UNSUSPECTING elderly people in Abingdon have handed over £25,000 to telephone scammers posing as police officers, fraud investigators or bank employees over the last three weeks. They were conned out of their savings after being convinced to give envelopes of cash to couriers when told it was necessary for them to work undercover to expose fraud or because their bank accounts had been compromised. One woman victim was convinced by the offenders to buy two expensive Rolex watches from a jeweller’s and give them to a man who called at her door. Detective Sergeant Francesca Jarvis, based at Abingdon Police Station, said: “The offenders are very plausible and target honest and upstanding members of the community. “Unfortunately, they target vulnerable people, including the elderly. “I would urge everyone to remain vigilant and ensure you, your friends and family, know what to do should someone attempt this fraud.

By Alex Ballinger “Take a moment to discuss it with loved ones to prevent yourself and people you know from becoming a victim of these types of scams.” The victim who handed over the watches to the scammers had bought them from Goldsmiths Jewellers in the Clarendon Centre in Oxford city centre at about 4pm on Wednesday, December 23, and at 10am on Thursday, December 24. The man who collected them from her home is described as being Asian, in his 30s, 5ft 4in tall, of slim build, with short dark hair and a black beard. He was wearing a white zip-up jacket. Det Sgt Jarvis said: “She may have been watched as she went to the jeweller’s and I would like to speak to anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area at these times to get in touch.” Some of the victims hung up on the callers to try to call their banks, but the fraudsters would VË Í ÖjÄË Ë¬?~jËÏË

OXFORD: The first phase of construction for two new buildings on the Oxford Brookes University Gipsy Lane site was given the go-ahead last Wednesday night. Plans would see the demolition of the main hall and lecture theatre, to be replaced by a new main hall. Work is due to start this month and will see buildings reclad to match the style of the John Henry Brookes Building.

OXFORD’S Central Library is set to move to the nearby Castle Quarter next month whilst their existing location undergoes a complete transformation as part of the £440million redevelopment of the Westgate Shopping Centre. The frontage of the library will be replaced to become part of the Westgate’s new curving wall entrance to the centre. Once complete, the upgraded library will feature a new foyer, refurbished and extended children’s section and new windows with views over Bonn Square and Castle Street. The library will close on February 27 whilst the work takes place, and will re-open temporarily for 18 months in a smaller location at the end of March until the renovated centre is completed next October.

they are taking the ‘unusual’ step of seeking independent advice and are consulting with residents of the blocks over the plans after a local Tory group opposed the charges.

Minister’s record WANTAGE: MP for Wantage and Minister for Culture Communications and Creative Industries Ed Vaizey has become the longest-serving arts minister, breaking the previous record of more than five-and-a-half years. Mr Vaizey overtook Baroness Jennie Lee last Tuesday, having held the position for ﬁve years and seven months. He said of the news: “I’m thrilled to have matched Jennie Lee’s record term in ofﬁce, not least because this was the job that I always wanted if I was lucky enough to serve in Government.”

these ridiculous charges.” The association was launched on Monday and is chaired by Stefan Piechnik, who owns a flat at Plowman’s Tower. City council board member for housing, Mike Rowley, said: “We have taken the unusual step of seeking independent advice as to the reasonableness of our charges to ensure that the ultimate contribution to be made by leaseholders is fair.”

Oxford doctors join strike DOZENS of junior doctors picked up their placards and manned picket lines at Oxford’s John Radcliffe (JR) Hospital on Tuesday to oppose new contracts which would mean more seven-day services. A nationwide 24-hour strike started at 8am and saw around 37,000 doctors across the country walk out for the fi rst time in 40 years. The row revolves around Health Minister Jeremy Hunt’s plans to run more hospital services during weekends. Chairman of the junior doctors committee at the British Medical Association, Johann Malawana, said: “Junior doctors feel that they have been left with no option but to take this action. “We have been clear throughout this process that we want to negotiate a contract that is safe and fair. “The Government must address our concerns around safe working patterns and

ensure the contract recognises the long, intense and unsocial hours which junior doctors do.” Negotiations for pay increases between junior doctors and the Government were paused last week and ministers offered an 11 per cent pay rise, but this was deemed insufficient to stop the planned action. Non-urgent operations and outpatient appointments at the JR were rescheduled and patients affected were offered alternative times. Director of clinical services at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - which runs the hospital - Paul Brennan said: “We regret that the two sides have yet to reach an agreement at a national level and we are very sorry for the inconvenience this is causing to our patients.” Further action is planned for Wednesday, February 10 if talks remain unsuccessful.

Plans condemned to use Green Belt for housing COUNCILLORS have called plans for up to 900 homes on Green Belt land in north Abingdon ‘outrageous’ after developers submitted a screening opinion request last year. The development would go on land in the parishes of Radley and Sunningwell, south of Lodge Hill and east of the A34, and would include sports pitches, a primary school and open space. The councillors called the application premature as the emerging Vale of White Horse Local Plan 2031, which includes 800 homes on the site, as well as a further 200 north-west of Abingdon, has not been ratified. Councillor Bob Johnston, who sits on the Vale council, Oxfordshire County Council and Radley Parish Council, said: “To put forward such an application at this time is outrageous.

By Alex Ballinger “The screening application is premature to say the least. We haven’t had the second part of the [Local Plan] examination in public. Some of all of the sites might be excluded by the inspector.” The fi rst public examination of the plan by Government planning inspector Malcolm Rivett took place last September, with the second stage set to take place between February 2 and 19. A screening opinion allows the council to decide if an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is needed to determine the effect a development would have on a site. The Vale ruled last month that an EIA for the 800-home development would be needed.

District councillor for Sunningwell, Debby Hallett, said: “I’m against development in the Green Belt. We should not be developing there. “The Green Belt prevents coalescence between the villages, towns and Oxford city and it’s doing a good job of that. “Having a Green Belt is also

meant to encourage development on brownfield sites.” On the screening request, Richard Burke, of developers CEG, said: “This will allow us to undertake detailed technical work to show the site is sustainable and deliverable. “This will provide the inspector conducting the Local Plan

Police have issued the following guidance to people: Your bank will never send a courier to your home; your bank and the police will never collect your bank card; your bank will never ask for your PIN; if you want to call your bank, do so using another telephone; if you have handed over any details to fraudsters, contact your bank immediately and cancel your cards; if you receive one of these calls, end it immediately. Report calls to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or pass information to the police on 101.

Rated excellent ABINGDON: Abingdon School and Abingdon Prep School have been rated ‘excellent’ following an inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in November last year. The reports on the independent boys boarding Abingdon School in Park Road and Abingdon Prep School in Kingston Road, Frilford, were published last Monday.

