It has come to the attention of the Parish Council that 14 parcels of land are being offered for sale through an agent in London. If you are considering buying, or know anyone who is, please listen to this episode of BBC “You and Yours” from a minute in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000xt9s
The Parish Council recommends that you take independent professional advice in such matters and do not allow yourself to be rushed into any commitment without careful consideration of that advice. The old adage “Buyer Beware” is invaluable. The second link below give added context.

The Duns Tew Parish Council has joined the 20’s Plenty campaign in which villages, towns and local communities across Oxfordshire have united to campaign for a 20mph mandatory speed limit where pedestrians, cyclists (and horses) mix with vehicles. We have put up new 20’s Plenty signs around the village to support this campaign and the Parish Council would appreciate your support for this by driving at 20mph within the village which will help slow all traffic down
The play area is closed until Thursday 8th July while the fence and vehicle gate are replaced.
Thank you for your understanding.

A Covid Vaccine Passport scam email has been going around that purports to be from the NHS and informs recipients that they can apply for their “Digital Coronavirus Passports”. Clicking on the link within the email, takes you to a convincing but fake NHS website that asks for personal and payment details. (for an admin fee). The website has since been taken down, but in case similar emails/websites appear can you please circulate the attached alert to your residents, members, groups and mailing lists.
And just to reiterate, your vaccination status is obtained FREE through the NHS App, website or by calling the NHS on 119.
