Antony has been busy sending press releases out to the local media to get their attention about our group and the planned expansion of Hanwell Fields. This has proved very useful as now we are to be interviewed by the Banbury Guardian on Tuesday. I have invited all members along, but just incase you’ve haven’t heard we want to get as many people as possible to join us at the sports ground on Dukes Meadow Drive at 7.00pm for a photo op.
We will continue to hassle as many relevant people as possible to make sure they know we are not happy with the plans.

I put together a flyer and with the help of some volunteers (thanks to John Davis and family, Maggie Watts and her family and of course my wife) we have managed to inform most of the estate of our campaign with a letter drop. Again this has proved fruitful as we now have more members.

Today I have written to the Prime Minister to see if he can at least assess CDC to see if they are breaching some code of practice, regulation or even a law for misleading the public with the housing figures. If CDC were a corporation or even a bank they would be in court now for mis-selling or something similar.

I have been informed today that there could be some quite rare wildlife in the fields, in particular, mating skylarks. Now I may not be a keen twitcher but if this is the case then we  ought to try and get it proved. Other than getting in touch with RSPB, I’m not sure who to contact to get someone in. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Of course this goes along with all the other wildlife in those fields but please don’t try and capture one. We need them in the fields, not in the oven ;-). Other wildlife includes nesting buzzards, wild deer, snakes, badgers, bats and rabbits etc etc. I will investigate further to see if CDC have already done a wildlife and environment analysis on the area. If they have, then perhaps a more thorough one is needed.

Thanks to you all for the support, lets try and get more to join and get involved.

Cheers
