Matters for consideration

	Traffic matters - Peter Egawhary reported that following last month's meeting he had made copies for the parish council of the original agreements made between Magdalen College, Oxford United and the City Council which included financial provision for traffic management in Sandford. He was investigating whether it would be appropriate to use some of the money eg for traffic calming. He was working on proposals for Grenoble Rd to absorb most of the excess match day parking and it was hoped that work could start in May/June of this year.
	Jubilee garden - no further progress, N Northcott had spoken to G Turnbull regarding the design and H Hutton said that she had found someone prepared to lift the large stones when it was required.
	Security measures at village hall - motor bikes and bicycles were still being brought on to the rec. It was resolved to lock the double gates and to ask B Hedges to quote for providing one new kissing gate by double gates and two replacement kissing gates at existing positions to allow buggy access and to move the notice board down to the gate near the church. G Surman would be asked to provide 2 or 3 strand barbed wire to existing fence posts by ditch behind bus stop and to provide new posts as necessary.
	Auditor's report 2002 - 2003 The auditor's opinion was reported to the council and the Annual Return was approved and accepted by the council.
