Lower Heyford & Caulcott

Parish Council 

Introduction

The Parish Council seeks to look after the interests of the community of Lower Heyford and Caulcott. It deals with the District and County Councils on local issues such as highways, traffic, housing, rights of way and street lighting and it is consulted on all local planning matters.

 

Parish Councils are part of the local government system and work closely with District and County Councils to help ensure that the services in the village are maintained and developed. Representatives from the District and County Council often attend Parish Council meetings.

 

Parish Council meetings are usually held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7.00pm in the King George’s Field Community and Sports Centre, Mill Lane in Lower Heyford. There is no meeting held in August or December. The meetings in February, April, June, and October are put in the diary at the beginning of the year but are cancelled unless there is urgent business to be considered.

 

All villagers are very welcome to attend. The agenda is posted on the website and village notice boards at least three days before the meeting and will confirm the date of the next meeting.

 

If you wish to receive minutes and agendas by e-mail please send an e-mail to the Parish Clerk at: parishclerk.lowerheyford@gmail.com with a note of your name and address and she will send these to you as soon as they are prepared. The minutes of all meetings are posted on the notice boards and also here on the heyford.info website.

 

The Parish Clerk (01869 347000) is the main contact for the PC within the village so please feel free to contact her or send her an e-mail at parishclerk.lowerheyford@gmail.com with any problems/questions you may have that you feel the Parish Council could help you with.

 

The following people are Parish Councillors and are subject to election every four years. Their details are on the notice boards so please do not hesitate to contact any of them if you have any matters that you feel should be brought to the attention of the Parish Council.

James Macnamara 

I am a chartered accountant and retired finance director aged 59, married to Victoria, who hails from Broadwell near Burford, with two children, Louisa and Carroll, who started their education at nursery in Lower Heyford and primary in Steeple Aston, and two steps, Patrick and Archie, who has just begun a DPhil in Oxford. I grew up in London and the Highlands but was educated either side of Lower Heyford in Buckingham (Stowe) and Oxford (New College).

 

Living in the village since 1993, I joined the parish council in the 1990’s and have represented the Astons & Heyfords ward of Cherwell District Council since it was created in 2002. Locally, I serve as a trustee of Dr Radcliffe’s School Trust, as a church warden and PCC member at St Mary’s, Lower Heyford, as a member of the Deanery and Diocesan Synods, and as a magistrate and deputy chairman of the Oxfordshire bench. A former county commander of St John Ambulance, I now chair the Order of St John in Oxfordshire and, after 25 years service in the cavalry and yeomanry, organise the Poppy Appeal for the Heyfords branch of the Royal British Legion. Nationally, I serve as trustee, treasurer or chairman of a range of charities in the ex-service, disability and medical research fields and as a past master of my livery company.

My sons also attended the primary schools at Fritwell and Steeple Aston. More recently I started a pop-up cafe at St Mary’s Church every Thursday morning and have been involved as Secretary and Lower Heyford representative of the Mid Cherwell Neighbourhood Plan Forum.
