NEW YEAR LETTER
May I take this opportunity of thanking
those many people in Sandford who have done so
much work for us all in 1982, members of the
- Parish Council and our Clerk, those who look
after the Village Hall, and the Management
Committee and fund raisers, all those who run
village clubs, those who produce and distribute
the Sandford Link, and the many others who help
in different ways.
We all benefit it from their work and time
SO generously given.
Best wishes to everyone for 1983.
Elizabeth Burra,
Chairman of the Parish Council.
PARISH COUNCIL
At the November meeting of the Parish Council,
when P.C. Dell attended and made some useful
suggestions, the following matters were
discussed:-
1. Through a helpful Surveyor, the Parish
Council have negotiated with Magdalen College
for the grant to the Parish Council of a Lease
of the Rec. ground for 20 years.
2. It was decided that for the present time
the fence between the Hall and the Rec. should
not be put up, but that the gate from the Rec,
into Church Rd. should be locked, and the
gate to the Village Hall itself should be
replaced, and this might discourage the area
round the Village Hall being used as a
thoroughfare.
3. Gifts of trees and shrubs for around the Hall will be appreciated
especially if the giver plants the plant themselves.

4. Mrs N. King the District Councillor attended the December meeting of
the Parish Council. This meeting discussed at length the problem about the
rubbish dumping round the 10 Acre caravan site and that the dumping along
the bridle Way is becoming a great problem. There is new Warden on the site,
but this does not seem to have prevented the rubbish dumping and unlawful
parking of caravans outside the site. South Oxfordshire Dist. Council have
been informed of the problem and say that they are planning to renew the
fence as necessary. They are asking Magdalen College to remove the rubbish
from the Bridle way.
It was decided that if there could be a meeting between S.O.D.C, Magdalen
College, Thames Water Authority and the Parish Council it may be possible
to resolve the present problem and come to some constructive decision about
preventing rubbish. The date of such a meeting is not yet known.
There is also a discussion about the new planning application by the Co-op
for a superstore near Kiln Park Caravan site. The members of the Parish
Council were not in agreement as to whether to approve the application or
not.
The next meeting of the Parish Council will be on 10th. January 1983.
