I just happened to check the County Council's website today and discovered that at long last they have decided to give some publicity to this major road closure next week at East Hendred. You can now read the story here. I have contacted both Thames Travel and Stagecoach bus companies to alert them to put the latest information on their websites too, and I notice now that this has now been updated on Thames Travel. Stagecoach do not run buses along this route, but they may well be affected by any delays due to the re-routing of traffic. Fortunately, it will be half term next week, so at least school buses won't be affected.

This closure has clearly not been thought out at all. I understand there is also rodworks at Marcham on the A415, causing problems on a possible alternative road.
ReplyDeleteWorking nights, in Didcot last night, took me over 50 minutes to get to work. It is my view that temp lights needed to be installed on the traffic calming swerve at Steventon and also on the "T" junction at Steventon.
Clearly Im not aware of "the bigger picture" but Im sure the people in Highways are paid a vast amount of money to deal with this sort of thing. Do they think by shutting the main road, there would not be knock on effects elsewhere?
It has also made it VERY clear to me, that when the extra 2500(+) houses in Grove are built, the road network WILL NOT cope.