Migrant talk ABINGDON: A meeting to discuss the European migrant crisis is due to be held in at St Ethelwold’s House in East St Helen Street later this month. The event, which is open to the public, has been organised by the Fellowship of St Ethelwold and will be held at the spiritual centre on January 26 at 7pm.

A second fraudster would then take over the conversation pretending to be a bank worker and repeating the same story. In another instance, one of the victims was persuaded into transferring cash from her bank account to another set up by the scammers. Two of the other couriers involved in the scams are described as being male, Asian, late 20s, slim, less than 6ft tall, and speaking with an English accent, and male, Asian, in early 30s, 5ft 10ins tall and over-

The application was submitted on January 5, and a target decision date of March 1 has been set by the council.

Didcot leader ‘forgot’ about budget meeting THE leader of Didcot Town Council has been accused of bringing ‘a lack of leadership’ to the council after it was claimed he ‘forgot’ to turn up for a vital meeting. Charlie Robertson was scheduled to attend the council’s fi nance and general purposes committee at Didcot Civic Hall on Monday night, where the budget was due to be agreed ahead of a full council meeting later that evening. However, Cllr Robertson did not attend and following fellow councillors Tony Harbour being taken ill and Steve Connell sending his apologies ahead of the meeting, there was not enough members present to put the budget forward. And Labour councillor Margaret Davies has claimed that Cllr Robertson forgot about the earlier meeting. She added: “What this shows is a complete lack of leadership. “We have to set a budget, it’s one of the core requirements of running a council and we’ve

failed, yet again. This now means the council must decide upon a budget at a meeting of the committee on January 25 - the latest possible point it can do so. The council had previously failed to decide on a budget last month after last-minute plans to make amendments to the figures were waved away. Cllr Robertson said: “Unfortunately the fi nance and general purposes committee were not quorate for the proposed budget meeting.”

Police mental health pilot reduces detainee numbers AN INNOVATIVE pilot scheme in Oxfordshire has been hailed by police for reducing the number of detained mental health sufferers by almost 40 per cent. The Oxfordshire Street Triage scheme was launched on New Year’s Eve 2013 and sees officers working side-by-side with mental health professionals to support members of the public suspected of having a mental health crisis. The trial ran for one year and saw the number of people detained under the Mental Health Act fall from 185 in 2013 to 112 in 2014. Mental health lead for Thames Valley Police, Inspector Jan Penny, said “The most important result of this is that people who are vulnerable from a mental health crisis receive a much more appropriate and professional service. “A successful future for mental health triage will see people with mental ill health being

Crowd-funding bid to expand Fairytale Farm A COUPLE who set up the UK’s first visitor attraction for disabled children are hoping to expand the facility. Nick Laister and his wife Nicola opened Fairytale Farm, in Southcombe, near Chipping Norton, in 2013 to give young people and their families a chance to enjoy rural activities designed around their needs. The couple were inspired by their daughter Olivia, 18, who has cerebral palsy, to create an attraction she could have enjoyed alongside her brothers Guy, 22, and James, 15, and sister Grace, 11. Now the family want to add new facilities to Fairytale Farm as part of a two-year project, but need £91,500 to fund the plans. From February 1 to March 31, they hope to raise the cash through ‘crowdfunding’ – an initiative whereby businesses and individuals raise fi nance by asking lots of people for a small amounts of money. Mr Laister said: “Fairytale Farm is the fi rst mainstream visitor attraction where everything has been designed for children with disabilities - but

By Jayne Smith that can be enjoyed by everybody - and where no pre-booking is required. “We have achieved a phenomenal amount since the Prime Minister, David Cameron, cut the ribbon in 2013, but there is a lot more to do and we need your help to achieve it.” Plans include creating two new interactive themed areas based on fairies and dinosaurs, installing interactive sound systems on the Enchanted Walk and adding activity panels that can be turned, touched and make noise.

The project also includes new toilets, a raised sandpit for wheelchair users and an indoor animal handling. Investors will receive a range of benefits including lifetime passes, animal keeper experiences, and their names will be immortalised on a fairy tale tree of names which will be part of the farm’s sensory trail. Mr Laister said: “We can’t take Fairytale Farm to the next level without this funding - £91,500 means that we can introduce these important new attractions and facilities that will significantly improve our visitors’ experience.”

Boys relish mascot duty for United’s big cup tie TWO boys had the thrill of being mascots in the match which saw Oxford United knock Premier League side Swansea out of the FA Cup. As United fans were celebrating the win, Luke Deeley, eight, and Jake Bartlett, seven, were watching themselves on the news. The pair, who both attend Bicester’s Bure Park Primary School, were given the “fantastic opportunity” to be Oxford United mascots. The day included a tour of the Kassam Stadium, a chance to meet players, and warm up on the pitch with players from both United and Swansea. But the most memorable part was walking on to the pitch with the players in front of more than 11,600 supporters. Jake said: “I had an awesome day, my favourite part was walking through the tunnel on to the pitch and shaking

everyone’s hand.” Luke said: “I had a really good fun day, I enjoyed meeting the players and the game was really good. When I got home I watched the game again and saw myself on TV.”

Grand unveiling for East Hagbourne sport pavilion DIDCOT’S MP Ed Vaizey officially opened a £415,000 sports pavilion at the East Hagbourne Recreation Ground in Great Mead last Saturday after construction work on the scheme was finally completed. The culture minister gave a speech after unveiling the building, which has been in use by the community for a year. The pavilion provides three sports changing rooms, a large community room to accommodate up to 60 people, a small kitchen and 24 car parking spaces. About 60 people attended the ceremony at 12.30pm that also saw the unveiling of a commemorative plaque. Mr Vaizey said at the ceremony: “I am thrilled and honoured to have been asked to open the East Hagbourne

A 51-YEAR-OLD man has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for historic sex offences against children in Oxfordshire. Neil Davenport, of Ramsbury Avenue, Penhill, Swindon, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court last Wednesday. He was found guilty after a three-day trial by a unanimous jury on three counts of indecent assault on a child under 13 and one count of gross indecency with a child. Detective Constable Maria Griffiths, of the Abingdon Paedophile Online Investigation Team, said: “I would like to commend the bravery of both victims in these cases for coming forward to the police to tell us what Davenport did to them. “Thames Valley Police will always investigate reports of this nature and work to secure a conviction.” Davenport indecently assaulted a girl and incited her to perform acts of gross indecency in the early 1980s. He was also sentenced to

Meeting cost BICESTER: Town councillors have agreed to pick up the tab for cutting back grass and vegetation on verges to the tune of £18,000. The service was previously provided by Oxfordshire County Council. But last year in a bid to cut costs the county council reduced the number of times it cut back grass from ﬁve to two. Bicester Town Council and Cherwell District Council funded the extra work last summer.

