Let’s talk rubbish 2026 – tell us what you think of our waste and street cleaning services
Residents across South Oxfordshire and the Vale of White Horse are being encouraged to share their views on how rubbish, recycling and street cleaning services are run in their area, via an annual survey.
Whether you think things are working well or could be improved, your feedback will play a vital role in shaping the future of waste and street cleaning services across both districts.
Last year, more than 2,100 people took part in the 2025 survey, with more than 81 percent of respondents indicating they were satisfied or very satisfied with the waste collection service. As a result of the feedback, staff received extra training to help ensure bins are returned correctly after emptying, further checks were put in place around litter bin emptying and measures put in place ensure street cleaning standards across the area. There has also been increased communication on which items go in which bin, especially around food waste.
A new survey has now launched for 2026 giving residents another opportunity to have their say on everything from household waste and recycling collections to street cleaning and local waste reduction initiatives.
If you have any questions or need the survey in an alternative format (including large print, Braille, audio, Easy Read or other languages), please email or call 01235 422146.
This survey focuses on services provided by South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils. It does not cover any questions relating to Household Waste Recycling Centres as these services managed separately by Oxfordshire County Council.
Welcome to the start of the new cricket season with a reminder that all are welcome – especially if you are new to the parish… you will be made very welcome and have the opportunity to meet many parishioners.
On the field, whilst the league season doesn’t start until 9 May, junior training is already in full swing with a wonderful turn out last week in the blazing evening sunshine.
This weekend we have a series of friendly games as well as the usual junior training on Friday. The first team are playing in the Home Counties T20 competition at Banbury. The second and fourth teams are at home to Cumnor and Bledlow Ridge respectively, whilst the third team take the short journey to Bledlow Ridge. On Sunday we are delighted to host the Heartaches team to a game against an Aston Rowant X1.
The bar will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday together with a BBQ on Friday night.
Can we direct you to our website astonrowantcricket.co.uk or more details, membership details are also on the site.
The county council is warning residents planning to use Oxfordshire’s household waste recycling centres about a series of short closures to enable essential work to be carried out.
