The Parish Council has received the following email regarding the Network Rail works:

As we have previously updated, the brick arch which we discovered below the road under the rail bridge has caused us significant additional challenges, to what was already a complex project. This unfortunately has delayed our progress, meaning we are now behind schedule.

With the rail bridge scheduled to

be replaced at end of July next year, it’s vital we complete our ongoing preparation work ahead of then. To ensure we can make up the lost timeand  meet this key deadline, the County Council have agreed that the roadunder the bridge will remain closed until October 2024.

We appreciate this news will cause further frustration to you and others amongst the local community. As mentioned in the letter, we will be holding a community drop-in next Wednesday at West Oxford Community Centre, so members of the project team will be available to discuss further.

They have also sent a letter; to view, click here.

A representative from Kier Infrastructure (on behalf of Network Rail) has offered to come to the village and speak to residents.  The Parish Council is working to arrange this and will provide more details on this once available.