AN OXFORDSHIRE health watchdog has said it will remain effective as it is set to become a charity in an attempt to raise £100,000 following budget cuts. Healthwatch Oxfordshire’s board of directors agreed the move at a meeting held last November, and the group aims to complete the conversion by June 1. The organisation exists to hold hospitals and care providers in the region to account, but Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) is due to cut almost one third of Healthwatch Oxfordshire’s budget. Head of projects at the watchdog, Carol Moore, said: “To help lessen the impact, we’ve been looking at ways to work differently. “It means we’ll be able to do less than we’re doing now. We’ll be likely to lose a member of staff. We do three major projects a year. That may go down to one.” The organisation has six members of staff and operates as a community interest company, which means it is liable for corporation tax.

By Alex Ballinger As a charity, Healthwatch would get tax breaks and would be able to apply for grants and funding elsewhere. The county council’s cabinet member for health, Hilary Hibbert-Biles, said: “It is essential for the public to have an independent health scrutiny body. “I think obtaining a charitable status is an excellent way forward to support future funding.” The county council is due to approve its budget next month which would implement the cuts - and Healthwatch Oxfordshire would be forced to fi nd £50,000 savings a year in 2016 and 2017. The savings form part of the council’s attempts to cut £290million from its budget by 2018. Last month, county council leader Ian Hudspeth announced the council would also need to save a further £70m by 2020 due to cuts from Government. Council spokesman Chris Birdsall said: “As the commissioner of this service, we support Healthwatch taking action to improve their financial position.”

Work starts to repair culvert carrying river beneath town ROADWORKS are underway in Abingdon’s Stert Street to reinforce a culvert carrying an underground river beneath the town. Barriers were erected along the street in 2011 to prevent heavy vehicles from causing further damage to the structure below. The work started on January 6 and are due to continue until March 2. Abingdon Town Council leader Sandy Lovatt: “They’ll have to resolve it or cars will be falling into the ditch.” Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for the work, which will see the underground arch reinforced. When the work is fi nished, the barriers should be removed. The culvert is believed to date back to the 12th Century. The river flows through Boxhill Wood, beneath Stert Street before entering the Abbey Mill Stream next to Abingdon Bridge. The tunnel has to be regularly cleared of debris to ensure water can flow down to the Thames so properties upstream are not flooded. Cllr Lovatt added: “I think they’re still examining it. They have to make sure it’s safe to work down there.”

speed humps with fellow Bicester councillors Michael Waine and Lawrie Stratford, said they were “ill thought out”. He said: “I think they are going to create a lot more noise and it’s going to be really hazardous for drivers to negotiate that part of town. “I’m hoping there’s going to be an avalanche of complaints and they will be forced to remove them.” He said the way the speed humps had been laid – close to the centre of the road - forced drivers towards oncoming traffic. A spokesman for Oxfordshire County Council said: “The new speed humps in Middleton Stoney Road have been fi nanced by developer funding, not public funds. “If drivers obey the speed limit, the humps are safe to use and will not create any noise. “We’re assessing the potential for an off-carriageway shared-use facility for pedestrians and cyclists on the north side of Middleton Stoney Road. “This is still in the early stages of being scoped out and funding has yet to be secured.”

Work begins on £360,000 café in Garth Park upgrade WORK to build a new café in Bicester’s award-winning Garth Park has begun. Bicester Town Council is transforming the park to the tune of £360,000. A £200,000 café is being built on the footings of the former eco town show-house, which was based in the park for several years, while a further £160,000 has been spent on new modern play facilities. Groundwork started last week and the main café building is being constructed offsite in Milton Keynes. It will be transported to Bicester and assembled on-site. The café is expected to host activities including mother and baby sessions, reading groups and craft workshops. Chairman of the environment committee Lynn Pratt said the work marked a big investment in new facilities by the town council.

She said: “We did a survey amongst people at the Teddy Bear’s Picnic in 2014 and what they said they wanted to see in the park was a café and rejigged play area. “The play equipment was a bit antiquated and needed bringing up to date.” “I am really pleased both of these projects are coming to fruition. “The café work has just started and we are hoping that will be open at Easter.”

Traffic lights to stay until roundabout work finishes TEMPORARY traffic lights in Islip are to remain in place while a £10million improvement scheme to the Cutteslowe and Wolvercote roundabouts is carried out. Oxfordshire County Council installed the lights either side of the bridge over the River Ray last month for a trial period due to concerns over pedestrian safety. Council officers announced on Monday that the lights were to stay in place until this November following the trial period. David Nimmo Smith, cabinet member for transport at the council, said: “The work that we are doing on the roundabouts has resulted in the amount of traffic travelling through Islip and over the bridge increasing by 20 per cent. “After a number of visits from county council officers and representatives of Thames Valley Police, we have decided that the lights should remain in place with their performance under regular review until the work fi nishes.” The traffic lights will be removed when work at the roundabout is completed, according to the council.

Lack of consent delays £14m hospital pipeline WORK on an energy pipeline between Oxford’s John Radcliffe (JR) Hospital and Churchill Hospital has been suspended, as it does not have planning permission. Contractors Vital Energi announced last Wednesday that it had stopped work on the Hospital Energy Project after receiving a letter from Oxford City Council urging them to submit an application ‘at the earliest opportunity’. The £14.8million scheme, which started on Monday, was

By Alex Ballinger due to take 18 months to complete and would see around 1.3 miles of pipework laid. Project development director at Vital, Ashley Malin, said: “We have received correspondence from the local planning authority of Oxford City Council of the energy link which we are currently investigating further. “Works associated with the energy link underground utility services and the formation of the service trench have been

VË8 Á ËMj ~ËW?ÁÁ jaË ÖÍË ËÍ jËÄ ÍjËË

suspended whilst discussions with the local planning authority continue.” The scheme is designed to improve the energy efficiency of both hospitals and includes laying insulated water pipes and a communication cable to improve data transfer. Boilers and lighting at the JR and Churchill are also be upgraded. The letter to Vital by the council’s head of planning and regulatory services, Patsy Dell, said: “Our position is that planning permission appears necessary for the proposed works and I would urge you and the trust to address this situation by the submission of a full planning application at the earliest opportunity.” The letter also suggested Vital seeks an urgent screening opinion to assess the environmental impact of the work. Six months of roadworks in Headington were scheduled for the project. The pipework was due to follow a route along Woodlands Road, Sandfield Road, London Road, Latimer Road, All Saints Road, Stapleton Road and Old

Road, fi nishing at the Churchill Hospital in Churchill Drive. City councillor for Headington, Ruth Wilkinson, said: “We have concerns that if work is suspended, then we want to get people’s access back. “We just want to make sure everything is legal.” Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the hospitals, was due to meet with the contractors last Thursday to discuss the issue. Head of estates at the trust, Mark Neal, said: “Both the Trust and Vital Energi continue to follow the due processes of approval as outlined by the relevant authorities. “Work on the important energy-efficiency and costsaving project will continue within the grounds of the John Radcliffe and Churchill hospital sites.” It is not yet clear how much the delay will affect the 18month project’s planned completion date of summer 2017.

