This website was created by Tetsworth Parish Council as a means of distributing and sharing information about the Parish Council and its business. The site is expanding into a richer information hub reflecting and supporting the whole of the Tetsworth community; it will bring together news of village organisations and information on those services that are available.
The Parish Council meets at 7.30pm on the second Monday of each month in the Tetsworth Memorial Hall; there is no meeting in August. Members of the public are welcome. To find out more about the Role of the Parish Council please click HERE. The Minutes of previous meetings are posted in the 'Parish Council' area of this site. Parish Council Clerk and RFO: Lin Freeth email: clerk@tetsworthparishcouncil.co.uk phone: 07523 907741 Tetsworth Neighbourhood Development Plan Review
The Tetsworth Neighbourhood Development Plan is being reviewed to ensure that it will align with the new Joint Local Plan that is being prepared by South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils. The Steering Group's meeting records can be found on the Planning page. 
The Patch Play Area Resurfacing Project
The Parish Council plans to replace the current earth and bark surface in the play area with a more durable artificial surface in the spring of 2024. This will remove expenditure on bark and provide a level surface for wheelchairs and buggies. The Council is able to provide half the cost, and has applied for grant funding for the difference. Announcements on the success of these grants is not expected until Feb/Mar 2024 but we can already say that we have secured a grant of £7,600 from the National Lottery Awards For All scheme. Watch this space for more updates. |

Community First Oxfordshire - Parish Transport representative.
Community First Oxfordshire runs a Parish Transport Representative (PTR) network, backed by the County Council, to give communities a means of voicing their needs and concerns about local transport. A PTR is appointed by their local council. Meetings are held three times a year. As a PTR, you would be able to help identify, raise and discuss the transport needs of our community. You would also be a link between our community and the range of organisations and individuals involved in transport provision in the county. If you would be interested in representing Tetsworth as its PTR, please see Parish Transport representatives | Oxfordshire County Council or contact clerk@tetsworthparishcouncil.co.uk for more information. |

VILLAGE INFRASTRUCTURE - UPDATES AND NOTES
Please leave suggestions for future village infrastructure projects.
From previous suggestions:
New benches to replace the 3 metal benches on the green, the one on the Jitty, and the one by the war memorial have been installed.
Two additional dog waste bins have been installed at the entrances from the A40 to Tetsworth Common and Judds Lane.
Funds have been given to the Memorial Hall to help with the refurbishment of the Memorial Hall and to the Primary School towards the refurbishment of its trim trail.
Wicket gates for the entrance to the village from the Milton Common direction have been installed. The proximity of the Stoke Talmage road junction prevents them being from installed at the other end, but an option to locate them further up the A40 is being considered.
Thanks to Owain Devey of Devey Tree Care, the First World War memorial tree, which hadn't taken root, has been replaced free of charge by a sturdier tree, as have two diseased trees near the play area.
Two kissing gates to replace two of the dilapidated stiles on the Oxfordshire Way to the south of the village have been sourced, thanks to the Open Spaces Society and a local farmer, Rob Redman. Their installation is now in the hands of OCC and the Open Spaces Society.
The Parish Council has applied for grant funding to match its own to enable it to replace the bark surface of the play area with a more durable one.
Survey work has been carried out and has established the feasibility of a zebra crossing between the Memorial Hall and the green. It would be too expensive for TPC to fund alone but has been added to the list of projects to be considered by the highways department of the county council. Speed and safety surveys demonstrated the need for a crossing but finding a location that would allow traffic to stop in time, or funds for a more elaborate crossing, has proved difficult.

Tetsworth Village History Project
Putting together a few high level facts about Tetsworth’s past and present to support the village’s Neighbourhood Plan sparked John Gilbert’s interest to undertake far more detailed personal research to compile a comprehensive picture of the village’s history as ‘Tetsworth Through the Ages’. He has recorded the story of what made Tetsworth the place it is today under a series of topical themes and, whilst the document is not intended for publication, John is willing to offer his findings as a free resource to any Tetsworth residents who share his interest in the history of the village. He also plans to offer Tetsworth residents one or perhaps a series of public talks about the evolution of our rural Oxfordshire parish.
