Knowing of your interest in the work on the A361, I thought you might like to see a copy of the reply I have received from Oxfordshire County Council following a letter I wrote to the Chief Executive regarding the Chacombe to Wardington Road. Best wishes, Tony Baldry Steve Howell re Chacombe to Wardington road 190911
In the interests of public safety it will be necessary for Oxfordshire County Council to close a short section of the A361 to facilitate carriageway patching and iron works. A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order is being made to implement the temporary closure and will operate from Monday 17 October 2011. The estimated duration of the works is 3 days. (The maximum duration of such a temporary closure will be 18 months or until completion of the works whichever is the earlier.) Very limited access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles and also overnight access for those residents within the closure area, subject to the progress of the works. Please note that access routes will depend on exactly where the
We are hoping to arrange a coach party to the Royal and Derngate theatre on Saturday 10th December to see Alice in Wonderland. The performance starts at 5:15pm so it is ideal for families, and I understand it's very funny. Anyone who has been to this theatre will be aware that their standard is extremely high - we have had quite a few trips there during the last few years. We will have to book very soon as seats are already going fast, and so if you would like to join us perhaps you would be good enough to let me know as soon as possible and then I can get on and book everything up.

We have received the following news bulletin from the Environment Agency with a new date for the re-opening of the road. This is not good news and we have made our feeling's known. There was a meeting on Wednesday attended by District Councillor Atack and all parties concerned to sort out traffic arrangements for the Cropredy festival which will be going ahead. Full details of these will be available soon. Oxfordshire CC have this week been repairing all the potholes along the Chacombe road and on the Thorpe Road out of Wardington. Any new potholes should still be reported to them Tel 0845 310 11 11 or via the OCC website Extended road closure on A361 Following discussions, the Environment
We are still awaiting more news from the Environment Agency following their announcement last week of delays to the work on the A361 and are doing all we can to press for answers. Changes are having to be made to the work already done regarding the width of the road. No date is available for the re-opening of the road but it is likely that the work will continue until the end of the Summer. Discussions are currently taking place between all parties as to how traffic will be managed for the Cropredy festival which will take place. This is far from ideal but we will try and keep everyone informed as we receive more news. Oxfordshire highways have agreed
There will be a kids' barbecue at Wardington Manor on Friday 15th July at 4:30 pm - this coming Friday. There will be Hot Dogs with Mumford's sausages and all kids from the village and their parents are very welcome. The swimming pool will also be open for the kids so bring along swimming kit if the weather's good enough. Parents please note that it's up to you to bring arm bands or other flotation aids as we can't be held responsible for children who can't swim! The food is free, but all donations towards the Village Hall will be very gratefully received. Anybody who is able to donate fruit, cakes and general pudding items, please bring them along.
If you've ever wanted to have a go at bell ringing, now is your opportunity! One of our regular team has left meaning that there's now no cover for holidays or sickness. The team are therefore looking for a part-time volunteer to help out on occasion. Full details can be obtained from Rev. Pat Freeth at The Vicarage, Cropredy, OX17 1NG, tel 01295 750980, email pfreeth@toucansurf.com Whilst any volunteers are welcome to stay for the service, it's by no means a prerequisite so please don't think that you're signing up for every service as well!
