There can be few experiences as disheartening and utterly deflating as floating back to your car after some marvellously therapeutic shopping trip, laden with parcels and shopping bags, to find a black and yellow parking notification attached to your windscreen, like some enormous striped stinging hornet - and certainly having a stinging effect on your wallet too.
It could spoil anyone’s day - but don't let it! Don't panic, don’t curse and don't waste any time before getting to grips with the problem.
The Citizens Advice website has a useful section which you should consult: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/parking-tickets/
If you think the ticket was justified (and let’s face it, some of them are), one option is to pay the fine right away, thus getting a substantial discount:
50% if you pay a Penalty Charge Notice or Excess Charge Notice within 14 days
40-60% if you pay a Parking Charge Notice within 14 days
If you think that you were parked correctly and within the rules, or there were mitigating...

I am looking through old inherited photos and have a number that belonged to my great aunt of people I don’t have any personal connection with, but the family seems to have lived in Nettlebed - possibly early in the 20th century and definitely in 1911. I wondered if it might be possible for you to ask if the family has any relatives still in the area who I might be able to forward the photos to as I am unable to keep them much longer.
The family surname is Patterson, and there were three daughters: Rosamund, Linda and Betty. I attach a sample of the photos - please share if you wish. I have others too. I believe, from an Ancestry record, that one of them may have died in Banbury in 1969 (or possibly their mother?). It would be very much appreciated if you could share this message and let me know of any feedback?
Many thanks...

New grants to help voluntary groups
The council has launched a pilot grants scheme to give voluntary groups the chance to apply for grants to support them to recruit volunteers.
Community groups have told us that one of the biggest obstacles they face when trying to attract volunteers is finding money to meet training, transport and insurances costs, so we've set aside £25,000 to provide financial support.
Small voluntary groups can apply for a grant of between £250 and £750 to help cover costs.
The grant scheme is being trialled and could be extended in the future, depending on its success in helping to improve the district's voluntary sector.
