Deep Cleanse – Vale of White Horse District Council has organised a deep cleanse in Kennington from 16 – 22 October. This will involve litter picking, sweeping and removing weeds/moss from pavements. The team will cover as much of the village as possible, but the council has asked them to focus on Poplar Grove, Meadow View Rd and Otters Reach.
Reminder for dog owners – Residents have reported several incidents where dogs at the playing fields have caused worry or distress to other members of the public, particularly young children. Please ensure that your dog is under control, so the playing fields can be enjoyed by all.
Remembrance Day – The council would like to invite you to join our Remembrance Day parade on Sunday 10th November. Please assemble by the War Memorial by 10.45am for a short service, which is continued afterwards in St Swithun’s Church.
Anti-Idling Campaign – Kennington Parish Council is supporting the South and Vale District Councils’ anti-idling campaign – if you are stopped for a minute or more, please turn off your engine for cleaner air.
Grants – The council has awarded a grant of £250 to Oxford Association for the Blind towards their work with blind and partially sighted people.
Electric Blanket Testing – You can arrange to have your electric blanket tested for free this month. To book your safety check appointment, please call 01865 895999 Option 1 or email
