The chairman of Oxford City Council's north area committee, Stephen Brown, left, is pictured giving a cheque for £12,819 to Marianne Moxon, centre, chairman of Cutteslowe Community Association, and her colleague Alan Reed.

Ms Moxon said: "We were in desperate need of a new storage area for various community groups, such as the children's playscheme group, dance and art club, discussion group and senior groups."

Mr Brown said the council aimed to strengthen community bonds.
