BBC Radio Oxford Coming to Grove!

I was delighted to join Clare Woodling (see photo above) in Millbrook Square this afternoon to talk about the hot topics in Grove.  The BBC are coming to the village this weekend for their Big Tour of Oxfordshire which will be launched LIVE from Millbrook Square this Saturday morning 22nd March between 8am - 10am.  The Tour’s visit will culminate with Malcolm Boyden bringing his show live from  Wheelers Butchers on Friday 28th March.  I do hope that residents will come along to have their say about our community here.

There are huge challenges on the horizon with all the extra housing developments which are planned around us, and I know that residents are rightly concerned about the delivery of infrastructure and how this will change our area.   We discussed the Grove Airfield and Monks Farm proposals, public transport (and lack of!),  the re-opening of the rail station, the effects of the works on the A338 bridge due to the rail electrification project, better broadband, our local businesses and community and voluntary groups.  There are lots more stories to tell, but please get in touch with Clare at her email: clare.woodling@bbc.co.uk or telephone her on 01865 889099 (mobile 07850 785849) if you have any local issues you would like to discuss.
