Advance warning that the part of the Denchworth Road between Mably Way and Newlands Drive will be closed for 3 days from 14 January for maintenance works. This is the piece of road that divides the old airfield and Wasbrough Field and, despite various attempts at patching, has been in need of attention for some time (see photos above). There will be the usual exemptions for emergency vehicles.
On the subject of roads, I was interested to read the other day that there is no national definition of a pothole and hence they cannot be accurately counted! This was revealed in the Progress Report of the Government Potholes Review commissioned by Norman Baker as Transport Minister. As far as I know, Oxfordshire County Council uses a depth of 40mm and a diameter of 150mm for a pothole to be investigated (see here).
Strangely, back in 1967, John Lennon seemed to have no such problem....
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
