There will be a load of play bark delivered into the new toddler area this afternoon. Please do not use the toddler area or play in it until we have had a chance to spread it. It should be done by tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your help with this.

Duns Tew Parish Council.

The Play area will be closed completely on Thursday and Friday (20^th & 21^st June) this week to refurbish the Toddler area. 

There will be no access to the bottom or the tennis court because the workmen will have machinery and vehicles in the top half and over the footpath. 

Thank you for your patience while we do this work. 

— Duns Tew Parish Council.

A public consultation has been started over the introduction of a 20mph speed limit in the village. This initiative has been extensively discussed and supported by the Parish Council.

The 20mph limit should have been included in the first 20mph roll out in the County a couple of years ago. As a result of a clerical error within Oxfordshire County Council the application was mislaid. We realise that there will be different opinions within the village about this and urge all residents, whatever their views, to make them known as per the instructions on the notice.

Here is the email from OCC and all the details including how to make your view known can be accessed by clicking the ‘letstalk’ link below.

Thank you.

RE: CONSULTATION – Duns Tew proposed 20mph Speed Limits

Oxfordshire County Council wants to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.

We’re therefore asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit within Duns Tew, replacing the existing 30mph speed limit in its entirety in the process. The proposals are being put forward following concerns raised by the parish over road safety, and form part of a countywide programme of works that seeks to deliver ‘a safer place with a safer pace’ for the residents of Oxfordshire.

The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Bicester Advertiser newspaper today; Thursday 13th June 2024, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal here; https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/dunstew_20mph2024

As stated on the notice, any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 05th July 2024.

Dear friend

You may have heard that the UK’s telephone network is being upgraded, which means that landline services are changing. People can still have a landline in their homes, but the technology that powers it will be different.

For most, switching over will be straightforward, but some people may need new equipment or support to make the changes.

Whilst people need to contact their telephone provider for more information on when this change will affect them, our aim is to provide some clarity on what is happening and why.

We have created an information sheet (attached), and we’d value your support in ensuring that older people in our local communities are aware of these changes, how they might be affected, and the steps they should take to be prepared.

Thank you for your support
