15/07/2020
Recently the white lining to identify this cycle lane has been renewed. Thank you to OCC.
This cycle lane is not two way. It's one way.
Please cycle in this designated cycle lane in the direction of the traffic only.
The other side of the road has its own route for cycle safety. Follow the bike pics on the road to exit the highway and the safe route can be found behind the hedge line.
Now the lining is nice and bright it's easy to understand and follow.
Please share this with any keen cyclists you know and children who cycle this way.
Stay alert. Stay safe. Bike safely.

03/06/2020
Chinnor PC Full Council met Monday night.
As a Council we have now had many conversations about the August marquee.
After much careful consideration and discussion it was agreed by Council, with saddened hearts, to cancel the marquee this year.
This decision was a tough one as you can image and it comes with concern over the social distancing requirements required, probably for a long time ahead.
We cannot see how the marquee could be a safe environment and social distancing could be maintained, especially if the weather isn't on our side!
All of the hirers who had requested usage of the marquee have been informed and they have all agreed that this was the best decision in the current climate, although very disappointing for all.
The marquee is set to return in August 2021.

02/04/2020
1) The Chinnor Emergency Plan has been active for a while now. It's working as planned. It's a professional document, written by professionals for us to follow.
2) The Street Friends (SF) are coordinated from this Plan and all actions are following the Emergency Plan structure.
3) ALL coordination of SF is coordinated by CPC / Emergency Plan committee and must come through CPC – chinnorpc@btconnect.com or call 01844 353267
If you need assistance from your SF please be aware of the following...
• If you call your allocated SF to request ESSENTIAL items – they will tell you the day they plan to shop – this is once a week. Most roads have more than one SF and they are in contact with each other so if one cannot help, then another maybe able too.
• If you need the items quicker try to contact one of the other SF they have had a flyer from, or call Good Neighbour Scheme if very urgent and life essential.
• Lloyds Pharmacist - prescriptions can be collected by a SF but please allow plenty of time and notice for all collections.
• Please remember our SF will only be leaving the house for Essential items / Prescription collections once a week, and not a few times every day for a few bits.
• If you see / hear / know of anyone who is struggling please let GNS know asap - 01844 353500
• All of our SF volunteers are told to follow Gov advice – for our own safety and everyone else's. This includes social distancing which is of high importance.
• Advice is changing quickly as this is fast moving – please always follow the advice given.
• If you do not know who your allocated SF is please email chinnorpc@btconnect.com or call 01844 353267

Winter Preparations 2020
22/11/2019
Getting Ready for Winter
CPC has worked hard over the past months to get ready for the forthcoming wintry conditions!
We have more salt bins located in the parish for use during these bad weather conditions and 5 more on order (see list below), plus extra stock of salt and grit if needed to refill bins.
Please remember the salt in the bins is intended for use on the public highway and pavements only, and that bins have been sighted in their locations for a specific reason.
There is no law against people clearing pavements or public spaces. Ministers have repeatedly welcomed "public-spiritedness" and said "common sense" and "benefit of the doubt" should always prevail when considering litigation.
Please help your neighbours and the elderly during icy conditions. Thank you
If you know of someone in need during these poor weather conditions, please contact CPC by email or phone (answer machine when closed) as we can arrange some assistance.
Alternatively, please call the Chinnor Good Neighbour Scheme on 01844 353500.
In severe conditions OCC Winter Services will grit the main bus routes only (B4009, B4445).
