We have launched a consultation on our second Joint Local Plan.

A local plan sets out how development will be planned and delivered over time to meet the current and future needs of people living and working in a particular area. It guides where development should go (and where is shouldn’t) including new housing and employment, as well as identifying the supporting infrastructure needed.

This stage of the process, known as a ‘scoping consultation’ is the first opportunity to share your view on what the plan should include and how we should approach future engagement. It doesn’t include any proposed policies or strategies for the plan as we are at such an early stage in the plan making process.

The consultation runs until Tuesday 29 September. Find out more and take part here: https://orlo.uk/JLP2-scoping_aj7v4

Installation of new information and visitor signage across Didcot has started this week to help connect communities and encourage walking and cycling across the town.

There are 49 new signs in total which will include totems and waymarkers which will be placed across Didcot including Ladygrove and Great Western Park.

The signs are part of the Didcot Garden Town wayfinding strategy and have been funded by £50,000 in CIL (developer contributions) from Oxfordshire County Council and government funding allocated to the Didcot Garden Town programme.

There's more information about the signs in our press release: https://orlo.uk/wVKzc

Small changes really can make a big difference.
Rather than spending lots of money on something you may only use once why not see if you can borrow it instead?
A household tool? A party kit? A pressure washer?
Borrowing from a friend, neighbour or Library of Things =
£££ saved.
Less waste.
Less clutter.
More space at home.

Small changes really can make a big difference.
You don't have to do everything...
Start with just one small change this week - it could create a habit that lasts a lifetime.

On your next trip to a supermarket, why not try to choose fruit or veg without packaging. It’ll help to ensure you only buy what you need (which could save you money) and help to prevent unnecessary waste.
