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.

Calling all bell-ringers

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.

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!
