At long last, it looks like repairs will be made this week to the the Camel roundabout (the junction between Mill Street, Denchworth Road and Ham Road) in Wantage. Most residents will be aware of the appalling "craters" at this roundabout (there is no way they can be called mere potholes!) and, not suprisingly, some people have even reported damage to their cars. Followers of this blog will know that I have photographed and reported this dreadul state of affairs many times since 24 February (see here, here and here) and it is now mid-April. We also had the bizarre situation where the white lines around the roundabout were repainted a few weeks ago - a complete waste of money given that it was obvious that the road would have to be dug up and repaired.
Anyway, as you can see from the photos above, equipment was being dropped off on Monday evening to start the repairs on Tuesday 16 April. There are planned to be 4-way temporary traffic lights in place for up to three days whilst the works go ahead, so please be prepared for disruption in that area.