Hospice unveils £4m appeal to expand its care PLANS for a £4million expansion of an Oxford hospice to boost the care it provides were announced on Thursday. Sobell House, based at the Churchill Hospital site, launched a fundraising campaign for a new building and a team of up to 10 carers, accompanied by Oxford East MP Andrew Smith. Mr Smith showed his support for the centre which provides end-oflife care for patients after his wife and former Lord Mayor of Oxford Val Smith stayed there before her death from cancer last year. He said: “It’s great news that this campaign is underway. I’m sure it will be successful but we do need individuals and businesses to donate more to make it happen. “I’ve got personal experience of the wonderful support the hospice provides. “I can’t praise the staff and volunteers here enough. They provide a wonderful standard of care.” The hospice is looking to raise the

By Alex Ballinger money to kickstart the projects as Sobell House celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. If the appeal is successful, the new specialist care team of up to 10 members of staff would be set up to provide palliative support to patients in the four Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust hospitals – the Churchill, John Radcliffe Hospital and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington, and Horton General Hospital in Banbury. Julie Kibblewhite, 71, attends the day centre at the hospice every Thursday for pain management, music therapy and spiritual guidance. The Witney resident said: “People don’t come here just to die. It’s not a grim place. It’s full of life. “It’s about learning to live your life. When you get a terminal diagnosis, you realise life is meant to be lived.”

Mrs Kibblewhite, who suffers from breast cancer, said she attended the hospice to take the burden off her husband of 20 years, Robert. The planned state-of-the-art medical centre would be located on the same site and provide up to six beds for patients suffering from complex illnesses such as dementia. It would cost about £5m to build the new centre and £650,000 a year to fund the new hospital care team, which would operate for two to three years initially. Sobell House hopes the £4m appeal will jumpstart the projects and will be hosting fundraisers like a cocktail evening later this year. Chief executive officer of the hospice, Diane Gardner, said: “These developments will offer patients facing end-of-life different approaches and more choice, and will cement Oxfordshire as a county that offers pioneering hospice care.”

A WEST Oxfordshire woman has been prosecuted for gaining a social housing property fraudulently. Rosie Gallagher, 30, formerly of Dawls Close in Aston-UnderWychwood, pleaded guilty to false representation under the Fraud Act 2006 at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on January 5. Gallagher failed to declare she owned a property in Suffolk when applying for social housing, and was given a home that would otherwise have been assigned to another family in need of housing. She was sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for two years, and West Oxfordshire District Council was awarded £1,400 in costs. In court, Gallagher completed a means form to help the magistrates arrive at a suitable sen-

tence, but again failed to declare the property she owns but does not live in. The magistrates said this was tantamount to fraud itself. Gallagher has been evicted from the social housing property and it has been assigned to another family. West Oxfordshire district councillor Richard Langridge said: “We treat all fraudulent benefit and housing applications very seriously and will take action against anyone who commits such a crime.” Benefit or housing fraud can be reported confidentially to the council on 01993 861000 or online at westoxon.gov.uk/report.

Charity idea put forward to save centre from cuts

A POPULAR outdoor education centre near Oxford could become a charity in order to secure its future amid swathes of county council cuts. Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) announced last Thursday that it could no longer afford to run Hill End in Eynsham Road due to reduced grants from Government. But the idea has now been aired of the Oxford Universityowned site becoming an independent charity to open up new avenues of funding. The county council launched a consultation on its website last Thursday for the public to air their views on the scheme. Hill End occupies 62 acres of land and offers outdoor learning to schools and families, with more than 15,000 visitors in 2014/15. Although the site is owned by the university, it has been leased and managed by the county council since 1974. The centre will remain open until February 5 and, if approved, the timetable for establishing the charity would be agreed in April. Cabinet member for children,

By Alex Ballinger

education and families, Melinda Tilley, said: “We know how much people value the outdoor activities and education programmes provided by Hill End, and this is a positive opportunity to secure the centre’s future for years to come. “We want to ensure this work not only continues, but that there are also opportunities to enhance services at the centre in future.” The university’s pro vicechancellor for planning, William James, said: “We are pleased to be working with the county council to fi nd a way to ensure that children and young adults will be able to benefit from the facilities.” The county council is cutting £292million from its budget by 2018, with a further £70m in savings needed by 2020. Vale district councillor for Cumnor, Dudley Hoddinott, said the centre would be eligible for district council grants as a charity. A team of volunteers manages the project, which includes a range of diverse habitats.

Hotel submits plan for expansion A FOUR-STAR Oxford hotel has submitted plans to expand and increase its number of bedrooms by more than 25 per cent. Oxford Spires Four Pillars Hotel, off Abingdon Road, had Oxford-based property agents Savills put in the plan for the extra 48 bedrooms on top of the existing 181 to Oxford City Council last month. In addition to the expansion in the number of bedrooms, the hotel is planning to cre-

ate a new main entrance and extend its Deacons restaurant, as well as provide alterations to its car park. The hotel, which has 145 car parking spaces and 26 cycle spaces, was constructed on the site of a former farm and farm supermarket in 1999. The hotel currently employs 120 staff and states that with the proposed extension, the hotel could recruit an extra 20 staff to meet the demand. Neil Rowley, director of

Savills, said: “The hotel is currently unable to meet demand and there is a requirement to provide additional bedrooms and improved hotel facilities. “To enable the hotel business to continue to compete in the very competitive hotel market and secure the viability of the hotel in the future, it is proposed to extend the existing bedroom accommodation on site.” A decision on the plans has been pencilled in for March 23.

