To receive correspondence from Oxfordshire County Council.

The Council received and considered the correspondence from Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) in respect of the Notice of landowner deposits under section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980 and section 15A(1) of the Commons Act 2006.

The Town Clerk also brought Members attention to some correspondence she had received earlier that day from another Parish Council on a notice in its parish.

Members discussed the notification and considered if Witney Town Council was the correct organisation to submit an application to register the land as a town green noting that it had 12 months to respond. West Oxfordshire District Council had recently completed an arrangement on a neighbouring piece of land so they may be better placed.

Members agreed to refer to the Climate, Biodiversity and Planning committee to discuss further.

Resolved:

1.      That, the correspondence is noted and,

2.      That, referred to Climate, Bio-diversity & Planning committee.
