Food hygiene
The new Scores on the Doors website launched on 16 June 2009 makes councils' food hygiene ratings available to the public for the first time.
Four local eateries which are open to the general public get the top rating of five stars: McDonald's at the Green Road roundabout; Subway in central Headington; the Brookes Training Restaurant; and the Mediterranean Fish Bar in Cherwell Drive.
At the bottom end of the scale, the following four are listed as having “very poor” kitchen hygiene standards: the Hang Chow Chinese Restaurant and Yummy in central Headington; the Madeira Supermarket at the Roundway; and the Bricklayers Arms in Marston. They all failed to get a star at all in the rating system, and have been given either a written warning or an enforcement notice to improve or else face court action.
Twelve establishments in Headington and Marston which are not open to the general public also get the top five-star rating: Mulberry Guest House; Cotuit Hall; Galliano's at Brookes: Albany Nursing Home; Kids Unlimited Nursery; Sandfield Day Nursery; Ruskin Hall; Slade Park Fire Station; Carillion Health at the JR; Aramark at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre; Catermasters at Sobell House Hospice; and Centromere in Roosevelt Drive. |

91 Lime Walk: The appeal by MKD Property Developments against the area committee decision in May 2008 to demolish 91 Lime Walk and replace it with a block of 4 x 2 bed flats (fronting Cecil Sharpe Place) and a terrace of 3x3 bed dwellings has been dismissed.
This house was originally called Summerville, and was built when Lime Walk was first laid out in the 1880s. It then had a nursery to the north and south, and was the home and workplace of the florist John R. Mattock before he built a new house for himself at 90 Windmill Road near his father’s house.

Two earlier planning applications were both turned down and subsequently dismissed on appeal: the first was for 5×three-bed terraced houses and 2×one- bed flats; and the second for 4×one-bed houses and 5 x one-bed flats, with the retention of the existing single-storey unit at the rear for commercial use and provision of on-site car parking.

Ruskin College’s move to Headington
On Wednesday 27 February students protested outside Ruskin Hall in Old Headington against Ruskin College’s plan to move its headquarters from Walton Street to Ruskin
Hall from 2009.
Ruskin has submitted a Masterplan (for consultation only) for its Headington site, and this was welcomed at the North-East Area Committee meeting on 22 January. Councillors felt, however, that Dunstan Road should remain the main access point to the site, rather than Stoke Place.
The Masterplan includes a new library (to be named after former Prime Minister Jim Callaghan) and
a new teaching area next to the Rookery. Some buildings (including Bowen House and the Bowerman Building) will be demolished and replaced by new accommodation.
Ruskin was granted planning permission (with conditions) at the Area Committee meeting on 17 June to remove the temporary building housing the nursery plus other structures within the walled gardens, and to erect a free-standing dining hall, together with hard and soft landscaping works and an ornamental pond.

Brookes plans opposed
Oxford Brookes University has submitted plans for "a new student centre building consisting of lecture theatre, library, teaching accommodation and social facilities, plus linked extension to the Abercrombie building and arcaded building to new entrance piazza to Headington Road" on the site of the former Darcy building, which was demolished on 13 August 2008.
Opposition is growing to this proposed six-storey building, and the plan was condemned in "Nooks and Corners" of Private Eye Private Eye No. 1238 (12 June–25 June 2009).
On 22 June 2009 Brookes submitted plans for ten banners on the Headington Road/Gipsy Lane and four on the Headington Hill Hall site.
Brookes has also applied for Conservation Area consent for "Demolition of Lloyd building and architectural workshop":
Background: Brookes's vision
A public consultation on various proposals for the multi-million pound redevelopment
of Brookes’s Headington campus was held in February 2008,
to which 66 Headington residents (not including Brookes staff
and students) responded. They preferred the option that included
(1) replacing the large Darcy building with a new public square
facing on to the Headington Road, where buses could to pull
off the main road, leading on to a courtyard with shared student/community
facilities (such as shops, cafés, library); and (2)
replacing the Helena Kennedy building with a series of buildings
with spaces for graduations, large conferences, and live concert
performances.
Another public consultation was held in November 2008.
The masterplan submitted by Brookes to Oxford City Council
in March 2008 was only a consultation document. It was discussed by the Strategic Development Committee
on 26 September 2008 and although planning officers welcomed it,
they raised concerns about the scale of the new buildings and
their relation to listed structures.

Headington Car Club
A new community car club for Headington is now in operation in conjunction with Commonwheels, a national organization already running a successful car scheme in Cowley.
As registration takes some time, it is a good idea to sign up for the scheme before you actually need to borrow a car. You can then book it instantly online if an emergency occurs.
So far one car is available in central Headington, but eventually all residents shoud be within a 5–10 minute walk of a car parked in a marked bay provided by the Council.
Local people who join the scheme can hire the car for a period of time from half an hour up to several days, from as little as £4 an hour (plus mileage). Members are issued with a Smartcard which unlocks the vehicle, and booking can be made by phone or online via Commonwheels.

Slade Barracks development
A new planning application for the former Territorial Army Barracks in the Slade seeks to increase the number of student rooms in this development from 353 to 374.
The project, which will cost £30m, is being funded jointly by Unite Group and Julian Hodge Bank.
Berkeley Homes was granted permission in June 2008 to
build 353 student study bedrooms and 72 houses and flats on
the site, which they bought for £11 million (of which £8 million went to Oxford City Council and £3 million to the Ministry of Defence).
The Territorial Army’s 7 Rifle moved from the Slade to Dalton Barracks in Abingdon in 2008. The South African War
Memorial is the centrepiece of the new TA centre.
The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Collection housed in Headington has been packed up, and it is hoped that it will eventually be rehoused in a building next to the museum in Woodstock.

Telecoms masts
Vodafone is discussing the possibility of a phone mast on St Michael and All Angels Church in Jack Straw's Lane.

O2 Limited were granted permission in 2008 for “Installation of telecommunications equipment comprising 3 × panel antennae, radio equipment housing and associated cabling” at Headington Telephone Exchange at 43 London Road (behind Sainsbury’s).
This is partly to replace a mast at Brookes University that is likely to be lost through redevelopment.

Cafés or shops?

Caffe Toscano opened in the former Chef's Pantry delicatessen in November.
