County Council : Oxford to Cambridge Expressway letter

Oxfordshire County Council will work with Highways England on the development of the vision for the English Economic Heartland and the Oxford to Cambridge Arc on the understanding that they will expedite the realisation of the East West Rail Link.

The development of the railway line will ensue the delivery of the rowth and housing required, without the environmental impact of a road cutting across the centre of rural England.

Building the expressway flies in the face of Oxfordshire’s commitment to reduce the use of the car.  An action which is necessary to tackle the climate change emergency, which Local Government, including Oxfordshire has signed up to.

 

Oxfordshire does not support the building of the Expressway irrespective of which route is chosen.

Christmas and New Year 2019

There are lots of things going on for Christmas and New year, both in the village, and nearby.  So I wanted to create a special christmas/new-year calendar to show all the things you could do.  Note that I hope this page will show more over the coming weeks, so please do look back.

If you know of any other events happening in the village, or that would be of strong interest to the local villagers, please do let me know using the sites contact form, and I will try to get them added.
