A Crowmarsh community celebration – Sunday 5th June 2022

It is proposed that:

  • The lunch event is from 12.30. The main entertainment will continue up to 4.30.

  • There will be various items for sale, for the benefit the local organisations that sell them:

    • Cakes and hot/cold drinks – local church
    • Ice cream and lollies – School PTA

  • Please bring along a picnic and blanket/chairs. Some Marquees, tables and chairs will be provided for inclement weather.
  • The car park will be closed and used for entertainment, including Bouncy castles, swing boats and large patio type games.
  • As we have no idea of how many will attend, it would be helpful if you could email Sue Rance on [email protected] if you currently hope to, to give us an idea of numbers. Please let her know if this changes. This would also allow Sue to update you with any updates on the event.
  • Please also let Sue know if you would be available to help put up and take down marquees or setting up table, chairs etc. on the 4th and 5th
  • If you have any large-scale games such as Jenga, or 4 in a row you would be willing to lend for the event please let Sue know.
  • In the evening there will be a Barn Dance. A band with a caller has been booked. This will be a ticketed event on a first come first served basis, due to a limit on numbers in the hall. Please note all those that have e-mailed Sue Rance to say they will be attending the lunch will be sent details and prices first, in due course. Until then bookings cannot be made.

We really hope you will be able to come and take part in this local event to help make it a special occasion. Please note it in your diary and let Sue Rance know if you hope to attend.

The event is being organised on behalf of Crowmarsh Parish Council.

We had intended to commence the Statutory Regulation 14 Consultation process at the end of March. However, we have been advised by the Local Planning Authority to postpone doing this in order to ensure that those who are at increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus (COVID-19) are given a fair opportunity to engage in the process, and also to allow hard copy material to be made available to those without access to the internet.

If you wish to submit comments on the Plan In the meantime, please send them by email to the Parish Clerk at [email protected]. Your comments will be held over until such time as the Regulation 14 Consultation has taken place. We are particularly interested in suggestions that will strengthen the Plan.

  1. I would just like to point out that recent planning applications and aprovals may well be in breach of the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986, around Crowmarsh; the land designated Newnham Manor Farm and 100 metres of its boundaries may well be designated a protected area under the terms of the act. Any interference within the protected area may well breach the terms of the act and lead to prossecution. The MoD along with John Howell MP have been informed.
    It is up to those who intend to disturb a site to ensure that they are not in breach of the act; ignorance in the eyes of the law is no defence.
    Due to the nature of the site any interference within the area would also need the Health and Safety Executive to take action.

  2. i request for the apparently now ready Crowmarsh Neighbourhood Plan to be delivered to all residents of Crowmarsh Gifford for consideration. Some of the residents are totally unaware of it. We live in a democratic society and as we were told by SODC recently ,the plan has to be put to a referendum before it is sent to the Inspectorate. We have also noticed some misinformation re. CRO7 site,which has AONB and heritage constraints. The crossing and road layout of A4074 Port Way together with Cox’s Lane is not yet sorted out as suggested in the Plan.

    All residents in the Parish ,especially those who haven’t got access to Internet, have a right to receive a copy of the proposed neighbourhood plan.

    Please send copies of the plan to all residents promptly.

    1. Hi A.Durbidge
      Thanks for your comment. As we, the website, are not directly affiliated with the council, I would advise you to contact the email addresses listed at the bottom of this post directly.

      Best wishes,
      Rob

  3. I think development plans for Crowmarsh Gifford village community should be more integrated and informed by sustainable thought. When I read through your plans I see Crowmarsh village trying to locate development as far away from the village as possible with little thought as to how this is going to sit within the parish area as a whole. Crowmarsh is situated a hundred yards from Wallingford with its excellent shopping and public transport links. Current sites at Cabi and Mongewell don’t have paved access to either Crowmarsh or Wallingford, aren’t on mains sewage, gas and drainage, have awkward road access, have a big impact on AoNB in which both are firmly located, and are Level 3 on your Flood Plain plan. The reasons to reduce development in Crowmarsh village apply equally, if not more so, to Newnham Murren, Mongewell and North Stoke.
