District Councillor's
report J Stimson had visited Miss J Ford regarding the flooding problem and hoped that County Council would have more radical solutions than just gulley cleaning.
Regarding Oxford Park Homes he had held a meeting with the Chief Environmental Health Officer and found that at present no one was designated in charge because of extreme staff shortages. He would press for a detailed survey to be included in the general one taking place in December.
Draft Local Plan re developing land opposite Science Park. He had attended a meeting at which it was suggested that Oxford City Council was hoping to breach the green belt and build on the land. He urged vigilance.
He was concerned at the lack of police action on parking, joy riders etc and also the lack of communication between the police and the parishes. He added that he had not been elected to the SODC cabinet. The parish council expressed regret at this.

County Councillor's report
this was covered in earlier part of meeting by N Northcott who requested that R Tudor Hughes keep parish council informed of any proposals for developing the land on south side of Grenoble Rd.

Matters for consideration

Broadhurst Gardens recreation ground - Nick Grierson was invited to speak on behalf of the Broadhurst Gardens and Yeftly Drive residents. The residents had held a meeting and produced a document outlining their concerns regarding the possible use of the recreation area by older children, joy riders etc and that the 'football pitch' would lead to problems. M Inston pointed out that rec. at B. G. was not exclusively for the use of immediate residents but for the whole area. There was a small children's playground at Janaway and also a successful kick about area at Fox Furlong. A similar kick about area was all that had been proposed - something to aim balls at rather than nothing as at present. M Norton said that no decision could be made at this meeting because parish council had only just received the proposal and would need time to study it. It seemed to him that child safety was of paramount importance and that considerable clearance of vegetation would help. N Northcott proposed that a sub committee consisting of three residents, three parish councillors and one young person be convened to meet soon on site to agree a proposal to be brought to December meeting. The proposal could be circulated to all residents via the December Link. Seconded, H Hutton. Nick Grierson would notify the clerk of proposed time and place and names of resident representatives.

	A second letter had been received from Mrs A Kent of Yeftly Drive requesting the pollarding of five Willows near her property. This would be included with the ground clearance work at Broadhurst Gardens.
	Traffic matters - N Northcott had attended a meeting with Cllr R Tudor Hughes and David Young and Richard Dix of Oxon CC. Four main issues had been discussed. 1. Mr Kassam has started work on a leisure complex which would only increase traffic in Sandford and appeared to have no intention of increasing parking provision at the stadium. 2. The County Council hoped to conclude consultation etc on provision of double yellow lines as parking restrictions by Jan/Feb next year. They were concerned at lack of action in provision of parking by Kassam. R Tudor Hughes was still pressing for signing from Tesco end of Grenoble Rd. 3. Work was still progressing on the idea of a mini roundabout at the Henley Rd, Brick Kiln Lane junction to improve traffic flow. This would be subject to consultation. 4. Speeding - this was considered not serious by the county, they had suggested possibility of white lining as a traffic calming measure. They would commit themselves to some measure and would have to consult. Mr D Harris was invited to speak to voice his concerns about the double yellow lines proposal. A policeman had visited his house recently and measured the distance that cars were parked from the junction and said that they were within the legal limit. Mr Harris suggested that it would be helpful if police were to enforce the law as it stood to see whether improvement would render the painting of yellow lines unnecessary. J Stimson had already taken the issue of enforcement up at the police liaison committee and had found beat officers to be in favour but more senior officers to disagree. N Northcott requested that Henley Rd residents park their cars on the road rather than on the verges as apart from protecting the verges it would act as a traffic calming measure.
	Budget 2003 / 2004 This would be considered in detail at the next meeting and councillors would bring suggestions if they had any.
	Jubilee garden and sign - M D'Arcy had found someone locally prepared to quote for the work. He would arrange a site meeting to include the clerk.
