Could you please get in touch as the Friends of Oxpens Meadow are anxious to meet people who remember the neighbourhood before and during World War II.

It is with a heavy heart that I consider returning to Oxford to stroll along the river and find a whole morass of identikit houses and bad ceremonial efforts that look exactly like the "artist's impression". As for SENDRA, god knows. Turn up to one of their meetings I suppose. Kieren Hi Marina,

I don’t live in St Ebbe’s anymore, but my best wishes go with you in trying to retain and protect Oxpens Field. It is with a heavy heart that I consider returning to Oxford to stroll along the river and find a whole morass of identikit houses and bad ceremonial efforts that look exactly like the “artist’s impression”.

As for SENDRA, god knows. Turn up to one of their meetings I suppose.
