Plans are afoot in Oxley Woods, and this time not of the scheming house-builder kind. Residents are clubbing together to organise an Oxley Woods Big Lunch.
If you’re interested in joining in, please make a visit to the residents’ forum and see what you can do to take part, even if it’s just a case of bringing yourself along to join in!
After many residents’ came together in support of one another (and, it has to be said, in support of the George Wimpey site managers to a large degree as well), perhaps something has stirred in people?
Or perhaps people have just had enough of tip-toeing around dog pooh in the park, and it has nothing to do with the new found “blitz spirit” on site.
Either way, whoever put these signs up, good on you! We don’t own a dog, but we do have kids, and we do play in the park, and dog mess is an increasingly messy, disgusting problem.
The forums are now live. Not much there just yet, but if you’d like to join in, go to the forums now!
You can also use the link in the main menu at the top of each page.

Well there’s been a lot going on lately that I’ve not been blogging about, purely because a lot of it was timing based.
Unfortunately, it appears that the wishes of over half of the residents here at Oxley Woods may have fallen on deaf ears. Hopefully this will not prove to be the case, but time is running out. More on that perhaps another time, maybe with good news for everyone!
Anyway, aside from the doom and gloom, it does appear that last week and this, there is more activity on site in terms of joiners and other workmen flitting about. I have heard from a number of residents that they have been contacted by Wood Newton about issues that they had not had any news on for some time. This is good stuff.
Perhaps so many residents coming together to express their support for one another, and their frustration, in some cases dismay with the situation on this “landmark development” of eco houses, is paying off. It shouldn’t need this in my opinion. I think everyone expects problems to a degree, but it’s when there’s too many, or they just don’t get solved in good time, that’s when things start to get out of hand and become intolerable for some.
Anyway, hopefully the increased activity on site IS following through and resulting in more people getting their problems solved now. There’s some people out there in a terrible position and maybe that is about to improve! We live in hope.
As for us, after chasing Taylor Wimpey head office/customer service on Friday I had a copy of a letter sent over this morning which sounds very positive indeed for our personal situation. Again, we can only hope it bears fruit and things do improve. We’ve felt positive like this before and had our hopes dashed, this time it does seem different.
Hope so.
I’ve had some positive murmurings with regard setting up a public forum here for residents to share their experiences, and basically use as they please as an online community for our community here in the Oxley Woods eco houses.
I’m working on it, and will get it set up as soon as possible. Nothing fancy, but it’ll be there if anyone wants to use it.
