The following sites will provide
you with more information on the
campaign
The
web version of the Sunningwell
Scene : news from the Parish Council
The Highways
Agency has launched a web site in conjunction with the start of
public consultation on the Regional Management Strategy it is developing
for the A34. It can be found here
This site is of particular importance to our campaign as the so
called "Penbridge eco village" will rely totally on the
A34 for its transport links. In particular the provision of south
facing slip roads at the A4183 Junction would be of vital importance
to the proposal and this must be resisted.
Oxford Preservation
Trust have campaigned with great success to preserve the enviroment
in and around Oxford for many years. They are involved in the campaign
to resist the inclusion of development in the Green Belt in the
new structure plan for the county. Their website can be found here
.
South Oxfordshire
District Council are also resisting the inclusion of development
in the Green Belt in the new structure plan for the county. They
have a page on their website giving further details which can be
found here
The Vale of
the White Horse District Council also have a page on their website
with initial reactions to the Wilcox proposal : Proposed
Development At Sunningwell Contrary To Green Belt Policy
The South East
England Regional Assembly has a comprehensive website
and a related site devoted to its development of the South
East Plan
Not everyone
agrees with the establishment of Regional Assemblies:
RegionalAssemblies.co.uk
is an umbrella site for groups resisting Regional Assemblies and
www.south-east-cc.co.uk
is devoted to resisting the South East England Regional Assembly.
Cheshire County
Council have started the ball rolling by anouncing their intention
to quit the NWRA. Tory
controlled Cheshire County Council are about to give a years notice
of their intention to leave the North West Regional Assembly. Neil
Herron (the champion of the North East Referendum) has started a
blog on this subject. If you would like to read the blog and find
a link to the Northwich Guardian which printed this story please

blog on Cheshire Council leaving NWRA .
Locally councils
are changing their attitude to the South East Regional Assembly:
"Tories plot abolition
of SE regional assembly" Wokingham Times, 24/11/04
The Wokingham
Times reported that Wokingham's top councillor plans to get the
South East Regional Assembly to abolish itself at its AGM next March.
Its report included the following:
"Cllr Frank
Browne, Conservative leader of Wokingham District Council, will
be putting forward a motion to get rid of the assembly, claiming
central government's failure to install a regional assembly in the
North East - somewhere the Government expected devolved power to
succeed - proves no one wants regional assemblies." This article
is not online but the District council website has a well argued
statement on the South East Plan consultation here
You may have
noticed that this site, like the Long
Now Foundation, uses five digit dates, the extra zero is to
solve the deca-millennium bug which will come into effect in about
8,000 years. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide counterpoint
to todays "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better"
thinking. They hope to creatively foster responsibility in the framework
of the next 10,000 years.
