Month: April 2025

On Wednesday the 30th of April, the Chipping Norton Neighbourhood Team will be holding a have your say event at the Charlbury Community Centre from 10am -2pm

We will have;

“No cold calling” stickers for front doors.

Information on the best way to deal with scammers on the phone.

The little book of BIG scams. A very useful little book, packed with good advice on how to spot scams.

Information on call blockers if you are receiving a lot of scam calls.

A list of reputable trades people and advice on what the correct process is, if you are planning on any home improvements or general property maintenance.  

We will have a limited supply of Faraday pouches (A Faraday pouch is a pouch lined with a conductive material, like metal mesh, that blocks electromagnetic signals, including radio waves. This shielding effect prevents signals from being transmitted in or out of the pouch, effectively isolating electronic devices inside. This is useful for protecting car keys from relay attacks or blocking phone signals. )

And lots more crime prevention advice.

April 26^th at 3pm at the Playground,

followed by a discussion of the next phase at the Tite Inn.

(under the covered outside space) 

To mark the completion of phase two of the playground refurbishment project.  The Parish Council invites all residence of Chadlington to join us to view the new equipment and discuss plans for the next phase of the project.

Over the last two years the Parish Council has completed:

Phase 1 (completed April 2023)

·      Toddler area: Installed a new toddler multi-play structure to replace the old unit that was no longer in a fit condition. 

·      Agility trail: Remove the old agility trail and replaced with a new trail with metal feet to avoid the wood rot problems that shortened the life of the previous equipment.

Phase 2 (completed February 2025)

·      Toddler area: Replace the current stationary vehicles and springer with 3 static vehicles (one with a small tunnel), a single user springer and a double user springer.  A new roundabout has also been fitted to replace the broken equipment.

·      Agility trail: Added two additional (challenging) pieces to the agility trail.

This work has been funded by many generous donations from our community and Parish Council funds. We thank all those who have helped maintain the playground through the work parties to spread bark chippings, volunteered to help maintain equipment, and made donations to support the refurbishment program.

Please join us on April 26^th at 3pm to celebrate our great playground.
