Roadworks Update

Catching up after returning from my summer holidays, I thought I would update residents on roadworks which are either ongoing or forthcoming over the coming weeks which could affect us.

A34 Chilton Improvement

Local road closures for five nights started on 15th August this week.  These closures will be in place from 8.30pm until 6am and are needed so that the team can carry out remodelling and resurfacing work on the roundabout.

There will also be nightly lane closures on the A34 southbound for around eight weeks to tie the new off-slip into the main road.  From 30th August for around six weeks, the northbound lane 1 will be closed nightly from 8pm - 6am.

I am sure many of you have noticed that much has been achieved over the last few months as the site takes shape which will benefit commuters for years to come.

Frideswide Square Improvements

Work to carry out some minor repairs and alterations on Frideswide Square in Oxford will begin on Monday 22nd August.

The County Council's contractor, Skanska, will begin two weeks' worth of work to slightly alter the kerb line outside the Royal Oxford Hotel along with repairing and strengthening a small area which has been damaged by vehicles running over the paving.

Work is being undertaken to take advantage of the quietest time of year on the roads, and hopes to be complete in time for St. Giles Fair in Oxford.

You can sign up for regular updates and newsletters regarding traffic management around the County by going to the Oxfordshire County Council website link Travel Choices.

My next surgery date in September will be on

Saturday 3rd September 10.30am - 11.30 am in Grove Library.  No appointment necessary.

Apologies for missing the August deadline for the newsletter this month, but I was on holiday at the time.  I shall update you with my usual report in the September issue.
