Register for Priority Services to get benifits during power cuts

by

 

It’s that time of year when power cuts occur and they can be particularly distressing and difficult, especially if they last for a long period of time. Scottish and Southern Electricity are offering extra help and support to those who need it most and all you have to do is register with them.

The Parish Council has put  a Resilience programme in place for the village to take affect in the event of an identified emergency and has agreed to distribute one of their leaflets which enable you to register for their priority services. Anyone requiring help to fill out the form should simply contact one of the Parish Councillors listed on this website. You can also register by phoning Scottish & Southern directly on 0800 294 3259.

You can join the Scottish & Southern Register if you, or someone in your household:

  • Has a disability
  • Has a chronic illness
  • Is of pensionable age
  • Is blind or partially sighted
  • Is deaf or hard of hearing
  • Has another type of special need
  • Has had a change is personal circumstances (e.g a bereavement or divorce)

If you haven’t seen it yet, take a walk around into Mill Road and admire the lovely Christmas tree supplied by the Christmas Barn and kindly put up by Jeremy Adams. Our thanks go to Mr & Mrs Papenfus for once again agreeing to supply electricity to the tree.

Another Sweeping Success of the roads

by

Thanks to everyone who moved their cars and swept leaves out into the roads on 7th December. The best village cooperation and participation yet!

Cherwell District Council sent their road team to support the sweeper vehicle and did a great job particularly in Church Street and Cherry Street where the leaves were particularity dense. We  consider ourselves to be very lucky to get this level of attention as resources are very limited and few villages get this treatment. So thanks CDC.

A few photos showing work in progress and only a handful of cars on the roads.

Road Leaf Sweeping Wednesday 7th December

by

This is to let everyone in the village know that we have arranged for Cherwell District Council to sweep the roads of Stratton Audley on Wednesday 7th December from 8am.  It was originally 30th November but the lorry broke down and the date had to be moved back one week.

A clean-up at this time  of year is particularly important with so many fallen leaves. If you are able, please sweep as much into the gutters, in advance for the lorry to sweep up.

It would be greatly appreciated if cars parked on the streets could be moved for a short time so that the road sweeping lorry has clear access to the gutters. On previous occasions where we have coordinated our efforts it has worked very well with cars being moved for a short period and other put onto the grass verges.

Thanks for your continued cooperation.

Spooky Party is a Scream!

by

Children queued up at Red Lion to get into the Stratton Audley Halloween party on Saturday 29th October.

About thirty kids and accompanying parents packed into a specially decorated room where there were organised games, activities and frightening fun for all to have. All the children entered the spirit with costumes and face painting to scare the living daylights out of any unsuspecting passers-by.

The event was organised on behalf of the Parish Council by Leah Byrne and Becky Clark, as a free event kindly supported by the Red Lion who provided the venue and hot refreshments for all the children. 

Thanks to everyone else who helped on the day and if anyone wants copies of the photographs just contact Leah Byrne via email at Leah_brennan@hotmail.com.

NEW WEEK-DAY BUS SERVICE

by

GOOD NEWS.

NEW WEEK-DAY BUS SERVICE THROUGH STRATTON AUDLEY

FROM MONDAY 31st OCTOBER.

 

Following discussions with several bus companies, Langston and Tasker have agreed to reroute their Buckingham to Bicester (no.18 service) through Stratton Audley once a day, Monday to Friday.

The service will commence on Monday 31st October and pass through Stratton Audley at 10.20am. The return journey will leave Bicester (Bure Place) at 13.10 (1.10pm) and arrive back in Stratton Audley nine minutes later (see reverse side for the full timetable).

The service is to run for a six month experimental period to give the bus company the opportunity to gauge demand, because like all public transport operations their funding by County Councils has been severely cut back. If there is sufficient demand they would expect to make the service permanent.

This is a ‘use it or lose it’ service and we would ask/urge as many people as are able and willing to use the service at least once every week during the trial period.

USE IT OR LOSE IT – IT’S UP TO ALL OF US TO MAKE IT WORK!
