Truckstop/garage/shop

Joe Deane•3 years ago The main road is part of OCC freight route, and there are frequent long distance lorry drivers who Sh*t in the hedge. There is no rest stop provision nearby, and no proper shop in the village, a combined truckstop/shop would solve many problems including people defecating at the edge of the village as there are no facilities available at the industrial estate overnight. this land is adjacent to old landfill which could also be improved in terms of biodiversity, or become a solar farm, or both.

stop thames water dumping sewage

Joe Deane•3 years ago The river windrush has been devastated by legal and illeagal sewage dumping by thames water. stopping this will have a major impact on the nature recovery and biodiversity

More effective use of landfill area (above landfill/cap)

Joe Deane•3 years ago This area has is large and poorly landscaped above the landfills, inlcuding gas relief causing unpleasant smells from the landfill gas. This could be put to better use as a wildflower meador, hop garden, or medicinal cannabis/poppies, olive grove etc (many agricultural options would not imact the landfill cap as short rooted) plantings in particular would mitigate the eyesore and occaisional smell (possibly toxic from H2S). Alternately this and the old 'silt ponds' could be repurposed into a nature/trunning trail. Or the landfill area could be used for a solar farm

Cycle path to eynsham around land approved for gravel extraction

Joe Deane•3 years ago The bulk of the land between sutton and eynsham is scheduled for gravel extraction. there is already a ranger track built around the main site. with minimal adaption and some surfacing (could be gravel lol) this could form a cycle/pedestrian route to eynsham away from the very dangerous main road.

Restore Thames path along the Thames

Joe Deane•3 years ago The Thames path alongside the caravan park should be restored, it was never right that it was removed. while i appreciate the current use of the caravan site means a path may not be compatible, the extensive flooding of this area routinely will mean this will be washed away as flooding gets worse returning it back to use as a footpath.

Farmland surrounding Stanton harcourt

Joe Deane•3 years ago I would suggest this farmland should remain as farmland, the alternative is probably that we'll eventually run out of food, that would suck!

Cycle path

Joe Deane•3 years ago This road is lethal to cycle on, it would be easy to build a cycle path in the verge making it much safer for both cars and cyclists

Elevated Train/Light Railway to link standlake, northmoor, stanton, eynsham

Joe Deane•3 years ago The land along the river frequently floods, but could be effectively used for an elevated railway (El Train) to join the villages to the nearest village with a bus at eynsham. long term perhaps but cars and roads will not work long term, they barely work now.

Extend space for cemetary to account for new houses/occupants

Joe Deane•3 years ago The village has expanded by over 25% in the last few years, this means there will be at least this much more space required to bury the extra bodies eventually. we should plan for this now and add in some biodiversity features at the same time. This sounds odd but its just common sense and has been forgotten with respect to the new builds approved, along with roads, schools, buses, sewage, doctors etc.

stop thames water dumping sewage

Joe Deane•3 years ago This treatment plant is one of the worst in the country for storm discharges of untreated sewage, both in the wet and dry weather. this has not had any upgrade despite the village population rising by 25% in the last few years. The raw sewage has devastated wildlife in the streams between hear and the thames which are now ecologically dead. In addition the discarge of solids when sewage is not treated has led to build up of sediment in the drainage channels between here and the thames (not far from where we get the drinking water out by the way) which is exacerbating flooding again destroying the biodiversity of the area

Bypass/link road to improve infrastructure

Joe Deane•3 years ago Link the current bypass roundabout to the south leigh bend, or even across to the A40. This road is classed as a freight network by OCC but it utterly unsuitable and very dangerous with frequent HGV use where children need to cross the road for the school bus. You could also add solar/wind turbines (fairly open area) or a biodiversity corridor at the same time. ooh and a cycle path/runnign track perhas.

Cycle path on verge space stanton to standlake

Joe Deane•3 years ago There is room on the bulk of the verge between stanton harcourt and standlake to form a cycle path. this road is dangerous due to the blind bends. this would make it easier for people to travel sustainably when the oil runs out. If you don't think this is viable in cost terms, please approve us to do it as a village and we will dig the path ourselves on saturday mornings.

Phone/communications tower at church

Joe Deane•3 years ago Phone reception is very poor in the area. a phone tower at the church would be the perfect place to solve this and allow some wayleave rent to support the church funds which are desperately needed.

Pedestrian/cycle bridge

Joe Deane•3 years ago Pedestrian/cycle route to allow safe cycle comuting towards abingdon. Agree entirely with Mr Maynards suggestion but if a bridge is too expensive in the short term, why not a platform chain ferry, like we used to have till not that long ago!
