Welcome to the website of the
Rotherfield Peppard Parish Council
A picturesque village located in the
District of South Oxfordshire
We trust you will find this new site very easy to navigate and will find all the Council Meeting Notifications/ Agendas and then the Minutes once approved.
All the Council news of this wonderful Village in its idyllic situation surrounded by woodlands and Commons in which it is a privilege to live, can be found here.
Hopefully we are all good friends in Rotherfield Peppard, therefore no one needs to be shy about airing and sharing their views, we all want to understand one another and would welcome your views on how we can improve, if that is possible, the website.
This is a very friendly village anyway but during the current Corona virus, lockdown situation I have been greatly moved and pleased by how we are responding to the situation by being kind, courteous and patient with one another whilst responding to all the rules for the public on Covid19, keeping 2 metre distant from each other at all times even if it means crossing the road if there is not room on the pavement; offering help with shopping/ posting letters/collecting prescriptions for our neighbours whilst recognising their dignity, acknowledging each other with a smile, nod of the head or a wave, small but very important gestures to show others we do indeed recognise their existence – so important in a small village. I am sure this caring attitude will continue whatever kind of situation we in the UK find ourselves.
Please let us remember and be grateful for those members of the SODC/BIFFA work force who collect our rubbish, our Shopkeeper –Ruby - who keeps ‘stocked-up’ on our behalf, our postmen who keep us in touch, The conservators who voluntarily take care of our Commons, the Volunteers at Springwater Chapel who are gathering goods and handing out food parcels to the vulnerable and everyone who makes our life so comfortable and pleasant. Finally, please do keep in touch with members of your Parish Council who have the well-being of all Parishioners at heart.
Wishing you all the best of health and happiness
Jeni Wood
Acting Vice Chair
