Communication with Stagecoach re the 200 bus service

Please see below communication between Cllr Malcolm Patterson and Stagecoach re the 200 bus service: 'Dear Mr Harrison Stagecoach 200 Bus Service between Banbury & Daventry and stopping in Wardington/Williamscot As you are no doubt aware Stagecoach announced the closure of this hourly service in February.

HS2 Notice – Road closures and construction updates

Notice from EKFB on behalf of HS2 This is an update on some construction and road closure activity taking place soon. We will soon be installing the temporary bridge in Chipping Warden. It should be quite impressive to see, as it involves a large crane with careful manoeuvring, but it will involve some weekend road closures. There is also quite a lot of activity taking place in Boddington and Wormleighton, and so I have attached a draft copy of the AWN for the Boddington and Wormleighton areas. Notice of traffic management near Wormleighton and Lower Boddington September 2022_Final_ I have also attached a road closure look-ahead. This gives you a summary of the planned closure dates and you will see

Update on HS2 Precast tunnel segment deliveries

Good news regarding the Sunday morning precast deliveries. Message from EKFB on behalf of HS2 After a period of testing and modifications, we have adapted the way we load and transport the largest precast segments. This method reduces the width of the load, which will mean no additional traffic management will be required. With immediate effect, we will no longer routinely be delivering the precast segments using the Sunday morning lane closures. The widest segments will now arrive mid-week, as part of the regular precast delivery schedule to Chipping Warden Compound.
