Adderbury Village is where I live.  It is a fine old ironstone village located some four miles south of Banbury and straddling the A4260.  The view here shows the High Street, looking west towards the parish church.

The primary school is Christopher Rawlins (C of E) Primary School and is located at the junction of the A4260 and the B4100.  The headmistress is Mrs Rose McCready.  This is the link to the web site: www.christopher-rawlins-school.org.uk.

Planning Applications are decided by Cherwell District Council after seeking the Parish Council's view.  The District Council is bound by national, regional and county planning rules and is under huge pressure from the current government to encourage higher densities, less car use and, above all, to build more and more homes.  Click here for a list of Planning Applications currently under consideration by Cherwell: Planning
