Headington Village Hall – Front Garden Tidy Up, 26 August from 0930

Headington Quarry Village Hall
Help needed with a front garden tidy up on Tuesday, 26th August from 9.30am
 
Could you spare some time on Tuesday next week to help tidy up the front garden area?
The nursery is closed for next week and we would like to take the opportunity to cut back the hedges etc.
If the weather is really inclement then we will be working on the hall interior and will try for another morning later in the same week.
 
Our village hall is owned by all who live in the parish area of Holy Trinity, held in trust by the Charity Commission and run by volunteers.  The hall needs improving and we are working hard towards raising funds to improve the toilet facilities as well as the interior and exterior of the building.  Please look at the notice board for details of refund regular activities and our fund raising events.

Stansfeld Outdoor Education Centre – Now an Asset of Community Value

Following an application by the Friends of Quarry following the first Public Meeting concerning the future of Stansfeld Outdoor Education Centre, we are pleased to report that Oxford City Council has now included the Centre on the List of Assets of Community Value.

Inclusion on the List of Assets puts in place restrictions on the sale of the property under the Localism Act, which are intended to give the local community a voice in the purpose that the land is sold for.

A copy of the Notice of Decision is attached.
