Hallowe’en – Sunday 31 October

by

All the villagers with decorated houses in Caversfield are looking forward to welcoming you to the village on Sunday 31 October.

As the area is likely to be busy, we ask that, to protect you, other visitors and the householders, you wear masks, bring hand sanitiser with you and keep your distance between groups where possible.

As usual, the Police, MoD Police and US staff will be working together to help make sure everyone is safe on the night.

Parking restrictions will be put in place so, as parking is limited around the village, please walk and avoid driving if at all possible.

However, if you do come by car, please respect driveways and the parking restrictions.  We have had visitors parking on residents’ drives or blocking entrances in the past and we want to make it a happy event for all.

Hallowe’en – Parking Arrangements

by

As in previous years, the Parish Council has worked with the US Air Force team, the UK Police, the MoD Police, the Fire Service and the OCC Emergency Planning Team to ensure that Halloween on Sunday 31 October will be a safe event for everyone.

A leaflet about the arrangements – including parking – will be delivered to all houses in the village soon and more information will be available here shortly.

The next Parish Council meeting will take place in Fringford Village Hall, Fringford, OX27 8DY, on Wednesday 15 September at 7.30pm – please note the new venue.

The Agenda for the meeting together with the Minutes of the 3 August meeting are available with the meeting papers at https://www.caversfieldpc.org.uk/parish-council/agenda-and-minutes/2021-2022-agenda-and-minutes-of-meetings/.  If you would like hard copies of any of the documents please do let me know before the meeting so that I can ensure I have enough copies.
All the COVID procedures to keep everyone as safe as possible when attending are also on the Agenda and Minutes page.

There are now two vacant seats on the Parish Council, leaving us with just five Councillors.  The Parish Council needs Councillors in order to function.

The Parish Council is often the place that people in the community come to for guidance.  By becoming a Parish Councillor, you become someone your community may look to for help, guidance and support. You will also have the support of an experienced professional Clerk.

Parish Councils make all kinds of decisions on issues that affect the local community.  Among a variety of things, we are the village’s voice on planning matters, we have a liaison role with the MoD and the various management companies and groups around the village.

With fewer Councillors, it is much harder to make the village’s voice heard.

The District Council is currently undertaking a review of all Parishes in the area and if villagers are not interested in putting themselves forward, the Parish Council may consider asking for a merger with another area.  This might be with one of the neighbouring villages (if they are happy with this) or even with Bicester (which, of course would put up the Council Tax), but either option will leave the village with much less of a voice.

Please think about whether you can help.  See the information on the becoming a Councillor page at https://www.caversfieldpc.org.uk/parish-council/becoming-a-councillor/ and join us on 15 September.
