The long list for possible mineral extraction sites had identified one area whose northern boundary was at Sandford.

District Councillor's report
Cllr P Tomlinson was unable to attend this meeting but had offered to meet the parish council informally one early evening if a mutually convenient time could be found.

Matters for consideration

	Councillor's declarations. The declarations of acceptance of office were completed, signed and witnessed by the clerk
	Vandalism - There is a policeman who occasionally patrols the village on foot. He may be identified by his height and the yellow jacket he wears.
	Traffic - the 'village gateway' signs had been ordered and were expected to be installed in about 6 weeks time.
	Fox Furlong recreation ground. It was decided to have the existing sub-standard equipment removed so that residents could be asked for their opinions as to what should replace it on site and then money could be budgeted for expenditure next year.
	Revised Model Code of Conduct - It was resolved that the mandatory provisions in the Model Code of Conduct set out in Statutory Instrument 2007/1159 be adopted as the Sandford on Thames Parish Council Code of Conduct, to be effective from 1 July 2007, subject to the inclusion of the "general principles" as an Annex to the Code for members to have regard to the principles; and the addition of paragraph 12(2) of the Model Code, but excluding the words in brackets each as recommended by the Standards Board for England and South Oxfordshire District Council; and the Clerk be requested to notify the Monitoring Officer of South Oxfordshire District Council of the passing of the above resolution.