280 homes set for green light despite fears aired A PLAN for 280 homes in an Oxfordshire village was set to get the go-ahead last night despite objections from local councils. The scheme for land south of the A420 and east of the A415 in Kingston Bagpuize was due to be considered by Vale of White Horse District Council’s planning committee as the Oxfordshire Guardian went to press. Council planning officer Stuart Walker was recommending

By Alex Ballinger councillors to approve it. Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor Parish Council had objected to the plan, saying it was unsustainable as more than 700 homes were planned for the village including this scheme. Parish chairman Brian Forster said: “It will destroy the village and the sense of community that has existed here for the last couple of centuries.”

VË0 jË¬Á ¬ ÄjaËajÜj ¬ j ÍËÄ Íj^ËÄ Ý Ë Ë¬ Ë

Boys’ Independent Catholic Boarding & Day School (11-18 years).

Five residents also submitted letters of objection to the Vale airing concerns about the number of houses, the impact on local schools and a shortage of doctors in the area. Tim Clark, on behalf of the 1st Longworth Scout Group, based in nearby Abingdon Road, said: “We remain concerned that additional houses will place an increased burden on the infrastructure. “However we are supportive of the revised planning proposal in that it now allows for a public space in a location that would be suitable for the construction of a new Scout/Guide/youth centre for the enlarged population of young people in the village.” Strategic land manager at developers Mactaggart and Mickel Homes, Ken Hopkins, said: “As the Kingston Bagpuize site has been allocated for development in the emerging local plan, Mactaggard and Mickel Homes engaged with the community, parish council and local groups during an extensive consultation process.” See oxfordshireguardian. co.uk for the outcome of last night’s meeting.

After breaking into the Clarendon Centre, the burglars can be seen wielding sledgehammers to smash cabinets and steal an unknown number of watches.

Themes, ideas and inspiration for your wedding day A SUMMER wedding offers some gorgeous wedding theme possibilities from elegant to feminine wedding day styles. Before considering flowers, dresses, decoration, invitations, outfit, it is first of all vital to consider what you want your day to be: super stylish, cool and relaxed, rustic, urban, retro, vintage or romantic.

Celtic With St Patrick’s day in March, there are lots of ways to include an Irish theme. Make a harvest knot to wear on your wedding day, or place one in your bouquet to symbolize your Irish heritage. Have a Ceilidh with traditional Irish dances. Wear Irish Lace,and serve a traditional Irish Wedding Feast. Give Celtic-inspired gifts marked with the claddagh (two hands and a heart),Give love Tokens of Hair - they’re symbolic of acceptance.

Cherry Blossoms Cherry blossoms stand for virtue and new beginnings .Have a thick layer of flower petals carpeting the aisle For centrepieces, use compact flowers like hydrangeas or peonies with crystal-beaded willow for dramatic height, and scatter petals generously. Hand your bridesmaids parasols, or fans. Coordinate all your gowns with beautiful, rich brocade sashes. To add a bit of glow, hang round paper lanterns from the ceiling.

Butterfly A springtime bride might pair butterflies with blossoming branches and pastel petit fours, wear pretty silver and rhinestone jewellery sets. Have the groom wear a single fabric butterfly in his buttonhole. Dress flower girls in wings and carry a white satin petal basket that’s filled with butterfly petals instead of the usual rose petals.

‘Happy ever after’ is, of course, the fairytale ending to any wedding. But sometimes you can be so caught up in the thrill of your big day itself that the focus can shift away from what’s most important. Marriage Care is a national charity, specialising in adult couple relationships and they offer a one-day Marriage Preparation workshop held in Oxford. Groups of up to 12 couples are offered insights into building

and maintaining a strong relationship. People from all different ages and backgrounds can benefit from this programme. By going into marriage with your eyes open, Marriage Care helps couples prepare for successful, long-term relationships and avoid various relationship pitfalls. If you’d prefer something more tailor-made for you as a couple, Marriage Care offers a programme called FOCCUS, starting off with an online questionnaire online, followed by up to two

to three boys (“so I’ll never be mother of the bride!”) says the shop is a female-friendly affair (“what happens in the shop stays in the shop!”). Arrange a visit to discuss which of the Oxfordshire exclusive designer gowns – ranging from £500 to £2,000 and including Eternity Brides, Art Couture, Rembo Styling, House of Nicholas and Impression – is perfect for you. The Bridelicious Boutique, 19-20 St Mary’s St, Wallingford, OX10 0EW. 01491 826699.

1½-hour sessions with a trained facilitator who will explore with you how your relationship works, its strengths and potential issues, in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. More than 2,000 Oxfordshire couples have signed up over the past 20 years, with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Please telephone 0800 389 3801(mobile rate 01159 934 255) or visit www.marriagecare.org. uk to find out more.

WIN tickets to the unmissable London Classic Car Show A spectacular new international classic car show took the country by storm last January – now it’s back even bigger and even better than ever before. And you could be there, too, as we have five pairs of Sunday tickets to giveaway in this very special promotion. Staged at the ultra-modern ExCeL exhibition centre in Docklands from 18-21 February 2016, the London Classic Car is the capital’s biggest and best celebration of automotive history. Crammed with innovative features, mouth-watering classic cars plus a star-studded list of celebrity visitors, the inaugural show was such a resounding success that the follow-up will be nearly twice as big. The event’s centrepiece is the ‘The Grand Avenue’, a central boulevard along which many iconic classics are driven. Everything from genuine Formula 1 Grand Prix racers to some of the most sought-after supercars from yesteryear take to the highoctane catwalk allowing visitors to see

Closing date: Friday, February 5

and hear their favourites in action. For 2016, The Grand Avenue will be even grander with a significant increase in track distance. Another of the eye-catching additions for 2016 is an entire new hall dedicated to prestige and performance classics with privately owned examples representing the country’s 25 leading car clubs helping to create an entire show within a show. Visitors, too, will be treated to period entertainment to continue the hall’s retro vibe. Tickets are now available from the official show website: www.thelondonclassiccarshow.co.uk. Adult admit-

tance – if tickets are purchased in advance – is priced at just £23. WIN TICKETS! We have 5 pairs of tickets to this great show and to be in with a chance of winning one all you have to do is answer this simple question:

Return visit for comic Josh AFTER his successful gig in September, comedian Josh Widdicombe is making a return visit to the Oxford Playhouse on Thursday, January 21, and Friday, January 22. The 32-year-old funnyman will revisit the Beaumont Street theatre as part of his ‘What Do I Do Now?’ tour, which will come to an end at the Nottingham Playhouse on February 21. Despite also being a presenter and actor, Josh revealed that his main passion is still for stand-up comedy - a business he fi rst entered when he was 25. “I love stand-up,” he said. “I think of myself as a stand-up and it is not like a proper job, but it’s what I do. “Other things just happen to me, and they have all come out of my stand-up. It’s good to remind myself why I ended up getting my own sitcom.” On his current tour, Josh said: “I really like the lifestyle, and I really like travelling around the UK. “It’s a very pleasant way to see the country. It’s really interesting to see where people come from and then talk to them about those places.” Since his stand-up career took off in mid-2008, Josh has become one of the most popular faces on the UK comedy circuit. His appearances on many television shows such as ‘Mock the Week’, ‘8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’ and co-presenting

