The Patch Play Area Resurfacing Project
As you will have seen, the Patch has its new surface! We secured grants of £18,749 from South Oxfordshire District Council, £7,600 from the National Lottery Awards For All scheme and £3,000 locally from the Cozens Bequest, formal thanks for which must wait until after the election. Watch this space! 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. |

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 [email protected] for more information. |

VILLAGE INFRASTRUCTURE - UPDATES AND NOTES
Please leave suggestions for future village infrastructure projects.
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 by the village nameplate at the other end, but an option to locate them further up the A40 has been costed. Hopefully, this can be implemented during 2024.
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 Patch play area bark surface has been replaced with a more durable and accessible one.
To better enable it to support our Emergency Plan in concert with Oxfordshire County Council, a backup generator is being installed at the Tetsworth Sports and Social Club so that it can act as a refuge in the event of a large-scale power outage. The SSEN Resilient Communities Fund has provided £10,000 towards this and there have been generous grants from both our SODC and OCC Councillors Priority Funds. The Parish Council will provide the residue of the funding required.
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.
The implementation of a 20mph speed limit through the village has been approved in principle, but its implementation must wait for the outcome of consultations between OCC, TPC and the bus company.

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.
