Approve and sign Minutes  P Tuson,   H Hutton.

Matters arising
A meeting for February 16 had been arranged to discuss a combined villages group to fight the proposals for development on the Green Belt.
The Fringe Forum had been attended by N Northcott and M Hills, the main subject had been policing and no satisfactory answers had been obtained from the police in answer to questions from the floor. There was now no liaison committee. It was possible that the area forums would be discontinued.
A letter had been received from Sergeant Reaney regarding the nuisance caused by motor cycle riding. He is a member of the Rosehill and Littlemore Community Beat team and he could offer no help but advised that the best remedy was for landowners to fence the ground securely. Clerk would write to Donnington Hospital Trust once more and copy police advice to them.

District Councillor's report  
J Stimson drew the attention of the parish council to the proposed changes to licensing laws arrangements.
He reported that the Task Group for Model Standards in Park Homes had been set up. It would require visits to sites and a method for enforcing phased introduction of the Model Standards to inconvenience residents as little as possible. An interim report was due in May and a final one in July.
The Local Plan process was underway, a meeting had been held on Jan 27 to discuss the process, matters concerning Didcot would be discussed last. He suggested checking the SODC website to monitor progress.