By James Richings the comedy show ‘The Last Leg’ with fellow comedians Alex Brooker and Adam Hill whilst also having his own self-titled sitcom show, has really put the funnyman on the comedy map. And despite the national acclaim of his work with many comedy enthusiasts knowing his name, the comedian has always remained down-to-earth and humble when performing live or when doing interviews. “I fi nd it hard when well-known people moan about the difficulty of fame,” Josh said. “I was in Edinburgh and a lot of people came up to me and chatted and you can’t complain about that. “If that’s the tax I have to pay for getting to do what I do, that’s absolutely fi ne by me.” He added: “People are very wellmeaning. They don’t shout abuse. It’s all really positive. “They don’t want to talk about much because in these days of camera phone everyone is obsessed with documenting that moment. “As long as they’ve got proof that it happened, it’s fi ne. That’s how it works. “But that’s really good because you can’t spend all day walking the streets talking to people about your canon!” Suitable for over-14s, both gigs start at 7.30pm and tickets cost £17.50.

New Stand Up Comedy Club Opens with Music Venue in Abingdon

Ian Stone is one of the most talented topical acts and comperes in the country, ranked in the top 10 stand-ups in Britain by The Independent. Edgy and provocative, with an easy-going manner and self-depreciating style, Ian is at great ease bantering with an audience. Ian's many TV appearances include Mock The Week (BBC2), The World Stands Up (Paramount Comedy 2005), Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC2), and is currently presenting BTSport1 show The Footballs On . On Radio, Ian is a regular guest on BBC 5Live sports panel show Fighting Talk and also on Absolute Radio, he co-presents Rock n Roll Football with Ian Wright. "Seriously funny" The Guardian Caution: this performance will contain some adult humour as well as occasional bad language Management Disclaimer: Please note – that while we make every effort, shows can change without notice due to unforeseen circumstances and commitments of artists

Operating under the name ‘Comedy at The Northcourt’ the next gig is on Friday January 22nd and sees Stone joined on the bill by fellow comedians James Redmond, John Lynn, Dorian Wainwright and Lucas Jolsen. The following months gig on Friday February 19th is to be headlined by the fabulous character of Sol Bernstein created by comedian Steve Jameson who takes on the persona of a New York Jewish empressario in much the same way as Sacha Baron Cohen does with his character Ali G and delivering punch line after punch line. Comedy at The Northcourt is the brainchild of Bill Fletcher and Mark Cunningham of Abingdon United who together have also already successfully created Music at The Northcourt and have provided Abingdon with its first regular live music venue which is booking internationally and nationally renowned bands. Cunningham said “I’d already worked with Bill to create a live music venue here at The Northcourt which was something the town has been lacking for a decade or more. So, when he came to me with the idea of introducing a comedy club here too I thought, why not! Out of Bounds had already been operating in Abingdon but their venue closed leaving them with the prospect of shutting down altogether. We immediately felt strongly that Abingdon losing yet another entertainment or facility was unacceptable to us to we pulled out all the stops to get this moving here at The Northcourt” Full details of the comedy club and the music club’s upcoming events can be found on their respective websites www.musicatthenorthcourt.weebly.com and www.northcourtcomedy.weebly.com

What’s on NEWS Covers band will aim to get fans up and dancing

Rock hits night

HIGH Wycombe-based covers band Hustler will be making an appearance at O’Neill’s in Oxford on Friday, January 22. The five-piece group, which specialise in performing songs that have a rock inﬂuence, will play songs from artists including The Killers, Daft Punk, Rihanna, Tina Turner and many more. The free gig at the George Street venue starts at 10pm.

Prophets in town BLUES band Shakedown Prophets will be gigging at the New Inn in Witney on the evening of Saturday, January 23. The-four-piece group will perform a number of original tracks at the Corn Street venue. The free gig starts at 9.30pm and runs until midnight.

Songwriter’s gig FOLK singer-songwriter Jack Little will be performing at the O2 Academy in Oxford on Saturday, January 23. The 21-year-old from Bicester will play tracks from his debut EP ‘Epitaph’, released in 2013. Supporting Jack will be musicians James Blowers, Hannah Clapham and the band Cosmosis.

FEATURING songs covering a host of different genres, The Continuum Covers Band will be bringing their repertoire to the General Foods Sports & Social Club in Banbury on Saturday, January 16. Performing at the Spiceball Park Road pub for the fi rst time this year, the three musicians of Danny Bash, Pete Clarke, and EJ Brooks arrive in north Oxfordshire with their versions of well-known hits from across the years. And for Danny, there is one thing he particularly enjoys when performing to an appreciative audience. “For us, it is getting people dancing as there is no bigger flattery than that,” Danny told the Guardian. “Also not being limited by noise restrictions, as that can really kill the vibe.” He added: “We are really looking forward to this show, as everyone can expect a really good mix of covers through the decades.”

By James Richings Music from the likes of Bruno Mars, The Beatles, Michael Jackson and many more will be tackled by the three part-time musicians from Newbury. “We are part-time but certainly play with a professional attitude towards what we do,” Danny said. “And it is massive for youngsters to experience live music. “With music turning into a backing track pre-recorded sequenced experience lately, you can see the popularity of traditionally played music as a whole becoming more shallow. “People are a lot more forgiving now for live music that isn’t actually live. “And I know we never want to be a band playing along to our own tracks.” The gig starts at 9pm, and is free to attend.

What’s on NEWS Sitcoms prove to be an inspiration for comic Kate

A MIXTURE of comedy and music will be on the agenda when funnywoman and musician Kate Lucas visits The Glee Club in Oxford on Saturday, January 16. The comedienne, who is known for her dark yet observational material, visits the Hythe Bridge Street venue with fellow comics Ian Moore, Jarlath Regan and another comic who has not yet been confi rmed. And with Kate using music during her set as well as comedy, she believes the audience will get good value for their money. “I would say that the audience can expect me to be pleasant but consistently inappropriate,” Kate said. “For inspiration, I like so many different types of comedy but I’m obsessed with sitcoms.

