Apologies for absence  Cllr J Stimson.

Approve and sign Minutes  prop M Robson,   sec. M Inston.

Matters arising  There were none.

District Councillor's report
In his report emailed to the clerk, J Stimson said it is likely that funds will be available to deal with a large backlog of enforcement cases.
An appeal has been lodged by the applicants with regard to the conditions and restrictions imposed at the recent licensing hearing. There appear to be two possibilities: either the matter will be returned to SODC for another hearing or the panel concerned (three members) will be required to attend at the Magistrates court to explain their decision. He would keep us informed as soon as possible.
He received a phone recorded message from Mrs Hutton who is pleased that a letter has at last been issued from Environmental Health, SODC which promises some action.

County Councillor's report
J Howell said that the Structure Plan review was now complete as also the result of the housing questionnaire consultation which had been driven by SEERA. 6 weeks had been allotted and a small budget of £5,000. The OCC Cabinet decision was to endorse the Structure Plan policy of not building in the Green Belt. This would be reported to SEERA.
He recommended visiting www.transaction.org.uk to learn about the proposed local transport plan which involved a cut in government grant.
Various highways departments had been amalgamated under the umbrella of 'Oxfordshire Highways.'
He has emailed two forms relating to minerals to clerk who would fill them in and return on behalf of the parish council.
Fire control centers were being moved to Fareham at a much increased £2B over the original estimate of £750M. Oxfordshire would gain nothing from this.
And lastly, the good news is that R Dix has obtained funding of £66,000 to be spent on traffic calming measures in Sandford. He would be invited to the January meeting to discuss ways in which this might be spent in addition to measures already agreed.

Matters for consideration

	Playgrounds - update. M Robson had met 3 play equipment companies and obtained estimates for 'pyramid nets' these were way beyond budget after installation costs were added so it was agreed that she would bring suggestions to the next meeting for what was available for £6,500. She had also got quotes from Safe and Sound for repairs and maintenance to existing equipment and it was agreed that she accept their quotation and ask them to carry out the work asap.
	Budget 2006 / 2007 - After discussion of draft budget for next year, Clerk would prepare a final version to be decided at next meeting. Expenditure to remain substantially the same with provision for more play equipment at Fox Furlong and Church Road and provision for proposed village hall storage extension.

Planning  O05/W1041 33 Church Rd - single storey extensions to front and rear. PC no strong views.
