ABILITY Local Community Bus Service for Wardington and Williamscot Following the temporary closure of the A361 the Stagecoach 200 Bus Service to Banbury has been unable to run. The Parish Council again has been in contact with the ABILITY Local Community Bus Service who are able to help. Originally the Ability service was setup in April 2022 following the notification that Stagecoach were to withdraw the Daventry to Banbury service. However, this did not happen and the Ability service was rarely used. Ability are able to operate a regular service into Banbury on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you require another route, let ABILITY know. Future services will depend on supply and demand. There are 3 different membership categories: Pick-up and
Flood in Upper Wardington Wardington Parish Council have been in contact with OCC Engagement Team for Highway Maintenance regarding this problem. Since then, the drains have been pumped but with no significant result. The issue has now been escalated via the OCC Engagement team to the Land Drainage Officer and we have stressed that this is an emergency priority. When action will be taken, we have no time frame, we can only hope that it is sooner rather than later. The parish council understand that residents are becoming more and more disgruntled. However, the parish council cannot resolve the problem on its own, it can only report and apply pressure to the responsible authorities. Wardington Parish Council

A361 - Road Closure between Wardington and Chipping Warden This morning 2nd December 2024 we received the follow message from Cllr George Reynolds:- I have been contacted about the road closure. Apparently a sink hole has appeared but OCC think the bridge is okay but they will need to wait for the water to go down or ditches cleared so it can drain away before they examine the bridge structure. Then they will have to do repairs Clearly this will all take time so do not expect a quick opening of the road. I have made the point that they must work with HS2 to prevent their traffic using the minor roads. I suspect there is not a lot can

Cardiac Arrest or a heart attack can happen to anyone. When it does, having someone on hand who knows how to perform CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) and use a defibrillator is critical and can save a life. We have had a defibrillator in place in Wardington for some time but many people have told us in the past they would not be confident in using resuscitation techniques or in using the defibrillator. In response to this the Parish Council has arranged a Defibrillator and CPR Training session for parishioners with the support of St John Ambulance which will take place from 10:30am to 12-12:30pm at Wardington Memorial Hall on Saturday 28th September. All are welcome to attend (including responsible teenagers

HS2 - Wardington Traffic Update - Changes In the recent update the diversion route for the Wardington Road closures showed the wrong route on the PDF that was circulated. Apologies, as you know already, there is no access through the Edgcote Estate to Chipping Warden. The correct diversion is through Wardington and I have amended our maps. Our construction traffic will not be using this route through Wardington, it is purely a diversion route for members of the public who aren’t familiar with the area. I have attached an amended version of the 'lookahead' presentation to this email with the map change. The 1 day Wardington Road closure planned for 15 January has been cancelled. The survey work planned
