As part of the final restoration work for the quarry west of the Duns Tew Road we are required to remove the former road crossing infrastructure associated with the sand extraction campaigns. The pairs of double gates will be replaced with single farm gates and the hedge and highway verge will be reinstated. This work is starting next Monday 29th January and we have commissioned Civil engineers Greenford Ltd to carry out the works for us. The Highways Authority and the County Council planning department are all aware of the work.
Kind regards,

The Friends of Deddington Library are delighted to announce that our 2018 Parish Calendar is now on sale! A launch event was held on Friday 22nd September at the library for the photographic competition winners and sponsors, at which the calendar was revealed for the very first time! The top three winning entrants of the photographic competition were presented with a large canvas print of their winning entry and the remaining finalists and Sponsors were presented with a complimentary calendar. It was a lovely evening, much enjoyed by all.
We’ve had a fantastic response to the photo competition and received some excellent entries; it was extremely difficult to choose the final 12 images for the calendar but we hope you’ll agree the 12 winning entries are stunning. We are grateful to all the entrants and hope you’ll continue shooting images of our wonderful parish and countryside for entry in next year’s competition.
We are also extremely grateful for such a positive response from the sponsors we approached; the parish businesses have really been behind this initiative; we sincerely hope they are as pleased with the results as we are!
We then ran a very busy market stall at the Farmers Market on Saturday 23rd September at which we promoted and sold the calendar. The take up was exceptionally good, and we hope that many within and beyond the parish will support it as you did last year. The 2018 Parish Calendars continue to be on sale at the library and will be available at the October and November Farmers’ Markets too. Reserve yours by e-mailing books@deddingtonlibrary.org, phoning the library on 01869 338 391 or just calling in and picking one up!
