Despite having less than 24 hours notice and many residents being at work or away, a large crowd of West Adderbury residents gathered at the Oak Tree this afternoon in support of a parish council for West Adderbury.
Friends, neighbours and complete strangers chatted in a socially distanced fashion in the beautiful sunshine. Whatever their age or background, all had two things in common – a desire for West Adderbury to have a say in its own future, and a belief that this can only be achieved by reinstating West Adderbury Parish Council.
Over 200 residents of West Adderbury signed a petition asking Cherwell District Council for a Community Governance Review, which will decide whether to reinstate a separate parish council for our village. The consultation period for this Review ends on Friday 28 August 2020 – if you have not already submitted your views then you can do so by visiting:
