    Air Quality Survey

    SODC and Vale of White Horse invite you to have your say on the Draft Air Quality Action Plan 2023-27 for South Oxfordshire and the Vale of White Horse, which outlines the actions we will take to improve air quality in the districts.

    Our action plan includes both area wide actions, which apply to the whole of both districts, as well as actions targeted at specific Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs). Currently, there are six AQMAs in South and Vale: Abingdon, Botley, Marcham, Henley-on-Thames, Wallingford and Watlington.

    This survey will ask you a few questions to find out your views on both area wide and targeted actions.

    We are carrying out a six-weeks consultation which runs from Thursday 15 June to 11.59pm on Thursday 27 July 2023.

    To take part please follow – Air Quality Survey

    What happens next
    Once the consultation has closed, we will analyse the results and comments received and present the updated Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) to our Licensing Committee; we currently expect this to happen in the Autumn of 2023. We will then send the final AQAP to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) for approval. Once it’s approved we will publish full details of the final plan, together with the  consultation summary report, on our websites: South/Vale.

    Waste Services Survey

    SODC Waste Services  have recently launched a survey to find out what residents think about waste and recycling services, this includes household waste, recycling and food waste collections, bulky waste collections, street cleaning services, customer services and the councils’ waste and recycling information.

     

    Speeding through the Village

    After receiving reports of multiple people speeding through the village in the last few days, the council have been in touch with Thames Valley Police to arrange a Speed Camera Van to attend

    This happened earlier today (17/5/23) and will return in the near future.  The neighbourhood team will also be attending in a proactive manner with the hope that speeding through the village can be curbed before a serious accident occurs.

    In the future the speed limit will be lowered to 20mph throughout the village and to assist with this we have been provided with a contact for the Community Speedwatch initiative.

    If you do have any concerns over speeding within the village, please contact the parish council so we can take action.
