A rather nice Tabby Cat has been frequenting our garden and drive over the past 2 weeks. Unfortunately he has no collar or name tag and we are just concerned that he may be lost or even abandoned. We wondered if anyone knew anything about him?
Vivienne and Vic Smith, Church Lane
Currently the Alkerton site is due to close in 2017. Oxfordshire County Council propose to extend the life of Alkerton until 22/23, and meanwhile to seek to identify and develop an alternative site to replace both Alkerton and Ardley in 22/23.
For further information on the strategy document and consultation process (which is running from 14th July to August 11th) see the Parish Council Noticeboard page.

THIS COULD BE OUR BIGGEST FIGHT EVER
Consultant-led maternity, 24/7 Childrens Ward, Special Care Baby Unit, A&E, medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, and the Critical Care Unit are all under threat. See the Oxford University Hospitals Foundation Trust’s “emerging options” link:- http://www.cherwell.gov.uk/media/pdf/n/s/CPN_Agenda___Meeting_doc_140616.pdf)
Keep the Horton General campaigners, midwives, SCBU staff, members of the public and local GPs have publicly come out against the options.
“What can I do?”
The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do right now is to write to the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, via your GP at your local doctor’s surgery, and tell them why we need the full services of a General Hospital in Banbury (ie one that provides all the above mentioned services.) You might consider safety, cost, travel difficulties, the growing population, and the effect on the lower income and disadvantaged families. If you can illustrate your email or letter with a personal experience, that will make it more powerful.
Copy your GP letter to your MP and to us at keepthehortongeneral@hotmail.co.uk
