a)Parish Council Chairman, Mr Alan Dawe: a copy of Mr Dawe's report is contained in the Annual Newsletter. Further to his report on Allotments, Mr Dawe added that owing to the efforts of CAPA and other allotment holders, the Ilges Lane site has been transformed during the last year and has a much higher occupancy rate than before.. He offered his thanks to all concerned. The joint PC/Allotment Holders advisory group seems to be working well. Further to 'Crime and Vandalism', he reported that although the additional lighting to the MUGA has been installed, ball games are still taking place in front of The Pavilion with consequent damage to the building and, in particular, the garage doors. Claims that the lighting is still inadequate have not been substantiated; it was never intended that the area should be wholly floodlit. Further to 'Highways', he reported that to combat speeding in Wallingford Rd, a 'pinch-point' is planned for installation in conjunction with the Cycle Route. The 'pinch-point' will, however, go ahead even if the Cycle Route is abandoned. Further to Finance, he reported that preliminary ye figures show actual receipts slightly up on budgeted receipts and actual expenses £10k less than budgeted owing mainly to suspension of action re the Cholsey Centre.

Alan Dawe, vice-chairman of Cholsey Parish Council, who nominated PC Walker, said: "She has introduced an arrangement whereby teenagers apprehended for causing minor damage or defacing with graffiti are required to make good the damage, under her supervision.

Quoting Alan Dawe, Chairman Cholsey Parish CouncilParish councillors at Cholsey are considering selling some of the village,s underused allotments to raise cash for a new village hall and other improvements.The parish council has issued people with allotments on the Rothwells Close site with notice to quit in case their plots need to be sold to finance the hall.Council chairman Alan Dawe said: ,We are hoping for a substantial grant from South Oxfordshire District Council, but, is it does not materialise, we may have to sell the allotment land for housing to pay for the work.,He said the allotment holders would be guaranteed a plot on another site and had been kept fully informed about the possible move.Mr Dawe said: ,We have an obligation to make the best use of our assets to the best advantage of the village and it is not best value to leave land unused., Any use for housing would include a proportion of low-cost homes for local people.As well as the hall, the council wants funding for a children,s playgound, a planned skate park and possibly extra burial land.
...
Alan Dawe, chairman of the Parish Council, said the village had two sets of allotments and holders of land on Rothwells Close would be offered replacements elsewhere.
...
Mr Dawe added: ,It is our job to get the best for the village from our assets , and just hanging on to unused land is not getting best value.,The village needs a new hall, play equipment and a skate park.,

Comment:,Play equipment, and a skate park are facilities for little kids and youngsters. ,Play, areas for older people - pensioners, for example - is also needed so why is Mr Dawe, an ,older, person himself, even thinking of selling allotments?
