Launton Parish Council
Parish Council Update Since the Chairman made his report
to the Annual Parish Meeting in April, the Council and its staff have been engaged in a number of activities;
·
Completing the arrangements for the handover of the Launton allotments to the
Launton Plotters management committee
· Continuing a dialogue with Cherwell District Council which is resulting in on-going remedial work to overcome drainage
issues in Station Rd
· Sourcing

·
Tendering and engaging contractors to;
o
Maintain the shrubbery in the Sherwood Close garden
o
Clear and maintain the pedestrian refuge in Station Rd
o Replace the dead tree
in the Glades
· Repairs to
all three bus shelters have been carried out by Councillors and staff
· The bus shelters and war memorial have been kept clean and tidy on a regular basis
·
Requests put to Oxfordshire Highways by the Council will result in the vegetation
being cleared from the verges either side of the bridge in Bicester Rd and trees at the entrance to Chestnut Close being pruned
·
In addition to these Parish initiatives, Oxfordshire Highways have resurfaced
the footpaths in both Sycamore Rd and Chestnut Close, and replaced the grit bin outside The Bull.
If you would like to know more about the work of the Council, or observe it
in operation, its meetings take place from 7.pm on the first Thursday of every month, in the Village Hall.
Everyone
is welcome to attend and in the first half an hour you can talk to Councillors about anything relating to the Parish. Meetings
seldom last more than 2 hours and the public can attend for all or any part of the time.
The Council would like to wish everyone in the village a happy Christmas and
a peaceful New Year.
