Chairman's Annual Report - Click here to read

We are delighted to announce that, thanks to Oxfordshire County Council, the Shopping Bus service will resume from next week. But at a reduced level because of safeguarding measures. Claire Harwood will allocate seats on a weekly basis in rotation for all regular uses, up to a maximum of six passengers at any one time, depending on interest expressed, and we would ask everyone using the schema to respect her decisions. Anyone new who wishes to join the scheme should get in touch with Claire Harwood on 01491 640805. We hope that the resumption of this much valued free service, made possible by contributions from the parishes of Nettlebed, Swyncombe, Pishill with Stonor and Bix, will please everybody, whether or not you choose to make use of it

A message from your Parish Council.
We are deeply concerned, as is everyone, about the Covid 19 virus and implications for our residents. We are very fortunate to have a wonderfully close community. This is something that many do not have so we are already well placed to support one another. To that end if you are well and can help please can you let us know and we can put you in touch with those who may be self isolating. Please make sure that you do follow the guidelines set down below for contact.

If anyone is self isolating these are the current NHS guidelines https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ which should be followed. If you are self isolating and need help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, dog walking please can you let us know and we will get you the local support you need.

Turning to other local concerns, please do not forget your local businesses at this time. If we do not support them we will lose them in the long term and being a small local community these are services that we can ill afford to lose.

Please look after yourselves and your neighbours. Please let me know if anyone needs help, we will be there for you.
