Apologies for absence  Mr S Paine,   Mrs I Reveco.

Approve and sign Minutes  prop M Robson,   sec. K Welch.

Matters arising
Clerk had not yet received copy of village hall insurance document from hall treasurer.

County Councillor's report
This was substantially covered by traffic calming item.

Matters for consideration

	Traffic calming:   Peter Ronald said that even though the traffic survey had shown no problems warranting County Council measures there was a sum of £25,000 remaining from the Kassam Stadium agreement which had to be spent by next March. He proposed spending this on two speed activated signs to be positioned to parish council agreement at either end of the village plus a mini roundabout with road hatching, street lighting and signing. The parish council agreed this unanimously. Clerk would confirm in writing. There was also a sum of 40,000 which formed part of the Science Park agreement which Cllr Howell would argue for in committee. Peter Ronald suggested for this seven sets of three speed cushions with improvements to the lighting columns where they were installed. This money would have to be spent by 2011 but public consultation would have to be carried out first. It would be best to allow about a year for this. There was a successful scheme installed in Garsington.
	Playground inspection report:   M Robson and K Welch were congratulated on the work they had undertaken. A questionnaire had been delivered to 200 houses in the Heyford Hill area between 11th and 12th of November and 17 had been returned by 1st December. From the survey it became apparent that residents liked the mini football goals in Fox Furlong and favoured the improvement of the play equipment area. It was agreed to demolish existing equipment and replace with new items suitable for children from the ages of 3 - 12. A sum would be budgeted and it was hoped to be able to spend some of it before the end of the financial year next March.
	There had been some bad attacks of vandalism in the Church Road recreation ground and work was proceeding to replace and repair damaged items, all four swings, toddler's equipment and youth shelter. Some people had heard or witnessed the vandalism and were urged in future to ring 999 if the attack was in progress or at least 0845 8 505 505 to report damage. Even though police probably wouldn't attend or appear to take any notice at least a crime would be flagged up. If there are enough incidences reported we might eventually appear on the radar.
	Budget 2008/2009:   It was agreed as draft with inclusion of bus stop hardstanding for Park Homes, Clerk's national pay award and improvements to recreation areas. To precept £25,000.

Matters raised
The grass cutting service by Berinsfield Community Business had been excellent except for some gutters and railings in Church Road. Clerk would write and ensure that this was included in the schedule. They could cut the grass on Wednesday next year so that youth club and toddler groups could play inside and out without bringing in grass
