Parish Council Objectives 2022 – 2025

 

The purpose of this document is to provide a list of objectives for Cassington Parish Council to lead in implementation over the period 2022 – 2025. It is suggested that this initial list of priorities is discussed and refined prior to presentation to the village.

  1. Completion of the Neighbourhood Plan and adoption by the Parish Council and village of Cassington.
  2. To look at sustainable energy supplies for the village of Cassington that can be provided at matched or lower costs than conventional power supplies. Adoption of additional strategies to reduce use of hydrocarbon-based fuels and reduction of energy waste.
  3. To address increasing problems of rising levels of traffic and speeding in the village of Cassington and roads within the Parish.
  4. To maintain a watching brief on flood prevention and drainage issues in Cassington and Worton villages.
  5. To implement policies outlined in the Neighbourhood Plan and Green Infrastructure Plan with respect to nature conservation.
  6. To work with St Peter’s School to rectify the current funding and management issues with respect to the school swimming pool. To identify further priorities for fund raising for the school.
  7. To develop a community food program through working with the allotment and other landowners around Cassington. This includes distribution of excess produce and the planting of a community orchard.
  8. To work with West Oxfordshire District Council and local landowners to address sustainable transport for the village and to maintain and build upon the local network of footpaths and cycleways for both commuting and leisure, as outlined in the Green Infrastructure Plan and Neighbourhood Plan.
  9. To examine provisions for young people and senior / vulnerable residents of Cassington. Can Cassington do more for these members of our village?
  10. To look at what other measures can be taken to improve the quality of life of our villagers.
  11. Current and future provisions of the Almshouse
  12. A more accessible village car park
  13. Maybe moving the gate to playing fields and introducing a fence to the perimeter to allow the car park to be use 24 hours?
  14. Community glass house – I’ve heard of other villages who have provided facilities to allow produce to be grown all year round.
  15. Finally, introduction of green initiatives we’ve discussed in the past – EV charging points at the VH and pavilion, plus cycles racks etc.
