Residents driving into Wantage may already have seen the signs displayed on the A338 warning that the road will be closed between Elms Farm and the Mably Way roundabout for 6 weeks beginning 6th September for roadworks. This will certainly cause disruption for Grove because the proposed diversion will be sending traffic around the village along Oxford Lane, Denchworth Road, Newlands Drive and Mably Way. Residents will find this very disruptive I am sure, and I am trying to find out why the road has to be closed for so long - will keep you posted once I get a reply!

Great timing NOT, just as the kids go back to school - traffic's bad enough on a school day as it is, getting kids from Grove to KA's, and before you say kids should walk to school, our son can't as he has CFS...just what we need, more flipping expense petrol wise as well as the inconvenience :(
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I am sure the diversion through Grove will cause a large amount of disruption and inconvenience. As you will see from my next post, it also coincides with other works in Wantage.
