The first in our new meeting series "Mind Your Business" designed to support and inform local businesses.

Watlington Business Association (WBA) has organised a meeting with members of the Watlington Parish Council (WPC) planning committee on the Watlington Relief Road.

The key objective of the meeting is for the planning committee to listen to issues/concerns from the businesses in Watlington. There will be a presentation from the planning committee explaining where they are in the process.

The meeting will take place on Friday 3rd March at 5.30pm in the Function Room at The Watlington Club, 20 High Street. Anyone with a local business interested is invited to attend.
There will be ample opportunity for questions so come prepared!!

In addition, there will be two drop-in exhibitions organised by Oxfordshire County Council on Thursday 23rd February 6 - 8pm at Pyrton Village Hall and Thursday 9th March 6 - 8pm at The Watlington Club. Members of the WPC planning committee will again be available for questions.

If you are unable to attend either of these events in person, you can share your view on the proposals by completing an online questionnaire before 20th March. Visit https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/watlington-relief-road for more details.

Printed copies of the proposals and survey are available at Watlington Library.

If you would like to attend the WBA meeting on the 3rd March please register your attendance in advance using our Eventbrite page.

The WBA are looking for a someone to join their Management Committee. After elections were held at the AGM last week there remains one space on the committee. We welcome applications from anyone with a local business that is interested in joining the committee to further the aims of the organisation.

We meet once a month (excluding December & August). Time commitment between meetings entirely depends on what projects you would like to take on.

For more information please speak to any of the committee members listed on the contact us page or email [email protected].

Our AGM was held at The Spire & Spoke on Friday 7th October. Draft minutes are available below for inspection. 

​We would like to extend a huge thank you to Jan Willis, Susan Fotherby, Karyn Buck, Bill Buck, Loraine Smith (not pictured) and Robin Holmes-Smith for organising a fantastic Christmas Market! Without their hard work and dedication the market wouldn’t have happened and we’re sure you will agree that the market is the highlight of the town calendar! 
 
We are looking for two or more volunteers to join the Christmas Market Organising Committee. Specifically, we’re looking for some to organise the overall logistics of the market and some to manage marketing and social media for the event. If you are interested, please email [email protected].
