The 15 locations short-listed for the first new towns in England in 40 years have been revealed by the government on 3rd April 2008. It included the site by Weston On The Green known as Weston Otmoor . This is very bad news for the long-term future of the village.
Some visual comments on the Parkridge proposal for an eco-town close to Weston on the Green....
* On Wednesday 23rd April in the Memorial Hall there was the third follow-up meeting of the Weston Front. Turn out was fantastic -- more than 200 people -- and the progress so far was outlined. Oxford County Council and District Council were both represented and expressed their opposition to the Weston Otmoor proposal. My web-site for further info and links :
Further information will be circulated and put up on the web-site. The official web-site of the Weston Front campaign can be found here.

* On Sunday 9th November 2007 the first men's village football team since 18 years ago ( I believe) took to the field against a team of representatives from Triple Eight Race Engineering Ltd for a competitive game. The Village team was made up of players ranging in age from 19 years to 50+ yrs, so a good spread of community relationships going on.
I am pleased to say that Weston on the Green performed outstandingly well as well as organised, thereby clinching an 8 - 2 victory. The game was refereed by Jack Cole (1st half) and Toby Cole (2nd half), two young lads who live in North Lane. Captain for Weston on the Green was Ben Crumell who lives in Knowle Lane.
We will be playing again sometime in the New Year hopefully.

News from October 2007 :
On Tuesday 9th October 2007 there was a Public Parish Meeting called by petition of parishioners to discuss the closing of the gates on the Playing Field and perfunctory posting of notices for the banning of dog on the Playing Field. 15 Parishioners voted by majority that the Parish Council should reverse these unacceptable actions.
Councillor Robin Stafford Allen turned up, and also the Chairman, who chaired it. Councillor Barnett conveyed apologies for absence but no the other Councillors attended.
The Parish Council then met on Wednesday 10th October (the next night) and chose not to act on the wishes of the Parish Meeting of the day before.

The Play-ground was opened on Saturday 21st April 2007 by Harley Simpson, a young person from the village. Read about the latest developments.... Play..
