It was agreed at the last Council meeting that a litter bin would be installed near Forest Side pavilion on the playing field, in an attempt to reduce the amount of litter found in this area constantly.
Also at this meeting the Council resolved to continue to support Kennington4trade as it has been by using Fairtrade products at all Council events, but also to support Fairtrade in future years by paying for the village hall charges for one of Fairtrade’s annual events.
The Parish Council considered a grant request at its October meeting from Oxfordshire Association for the Blind which was awarded £200.
