We’re raising £5,000 to install a new boiler in our village hall

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
The hall was built in 1913 for the community. It is a unique building made from local brick and stone and is run by a voluntary Committee. The upkeep of this magnificent building is huge. We are now faced with the replacement of equipment to run the heating system. Over the years the premises have been used for many local activities including meetings, music and dancing, keep fit classes, snooker, darts, senior citizens lunches, film shows, birthdays, weddings, wakes, all sorts of parties - not to mention Midsomer Murders have been filmed there. As the cold weather approaches it is imperative we install a new boiler and appeal to everyone to please help us. I personally have been involved in the running of Nettlebed Village Club for over 40 years, my mother and grandfather before me and therefore am passionate in this building being left for the next generation to benefit from the legacy we have enjoyed for so long. Any help,...

20mph for Nettlebed?

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
Do you think that traffic goes through Nettlebed too fast? If so, this is your chance to do something about it. Recently, Oxfordshire County Council endorsed plans to make it simpler to lower speeds to 20mph in most urban areas and on village streets where it’s supported by residents. Many Nettlebed residents have already shown their support for a reduction in traffic speed with “20’s Plenty” stickers displayed on wheelie bins on the High Street and Watlington Street. Pupils at Nettlebed Community School have also designed their own 20mph posters in support of a reduced speed limit near the school. The County Council needs evidence that this change has strong community support, so to get the views of all residents Nettlebed Parish Council have created a simple survey below - if you haven't already completed the survey or can help a friend/neighbour who would like to respond, please click on the link to let us know what you think: Traffic Survey ...
