 2002 was approved and signed by the chairman. Prop. P Tuson, sec. M Norton
	Jubilee garden and sign - the sign was completed and ready for hanging. Clerk produced some sample cards made from original art work, now parish council's property, and it was agreed to spend up to £100 getting some sets printed in single and folded formats for distribution to the public. Purchases from the parish council would be priced at cost price. M D'Arcy and P Tuson would investigate advertising landscapers to undertake the construction work of the garden.
	Summary of minutes in The Link - M Inston would be asked if he would like to summarise main events of preceding 3 months to be included in future editions of the Link. The Link would be due out in the next week or two.
	Rubbish on the recreation ground - a letter had been received complaining of the sudden large amount of rubbish left by young people using the recreation ground and suggesting a system of volunteers and a volunteer organiser to tidy up. It was thought that some parental discipline would be useful in preventing the problem in the first place, also it was not easy to find people prepared to volunteer time on a regular basis especially to organise others. It was agreed to ask G Surman to arrange to move the two existing large concrete bins because SODC would not empty them and even if they were lined, someone would have to be found to take out the lining weekly to a point where Grundons would collect them.
	15 Pheasant Walk - Clerk to write re-iterating that parish council was not empowered and did not wish to sell the piece of land adjacent to this property. Maintenance should be included in the regular grounds maintenance contract.
	Goalposts at Broadhurst Gardens/Overhanging trees, Broadhurst Gardens - N Northcott had produced a diagram of proposals for this area for the assistance of the council. G Surman had already started work on the tree and under brush clearing. He reported that

	there was extensive dumping of garden waste by local residents in this area which together with the growth of trees and nettles etc. had considerably reduced the available open space. The wider open space area behind Broadhurst Gardens was being cleared but not the narrower space behind Yeftly Drive at the moment.
	Bus stop on Grenoble Rd - a letter had been received from Oxon CC with copy letter from the facilities manager at the Science Park requesting a new bus stop. The parish council would have to make a financial contribution. The land is in the City Council and so not our concern.
	Football table for village hall - a reconditioned heavy duty one was available, prop. M D'Arcy, sec. M Norton that this be purchased.

For information
Clerk had again written to Oxon CC Highways dept regarding the dangerous state of Henley Rd pavement in the area opposite the Catherine Wheel in spite of a small patch having been made.
