Stanford in the Vale Parish Council has a long held desire to create a strategic network of rural footpaths that would encompass the village. Whilst it is unlikely that we would be able to secure such a route through land acquisition(s), we are actively working with landowners & their agents, seeking ways to deliver any additional segments as the opportunity permits. Where such agreements are linked to new development, there may well be a delay (in some cases for several years) before the new footpath segment is available for public use. We would therefore urge you to respect the existing footpath network, keeping your pet on a lead and clearing up after them and appreciate that there is no public access to aspirational segments until such time as we advise otherwise.

A map outlining both existing, and aspirational public rights of way can be found below.

HM Government has introduced two transparency codes, which apply to "larger councils" (with a turnover above £200,000) and "smaller councils" (with a turnover not exceeding £25,000). Stanford in the Vale Parish Council turnover is slightly above that to be classed as a Smaller Council, nevertheless, we aim to comply with the requirements of the Transparency Code.

Under changes introduced by Vale of White Horse District Council during 2018, all new development within the district will be subject to CIL charges. A proportion of this charge (from development within the parish) is availble for the Parish Council to invest in local infrastructure to support the needs of our growing community. Whilst the formal "Section 123" list is published and maintained by the District Council, in the interests of transparency, Stanford in the Vale Parish Council maintains our own infrastructure list, which can be found below.

Whilst still to be confirmed, Oxfordshire County Council are provisionally expecting to have to make additional savings, totalling somewhere in the region of £50 million for the forthcoming financial year, on top of all the savings that have been made annually since 2010.

Details of the county's current consultations can be seen online here.

Alternatively, a PDF containing details of their current proposals to find these savings can be downloaded by clicking here

We are actively campaigning to retain as many local services as possible, as well as challenging the County Council (both their officers and councillors) where the justifications/business cases presented do not add up. Please be aware that the County Council's position in various areas is still emerging and can be subject to change. For ease, we will include our consultation responses here - if you feel strongly regarding the necessity of a particular service, then please contact your County Councillor, Cllr. Melinda Tilley. Please do bear in mind that the County Council must deliver a balanced budget, suggestions as to how they could better prioritise their spending/cuts may assist the County Council in reaching decisions that are better for all concerned, rather than simply campaigning to retain a particular service.
