Temporary Traffic Regulation Order – S14 Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984
Temporary Road Closures – at North Moreton – Sands Road, Dunsomer Hill, High Street and ong Wittenham Road
In the interests of public safety it will be necessary for Oxfordshire County Council to close the roads as detailed above in order to facilitate carriageway maintenance works.
A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) is being made to implement the temporary closures and will operate from 23 June 2014. The estimated duration of the works is 15 days ( Closure 1 – 5 days) and (Closure 2 – 10 days).
(The maximum duration of a TTRO on a road is 18 months and on a footpath is 6 months, or until completion of the works, whichever is the earlier.)
Notice of intention to make the Order will be published in the local press.
Access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles and also overnight access for those frontages within the closure areas, subject to the progress of the works. Please note that access routes will depend on exactly where the works vehicles are at any time and may need to be negotiated with the gang on site as necessary.
Please note that road closures are generally signed from junction to junction. This is to deter drivers from driving right up to the works site and then having to reverse or make tight turns. We are, though, very aware that drivers often ignore signage, both permanent and temporary, and increasingly they just follow their Satnavs!
Further information regarding the works may be obtained by contacting Bob Burgess, OCC Highways & Transport on 0845 310 11 11
In order to get the rec ground usable Helen Ball has kindly organised a tractor and rake which will be raking the grass cuttings up.
We need volunteers to help pick up the grass once it’s in heaps so look forward to seeing you there.
12pm start, shouldn’t take more than an hour.
This is a community message from Thames Valley Police.
Please come along, this is your opportunity to speak with your neighbourhood officers to discuss any local issues of concern you may have. If you are unable to attend but wish to speak with your neighbourhood officers, please call 101.
