Your weekly round-up of local news for 3 – 9 September .

1970s Norwegian speedway star Dag Lövaas who rode for Oxford Rebels in 1975 is appearing at @TheAmpleforth in Risinghurst on Friday this week (14th).

The controversial planning application for the new Swan School in Marston was rejected by the East Area Planning Committee on Wednesday. You can be sure this won’t be the end of the story! There’s a good write-up by @OxMailSophieG in the Oxford Mail.

It’s becoming a habit. The Headington Beer Festival at @TheMasonsArmsHQ had, er, run out of beer by Sunday morning. The perils of success!

My favourite Headington-related tweet:

Tell them to start in #Headington as there’s drivers around there who can’t even see pavements and double yellows! #carsoffpavements pic.twitter.com/DJy9uckS7r

The Headington & Marston e-democracy forum remains comatose with no new posts again this week.
