There is a General Meeting of the Friends of Old Headington on Weds 11 February at 8pm in the Old Headington Village Hall, Dunstan Road. We are discussing the proposed allocation of part of the Conservation Area, Ruskin Field, for development in the Oxford Local Plan to 2045. All are welcome.

“You know it’s wrong so please move along!” Children and parents at Windmill Primary School and Headington Nursery School staged a protest this morning against inconsiderate and dangerous driving outside school. They cite the volume of cars coming off the ring road and cutting through these streets.

This proposal has significant consequences for Old Headington and for the Northway estate. All welcome on Wednesday 11th February 👇

❗ ANNOUNCEMENT ❗ It's not currently possibly to safely or easily walk the full length of the Lye Valley after some mindless vandal(s) set fire to part of the boardwalk last night. The City Council are aware of the situation, and are visiting today. @headingtonnews.bsky.social

Thank you to all who came to support our Open Gardens event on a hot sunny afternoon yesterday. Income from this event helps the Friends in its support of the Conservation Area, as we have done for over 65 years now. We also support other local charities with aims and objectives similar to our own.

St Andrews Road to be closed 22/4 to 16/5

Great to see all the work done by @oxfordprestrust.bsky.social volunteers at Larkins Lane Fields @oldheadington.bsky.social And gorgeous summer snowflakes.

If you see fire engines on the John Radcliffe Hospital site this evening and next week, please don't worry – our friends at Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue are carrying out training exercises in the vacated Ivy Lane buildings. 🚒👨‍🚒

The Diocese of Oxford is seeking a new Vicar for St Andrew’s Church in Headington: www.oxford.anglican.org/vacancies/vi...

A modern block of flats in Headington may have to be demolished after a planning inspector concluded the original building plans were misleading. The plans mis-stated the height of the music shop next door, such that the final building was built “significantly taller than planned”.

This very morning (6 Jan 2025) the planning inspector dismissed the appeal by Beecher Acoustics relating to the block of houses on the left in Quarry High Street. See Appeal Decision here for details: acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/ViewCase.asp...

Just the lightest dusting of snow here first thing this morning, and even that is already melting. #snow #OxfordshireFens #OX3 @judywebb.bsky.social

Last night in @oldheadington.bsky.social @headingtonnews.bsky.social in Old Headington, Oxford. Quite a Christmas look.

If you weren't able to get to the Headington Quarry Morris Boxing Day appearances, here's some hand-bell ringing and the mighty mummers' play youtu.be/7aKgPBxIBuk #headington #headingtonquarry #hqmd #headingtonquarrymorrisdance #oxford #boxingday

Waiting for the performance at the Six Bells

Excellent piece about how the city council will remove the tiny forest on its land in Northway to make way for an access road if Ruskin College gets planning permission to build homes on its field

There is some Headington-focused Christmas information at the top-right of this page, including bins, buses, morris-dancing, and closures of the two routes through the Parks: www.headington.org.uk/news/today.htm

Would this be the same @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social supporting this project that recently waved through a secret deal to sell the land and destroy Foxwell Drive's Tiny Forest, supported by EarthWatch? @earthwatcheurope.bsky.social @headingtonnews.bsky.social @oldheadington.bsky.social

The lights on the Christmas tree at the central Headington crossroads (outside Treatz) will be switched on by the Lord Mayor this Saturday (30 November 2024). The City of Oxford Choir sings at 4.30pm and the countdown starts at 4.55pm. Refreshments and community singing. More details on this poster

No site without any conservation designation within Oxford City is safe from development. Even some sites with conservation designations are not safe....

Last night Oxford City Council's Scrutiny Committee decided to support the decision made by its Cabinet to allow a road through the “tiny forest” in Foxwell Drive to the Ruskin Fields if development there goes ahead. You can watch the discussion here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjDm...
