The proposal to
include Boars Hill in the name of the parish council is long
overdue. Boars Hill residents ask very little of Wootton PC but are
generally supportive of what they do and were generous in their
donations to the refurbishment of the Wootton & Dry Sandford
Community Centre.
With the resignations of certain parish councillors the attitude of
the parish council towards Boars Hill has become more sympathetic
and inclusive and to a degree this is reflected in the proposal to
change the name of the parish council to Wootton and Boars Hill PC.
I think changing the name to distinguish it from the other Wootton
in Oxfordshire is secondary to making Boars Hill feel more
included.

Changing the name
to Wootton and Boars Hill would lead to a more integrated
community. It would also give Wootton a more distinctive community
and make it easier to identify from Wootton by Woodstock or even
Wootton in Bedfordshire. It reflects the history of the Parish, and
is in line with the Wootton and Boars Hill Cricket Club, supported
financially and hosted by Wootton Parish Council.

Pointless.

The Parish Council
make a good well argued case for the name change.

They want
inclusion so why not

This makes total
sense. The Boars Hill residents in the Wootton boundary are
directly linked into this parish and make plenty of use of the
local amenity. As such they should be represented within the parish
name.

Never mind all
this, how about using our outrageously high council tax to tidy up
around Mathews Way and Hawkins Way and surrounding roads. This
estate is an embarrassment, the verges are littered and overground.
The amount of dog mess is absurd, many many more bins are required,
new road signs need putting up, get rid of the silly areas of grass
that people churn up parking all over and replace with designated
parking bays. The whole estate needs investment.

I think the name
should reflect both areas with in the boundaries.

Wootton and Boars
Hill should stay together. See no good reason for Sunningwell PC
request for change!!

Wootton Parish
Council currently have two vacancies for Parish Councillors we'd
welcome two new councillors from any residents within the Boars
Hill locale.
In the interests of starting to work more with households in Boars
Hill locale Wootton Parish Council are suggesting we change the
parish name to Wootton & Boars Hill Parish Council. This is the
start of a closer working relationship we’d really like to
forge with the households of Boars Hill and the BHA.

The whole Parish
use the facilities centred around the Parade of shops, Public
House, Church, Play Area and School in Wootton Parish and the
current boundaries give the option to influence decisions made
regarding these facilities to all residents. I can see little merit
in the whole of Boars Hill joining the small Parish of Sunningwell
other than the probable request for an increase in precept. In
reality, with the state of apathy towards local democracy, it would
make more sense for the Parish of Sunningwell to join a
neighbouring Parish/ Parishes.

Mainly disagree
because of the possible reduced precept and the loan outstanding
for the community centre which I am sure is enjoyed by many of the
boars hill residents.

Wootton Parish
Council grants thousands of pounds every year to support the WADS
Community Centre. If the Parish is split we believe that that we
won't be able to support the Community Centre to the same amount.
In addition, people in the breakaway Parish won't be supporting the
Community Centre with their Council Tax but will still be using it
and the facilities it provides.

I support the
changing of the parish name to include Boars Hill so that residents
in that area feel part of the community that represents them.

To function as a
part of local democracy a Parish needs the input from the residents
using the facilities within it. However it also means that the
Parish needs to be consulted and its views seriously taken into
account by District and County Officers!

As the name
implies the Village and Boars Hill have made up the cricket club
since the turn of the 20th century and certainly since its
reforming around 1989. Wootton Parish Council grants a significant
amount of money every year to support the Wootton and Boars Hill
Cricket Club. If the Parish is split we believe that that the
Parish won't be able to support the cricket club to the same
amount. Loss of revenue in terms of support in paying fuel bills,
water rates, repair and maintenance of the pavilion and any
increase in the rent of the pavilion would seriously impact on the
cricket club's ability to function and would put its existence in
doubt.
