Matters arising 
Clerk had written to Persimmon, who had taken over the responsibility for this area from Westbury Homes, and on the advice of the Oxfordshire Playing Fields Association, had requested that they obtain a post installation inspection from the RoSPA inspector and that a copy of this be forwarded to the parish council.

County Councillor's report
There was no report this month.

District Councillor's report
There was no report this month.
J Stimson would be checking on progress at Oxford Park Homes within the next few days.

Matters for consideration

	Fox Furlong play area - options, i.e. improving equipment present, adding to equipment, removing the equipment, should be reviewed and an invitation to consultation be put in the next Link.
	Partial review of S E Plan - Provision for Gypsy & Traveller caravan sites. There were no comments.
	Consultation - Draft Planning Enforcement Policy. There were no comments.
	Bus Stops - a letter had been received requesting that the X39 Wallingford / Oxford express service be allowed to stop at some point near the Sandford turn from the A4074. Also, requests had been made for a stop to be provided adjacent to the Park Home Site for the 105/106 service and the Tappin's Tesco service. Clerk would write to the relevant County Council department.
	Traffic - The alteration had been made to the Church Road / Henley Road junction and it was felt to be unsatisfactory and not built according to expectations in that there was still a swept bend from Henley Road into Church Road and the road still looked wide and did nothing to discourage speeding. It had been thought that the widened pavement would be extended to about another metre eastwards which would then afford a better view to the right when turning. Peter Ronald had been invited to the meeting but was unable to attend. Clerk would write re-inviting him or a representative to discuss this and also future measures and funding.
