Consultation on allotment access

The County Council has just launched a consultation on the allotment access created by EWR off the Bicester Road.

This is the official Public Notice together with the County’s Statement of Reasons

The detailed plan is available together with the wider picture plan.

The Consultation is available on the County Council website at https://consultations.oxfordshire.gov.uk/BicesterRdNRT/consultationHome

and will close on 18 June.

Bicester Road Closure – Saturday 8 May

The East West Rail team have had to put in an urgent over night road closure of the Bicester Road for Saturday – 8 May.

They will be working from 7pm Saturday evening until 5am Sunday morning.

Bicester Road, Launton will be closed whilst they carry out the resurfacing of the new allotment access.  East West Rail apologises for any inconvenience this causes and for the late notice of the work. Regrettably, they were unable to carry out the works earlier due to a machine breaking down.

There will be noisy activity early in the night for around an hour where they are planning the joints, after which there will be lorries and the paving machine at the site.

If there are any queries or concerns, please email publicinformation@ewralliance.co.uk or call the 24 hr helpline on 03457 11 41 41

May Meeting

Due to the loss of the ability for Parish Councils to meet virtually after 6 May, the Parish Council will be holding the May meeting, to formally constitute the new Council, on Thursday 20 May at 7.30pm on the grass OUTSIDE the Parish Hall.

It will only be a short meeting with essential business including the election of the Chairman and the co-option of one Councillor .  If you are interested in putting yourself forward for co-option, see our ‘Becoming a Councillor‘ page, complete the form and send it me.

We will not hold the usual open discussion from 7pm that evening.
