In theory he might represent the area, but in practice he clearly doesn’t represent the views of the majority of people who live in the parish.

It’s all about representing himself and raising his own personal profile.

Right from the off he was disingenuous with his claim to be cautiously neutral, he never was, never has been and never will be.

A super spreader of theories, speculation and misinformation.
Couldn't have put it better. The worst councillor in the country.
 
Speaking of FoSB being mis-named perhaps it’s time they had a rebrand reflecting their love of the Triangle…
They are now FoKT.

I was at a Parish Council meeting recently (in Cherwell). A application for 100+ houses was approved a few weeks ago (against the village wishes - the village had good and valid objection reasons ). Before the vote, the Chair of the committee basically said "you should approve this application," (because it will go through on appeal if you don't). CDC cannot afford to lose too many more appeals and for sure they cannot afford to lose on appeal a major planning application. Just saying....
 
That should end the unfounded conspiracy theory that Stratfield Brake was going to become the training ground.

Does that mean OUFCW won't be playing at Oxford City if built?
It says The team currently play in FA WPL Premier Division South but are pushing for promotion into the Barclays Women’s Championship. It is understood that certain facilities are required in order to play at this higher level

The OUFCW playing at city was always going to be temporary, this is our commitment to our women’s team, with them playing their home games at the new stadium also cementing the importance.
 
Is Middleton really contending that the Grey Belt is an invented terms with no basis in policy? Perhaps he might care to familiarise himself with Paragraph 155 of the National Planning Policy Framework and the associated definition in the Glossary. Whether he likes it or not, it's now an established component part of national planning policy aimed at facilitating development on land serving no Green Belt purpose (such as here). Hence, it is very much material to decision-making on our application and is a concept also now firmly embedded in planning appeal decisions. I’m more surprised perhaps that ChatGBT seemingly doesn’t recognise it either.

Giving that a fair few clubs in the women’s super league play at national league grounds then I’d be surprised if Oxford City didn’t meet the required standard.
They would also need to build stands around the pitch/boundary.

That's what I thought
where do they train as they must train at nights so maybe as its having floodlights it's more for training than matches
 
The club want to get a higher category rating for the academy side of things.
To get that, we need a new full length 3G pitch at the training ground.
So it’ll be for that mainly. But to get the floodlights etc there as well, will mean the ladies team could then play matches there etc and saves OUFC paying Oxford City for the use of their facilities

I suspect this is for training facilities much as iirc a 3g pitch is needed for the Academy to develop further.
 
Questions need answering

which will get approved first stadium or training ground?

Will fosb start objecting to this application?

Why cant the women stay where they are

Nice of oufc to push the kids and women out on to contaminated land

Where the bridge

It will cause traffic chaos

It's on green belt

Or they might say nothing as it’s nowhere near their pretend green paradise that is the triangle 🤣
 
I wonder if it will need to increase biodiversity by 2000% and include an orangutan sanctuary, and plant a rainforest to be carbon negative?

Oh hang on, it's within 10 miles of the A34 so will need to be able to withstand a direct hit from a Tsar Bomba hydrogen bomb

even if all that were to happen, I suspect a certain green councillor, his fellow KPC greens plus FoSB chums and Blossom Hill in Tackley would still oppose it
