The government has created some handy graphics to make it easier to digest the different steps of a 'Road Map' out of lockdown; they are attached here: https://mcusercontent.com/c90a1a7b6d1f693a28c947f92/files/0b6f0040-63cd-44a1-9796-69162f3a17cb/Road_map_steps_1_to_4.docx

Working party required Saturday 27th February at 10am in Upper Common Lane
Tomorrow, 27th February, the Parish Council would like to plant the 120 hedging whips kindly donated by the Woodland Trust this winter. We started this project last year, planting from the stile, and the ground has now been prepared to continue the double hedge line down the lane. Offers of help on 27th would be much appreciated - please bring a spade and trowel, wear wellies, and be prepared to get muddy! Planting instruction will be given.
Speed Reduction in Uffington
Some of you will have noticed 4 'bare' metal poles which have been erected on Broad Street and some of the approach roads to the village. These poles are to support the new vehicle activated sign (VAS) which has been purchased with a combination of OCC County Councillor's Priority Fund, OCC Communities and Parish Council funds following our failed bid to secure funds from the 'Active Travel' initiative last year.
The VAS will be moved between poles on a random basis as this has been shown to create a more effective deterrent to speeding. As well as showing a smiley or angry face, the VAS will record vehicle speeds for further analysis and assist in identifying locations and times where and when police or volunteer mobile speed cameras may be deployed.
