Keeping Iffley and wider community informed
FOIV’s remit is to conserve and preserve our village. This requires constant vigilance by your Committee not least in sensitive areas, eg Horse Field, Court Place, etc. where a named Committee member is charged with protecting Iffley’s interest. For general planning issues, please contact Phil Hart on planning@friendsofiffley.org

Prince of Wales’s future Is this a tenancy issue or viability of the business? We await Wadsworth’s next steps. In the meantime we are exploring registering it as a community asset as its use ‘furthers the social wellbeing / social interests of the local community’ and hopefully this would afford some protection against change of use.