BIGGEST motoring newspaper

IT proved to be a successful 2015 for Renault UK as the French car manufacturer sold 75,618 vehicles in the UK - a four-year high. Figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders on January 7 saw the 14 per cent increase from 2014 help the company become one of the most fi nancially successful businesses in the UK. Sales of three Renault cars - the Clio hatchback, Captur crossover and the all-electric ZOE supermini rose by 5.8 per cent, helping the company to sell 53,410 vehicles from those models alone. Electric vehicles also saw a further surge last year with 2,053 ZOE models being sold. This is a huge increase of 102 per cent compared to 2014. Kadjar, Renault’s new familysized crossover, ignited the renewal of the brand’s C-segment line-up with all-new generations of Mégane and Scénic to be launched at some point this year. A combination of design, efficient and economical engines, strong residual value and competitive maintenance costs has seen the Kadjar contribute to Renault’s growth since its UK launch, in the fi nal quarter of 2015.

By James Richings “This extraordinary growth has been fuelled by customer demand for our stunning new models, supported by our dealer network’s commitment to customer satisfaction,” Renault Group UK managing director Ken Ramirez said. “The addition of Kadjar in the fi nal quarter of 2015 has boosted the range even further and we look ahead to its fi rst full year of sales in 2016, as well as the exciting launches of the Mégane in the summer and the Scénic later in the year, completing the renewal of our family car range. “This 2015 performance reflects Renault’s ongoing appeal in the UK market.” The Renault Group, which comprises Renault cars and vans and Dacia, significantly outpaced the UK vehicle market during 2015, with sales totaling 127,343 vehicles for a market share of 4.2 per cent – up 17.4 per cent from the year before. This outpaced a total market growth of 7.4 per cent, making Renault Group the fastest growing volume franchise in the UK, outperforming the overall market for the third consecutive year.

OXFORD’S British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) racer Jason Plato will lead the charge for new entrants Subaru in 2016 after his team announced a partnership with the Japanese car manufacturer. Team BMR revealed on Tuesday that its drivers would contest this year’s BTCC season in Subaru Levong Sports Tourers, as it aims to go up against Honda, MG and BMW in the manufacturers’ championship for the fi rst time.

with the Wantage youth team. “He adds to our great forward options at the minute and he could be a big star for us.” The forward grabbed nine goals in his 22 appearances for Abingdon this season. However, as one talent entered Didcot, another departed as Ballard revealed that Lance Williams has joined North Leigh. The midfielder scored four goals for Didcot this season and departs after three-and-a-half years at the club. Ballard said of Williams: “He is a really nice lad and everyone at the club wishes him well for the season as we know he’s looking to go and achieve promotion with North Leigh.” Didcot take on Slimbridge at the Loop Meadow on Saturday.

OXFORDSHIRE county darts player Deta Hedman suffered another heartbreaking ladies’ world championship final defeat after losing 3-2 to Trina Gulliver on Saturday. Hedman, who lives in Essex but plays for Oxfordshire, hadn’t dropped a set on her way to a third BDO fi nal at the Lakeside Country Club in Surrey. The Jamaican-born 56-year-old won the opening set of the fi nal with an impressive 118 checkout, before exWantage thrower Gulliver levelled. A close third set followed, with both players missing doubles to clinch it, before Hedman hit double 10 to put her one set away from a fi rst title. But nerves started to get the better of her, with shots going increasingly awry as Gulliver battled back to level once again. And she whitewashed Hedman in the deciding set, landing double 18 to collect her 10th world title since 2001, and her fi rst in five years. The outcome brought back memories of Hedman’s previous fi nals against Anastasia Dobromyslova in 2012 and Lisa Ashton in 2014, throwing for the championship on both occasions but ultimately being beaten.

The Diddy leader said: “We have a great team here and after speaking to the chairman and the board I’m setting my target on securing promotion next season. “I’m really enjoying the new role and I have fi nally got the team playing the way I’ve been looking to since I took the role. “I was really impressed with what I saw from the lads at Winchester and I credit the result down to a culmination of our past performances, only this time we had our fi nishing boots on.” Didcot nabbed 19-year-old starlet George Reid from local rivals Abingdon United over the Christmas period, and the forward’s goal-scoring antics have got Ballard purring. He added: “He seemed really keen to join us after chatting with him and he’s come on fantastically well since his days

United in dreamland after downing Swans Read this newspaper online at www.oxfordshireguardian.co.uk

A SUPERB brace from Kemar Roofe helped Oxford have their fair share of the magic of the FA Cup in a stunning 3-2 win over the Premier League’s Swansea City in a televised, sell-out clash at the Kassam Stadium in a match you simply could not

By Loughlan Campbell take your eyes off. Swansea got their opener in stunning fashion after neat link-up play between Emnes and Montero in the box led to the winger silkily sliding the ball

past Slocombe on 23 minutes against the run of play. Emnes then wasted an opportunity for a second after Jack Cork played him in when in the United box but the winger’s effort coasted wide into the sidenetting on 26 minutes.

Oxford weren’t that downbeat and won a penalty through Alex MacDonald going down under a challenge from Kyle Bartley following a crunch of saves from ‘keeper Kristoffer Nordfelt in the box on 44 minutes. Sercombe stepped up and

fi red down the middle to secure Oxford’s equaliser and his 13th goal of the season before the referee called for half-time. Four minutes after the break, Roofe blasted home from just outside the box to give the Yellows a deserved lead. Sam Slocombe was then the hero for Oxford tipping a Jack Cork header off the line. And Roofe then cemented Oxford’s lead with a vicious counter-attack on 59 minutes after the U’s star player was sent through on goal by Maguire to make it 3-1, and to make it 15 goals for the season for the former West Brom player. However, seven minutes later Swansea fought back as Bafetimbi Gomis was played into space in the U’s box with plenty of time to slot home. The nerves began to toil on Oxford with the back four prone to having to play back to Slocombe as the Swans pushed for an equaliser. Slocombe then made a superb save to deny a rampant Montero after a fluid Swansea counterattack on 76 minutes, before Oxford’s O’Dowda had a decent effort saved. Despite a late bombardment from Swansea, the U’s managed to fend off the Swans to record the shock of the third round. They will play either Blackburn or Newport in the next round, to be played during the last weekend of the month.

