Chippy football ground debacle features on TV & radio – Monday

Many people will already know that the BBC’s long-running investigative documentary programme, Panorama, has been researching the activities of Minotaur Clubs Partnership, the Chesterfield-based company that has been involved with football clubs up and down the country.

Final filming has been taking place this week, including attempts to doorstep the man at the heart of the issue. Both Panorama and BBC Radio Oxford will be covering the story on Monday 3rd Dec.

Ripped Off? Join the Club

Listen to David Prever’s Radio Oxford breakfast show on 95.2FM from 7am, then Kat Orman will take the story on into her show, starting at 10am.

UPDATE: former mayor Mike Tysoe was to have been in the studio with Kat, but the BBC have now decided not to go ahead with that interview.

Later on, BBC South Today will cover the story at 6.30pm before the main event, Panorama at 8.30pm, with their report “Ripped Off? Join the Club”.

The programme summary says: “Panorama investigates a businessman targeting sports and social clubs with offers of financial help that can end up costing them everything.”

Second chance – let OCC know what you think, now!

Tell OCC your views on Chippy’s proposed 20 mph speed limits

Extended deadline – 7 December – the page on the OCC website says the deadline (2nd November) has passed, but you can safely ignore this.

Q: What do you need to do?

A: Read the following, click through to the links and then email your thoughts to OCC (details at the bottom).

Oxfordshire County Council is proposing to introduce a 20mph zone in the centre of Chipping Norton. Your views are important as this will affect safety and traffic in the Town. You can see what is proposed on OCC’s web site under “consultations”,  at https://consultations.oxfordshire.gov.uk/consult.ti/ChippingNorton20mph/consultationHome . The proposed limit covers all five main roads out of town, but only as far as the edge of the town centre and stops short of the narrow part of West St, nor along past The Green/ St Mary’s School, nor by Holy Trinity School nor by Chipping Norton School.

To see just the map of the proposed 20mph zone, click here (PDF).

Because of the short period of notice for the official consultation (deadline was 2 November), OCC have now said they will note all views sent in by 7 December 2018. The comments will be passed onto the Cabinet Member for Environment decisions meeting which has been arranged for 20 December. Members of the public may also apply to OCC to address that meeting.

Who to email or write to:

You need to email comments  to christian.mauz@oxfordshire.gov.uk (quoting ref: CM/12.6.166) or send them by post to Christian Mauz (Technical Officer – Traffic & Road Safety) Oxfordshire County Council, County Hall, New Road, Oxford, OX1 1ND. Tel 0345 310 1111

Flu Clinics for the over 65s – change of dates

Chipping Norton Health Centre has announced that the over 65s should NOT attend the open Flu Clinics on Saturdays 6 & 13 October but instead clinics run specially for them on 27th October and 3rd November.

This is because of a slight delay in obtaining the alternative Flu Vaccine recommended for those 65 and over.

(Please note the change to Sat 27th, not 29th as previously stated, apologies for the error).
