Who do I ask for help? 9 Feb 2023 Details of who can fix what in our Parish The Parish Council is aware that residents, understandably, often don’t know who is responsible for all the things that keep our village pleasant and running as it should. To help you find who you need when you encounter an issue or have a problem, we have created a list of the common concerns and who best to speak to for a remedy. If there are any missing from this list, please let us know! These are the areas that are Eynsham Parish Council’s responsibility: Grass cutting within the Parish Council land and most highway verges Play area maintenance/safety concerns Oxford Road Playing Fields maintenance Noticeboards Public benches Bus shelters (depending on location) Sports Pavilion Bartholomew Room Trees on Parish Council land For all these, you can contact the Parish Council via epc.comms@eynsham-pc.gov.uk or epc-clerk@eynsham-pc.gov.uk These are the issues that fall outside of Parish Council responsibility: Household waste collection/missing bin – West Oxfordshire District Council (Report a missed bin - West Oxfordshire District Council (westoxon.gov.uk)) Litter/dog bin collections – West Oxfordshire District Council (Litter, street cleaning and dog fouling - West Oxfordshire District Council (westoxon.gov.uk)) Road repairs – Oxfordshire County Council (via Fixmystreet.com) On-road parking concerns – Oxfordshire County Council (Parking | Oxfordshire County Council) Parking wardens – Oxfordshire County Council (previously West Oxfordshire District Council) (Roads, travel and parking | Oxfordshire County Council) Trees on highway verges – Oxfordshire County Council (Trees and woodland | Oxfordshire County Council) Fly-tipping – Oxfordshire County Council (Fly-tipping | Oxfordshire County Council) Eynsham Village Hall – Village Hall Management Committee (bookings can be made with Stephanie Norton on 07935 832 702) Please use the links to report your issues.
