(Roland) Michael Hargreave, born in Sibford in 1946, writes: Sibford folk whose memory stretches back more than 60 years may have recollections of my grandparents Roland and Eva Herbert who lived in Holly House until Roland’s death in 1949. Eva (née Lamb) lived on in Shrubbery Cottage until her death in 1962. Many will remember their daughter Ina and her husband, Arnold Lamb, many of whose family remain in and around Sibford to this day.
Roland and Eva were married on 31st July 1922 in the Quaker Meeting House in Sibford Gower, when the photo above was taken. A number of their (about) 60 direct descendants are getting together at the Meeting House on the 100th Anniversary of their wedding, Sunday 31st July.
Some of us will gather there in time for Meeting for Worship at 10.30 and will be joined by many more for the afternoon. We would be particularly pleased to hear memories of them or photos that will help those who did not know them to get a flavour of their special place among Sibford villagers.
Michael may be contacted at roland.hargreave@sky.com

Following requests from the community, Sibford Gower Parish Council have invested in 4 new Dog Waste Bins at roadside locations around the village.
These 4 new bins are additional to the 1 existing Dog Waste Bin located in the Millennium Field, and to the 2 existing General Waste Bins located near to the Primary School and near to the Village Hall.
General waste must not be deposited in Dog Waste Bins, but we are advised that it is acceptable to dispose of dog waste in General Waste Bins – all dog waste must be securely bagged to ensure the health and safety of Cherwell District Council staff.
These are all high capacity bins, which will be regularly emptied by Cherwell District Council but, if you find that a bin is full, please find an alternative bin, or take your waste home with you for disposal in your own green domestic waste bin.
The approximate location of all the public Waste Bins in Sibford Gower & Burdrop are shown on the following map, and further details on location are listed below the map.

Oxfordshire County Council created OXTOG – Oxfordshire Together – to mobilise and support a team of volunteers around the County to help look after their own roads, pavements and public rights of way. As part of OXTOG there is a growing team of volunteers known as Fix My Street Super Users.
The Super Users are, in effect, the ‘eyes and ears’ of the County Council Highways Officers and are trained to report and action certain road repairs, specifically potholes and damaged kerbs, on low-speed, minor roads using Fix My Street.
The Volunteer Co-ordination team at Oxfordshire County Council is currently recruiting more Fix My Street Super Users in this area. The training takes place online in small groups.
If you already use Fix My Street and can walk around your town or village regularly (or even daily) and would like to find out more, please contact: volunteercoordinationteam@oxfordshire.gov.uk