Rain calls off county’s football ties Blues strut to five WATERLOGGED pitches led to much disruption across football in Oxfordshire over the weekend with eight matches across the divisions called off. In the Conference South, Oxford City had to postpone their second game in a row after their contest with Concord Rangers was called off. Down in the Southern League Division One South & West, three Oxfordshire ties were called off with local derby Wantage Town and Didcot Town

postponed, in addition to North Leigh’s contest with Bishops Cleeve and Banbury United’s game at Tiverton Town. Kidlington’s hyped FA Vase fourth round clash against Knaphill FC was also called off following overnight rain at Yarnton Road, and Abingdon United’s cup clash with Tytherington Rocks was also postponed. Also in the county, Oxford City Nomads couldn’t contest their clash with Lydney Town in the Hellenic Premier League and

Thame United’s trip to Ascot United was called off due to the weather. Away from the weather, Wantage Town announced last Thursday that interim playermanager Stuart Cattell has taken on the role on a permanent basis. He will be assisted by Sam Collier and Rob Hopkins, who aided Cattell in the interim process following the departure of former manager Daniel Barry earlier this season.

Stars blast past Raiders at Oxpens OXFORD City Stars cruised to victory on Sunday night after they thrashed London Raiders 5-2 at Oxpens Road to secure their first win of the year. Boris Ruzicka opened the scoring, assisted by Josh Florey on three minutes, before the latter netted following a five-on-three powerplay. The fi rst half was dominated by penalties for both teams before the Raiders hit back in the second half through Robert Veares. Ben Ealey-Newman then

put Oxford further in front two minutes later, although Raiders soon got another at the end of the period through Tom Davis. Fighting between the teams soon followed in the third period, notably between the Stars’ Dax Hedges and the Raiders’ Rob Jenner, both receiving penalties. With eight seconds left in the game, Oxford got their fi nal goal with Michael Whillock rounding out the scoring. The Stars had travelled down to the Solent Devils the day

before, with Florey, Alan Green, Ealey-Newman, Ruzicka and Joe Edwards grabbing the goals for Oxford. Solent got their goals through a brace from Mitchell Murray and individual efforts from Ralfs Circenis, Ben James Lock and Richard Brown. The results mean it is now five games unbeaten for the Stars, who remain fi fth in the NIHL South 1 table. The Stars play the Chelmsford Chieftains at Oxpens on Sunday.

victories in a row WITNEY RFC made it five wins in a row in stellar circumstances after they notched 13 points in the first 13 minutes in a 23-8 win at Reading. The Blues s kicked off into the e wind and within n the fi rst five minnutes winger Ben n Fisk raced 40 0 he metres over the line to touch down. wn. Henry Lamb then added another three points with a penalty from a difficult angle on 11 minutes. Just two minutes later, flanker George Lane picked up a clearance to feed Charlie Bennett, who proceeded to go on a rampaging run over the try line on 13 minutes. On 21 minutes, Henry Lamb added another penalty before Reading hit back through fly half Matt Smart three minutes later with a penalty goal. Witney proceeded to go off the boil in the second half and Reading were allowed more

time on the ball to get back into the game. The home side then grabbed their fi rst try of the game with winger Chris Greig takC ing the ball to Witin ney’s 22 before n ji jinking through the defence and th touching down to to m make it 8-16. Witney managed to fi nd some age space to fi nish Reading off in the fi nal 10 minutes with second row Matt Webb receiving the ball 10 metres out, who then went down under the posts before Lamb converted to round out the scoring for the game.

Cup fixtures FOOTBALL: League Two Oxford United are set to face Hellenic Premier side Ardley United in the quarter-finals of the Oxfordshire Senior Cup. The ﬁxtures were announced ahead on Sunday, which will also see Oxford City take on Banbury United next Tuesday and North Leigh contest a clash with Carterton FC. Thame United complete the ﬁxtures with their clash against Kidlington scheduled for February 2. No dates have been announced for Oxford United and North Leigh’s games yet.

Ladies win HOCKEY: Beth Williamson grabbed the late winner for Oxford Hockey Club’s ladies’ 2nds in a 2-1 win over Sonning’s 1sts on Saturday. Oxford’s Meg Scott had put the home side in front in the ﬁrst half before Sonning secured an equaliser at the end of the ﬁrst half. Meanwhile the Ladies’ 3rds secured a strong 3-0 win over Maidenhead’s 3rds, in which Sarah Fenton scored a brace and Suzie Williams also netted.

Quins’ test RUGBY: Oxford Harlequins dispatched Leighton Buzzard last Saturday in a hard-fought 16-10 win ahead of their rival clash at Witney on Saturday. The result means that the Quins are undefeated at home this season and are now sixth in the South West 1 East. They go into the clash with the Blues eight points behind their rivals.

All eyes on the Hellenic prem THE Hellenic Premier League is potentially the most exciting title race that you’ll see in England’s nonleague structure this season with five teams vying for the championship. Kidlington are nestled with Thatcham Town, Flackwell Health, Ascot United and Highworth Town in a race to get into the Southern League with only eight points separating the top five. Thatcham currently lead the division a point ahead of Flackwell, with Kidlington just two points behind them, and Ascot only trailing by a point. Flackwell, last season’s champions, are the favourites for the title. The league leaders have won 21 of their 30 games in all competitions so far this season, although Thatcham pose a threat with top goalscorer Josh Helmore, who has netted 15 for the Kingfishers, whilst Kidlington have only lost once in their last 13 games in all competitions.

Roofe set to stay, insists Appleton OXFORD United manager Michael Appleton has insisted that Kemar Roofe will be going nowhere this January transfer window after the star midfielder scored an epic brace in their 3-2 win over Swansea City on Saturday. The 23-year-old proved to be the star of the show in a memorable performance for the U’s as he took his two goals with ease, oozing star quality on the Kassam’s pitch. No doubts could have been aired following the match that Roofe’s profi le had raised considerably following his exemplary showing. And Appleton was quick to make it clear his star player was not going anywhere. He said following the game: “He’s an Oxford United player and he’s happy to be one. “He’s enjoying his football and improving day by day.” Appleton added: “I say it to all the players, and I say it from personal experience, the grass is not always greener.” The forward, who can also play on the wing, has notched 15 goals in all competitions for

By Loughlan Campbell United and is their current leading goalscorer. Roofe’s goals proved to be the difference in the televised Swansea tie with the former West Brom player grabbing the headlines on Monday’s national back pages. The player himself was remaining humble following the victory but highlighted Leicester City star Jamie Vardy as an inspiration for lower league players looking to break into the Premier League. He said: “Jamie Vardy started lower and he’s got the scoring record in the Premier League. “It can be done given the time and given the chance. “I’ve been given the chance and I believe I’m showing it now, even against the Premier League boys. “The only chance we are going to get to play against the Premier League boys is the FA Cup and the League Cup, so it’s a chance for us to show what we can do.” United are looking to continue their progress in another competition this evening as they take on League One side Millwall in the fi rst leg of their area fi nal in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, being played at The New Den from 7.45pm.
