Hornton Lane to be closed from Monday September 30th thru Monday October 14th

Oxfordshire County Council have arranged the closure of this road in order to deal with the badger sett undermining the road. Although the closure is from 30 September until 14 October it is likely to be reopened as soon as the work is completed.

The works taking place are between Glebe Farm and the Millers Lane junction into Hornton.  OCC will be arranging for appropriate signage to be erected, including a diversion to avoid the works.

Wanted – Suitable Homes for Feral Kittens

‘Dear rural friends of Horley and surroundings. Are any of you in need of feral cats for a farm or stable setting? BARKS (Banbury Animal Rescue & Kindness Service), with whom I volunteer, have a litter of feral kittens and three-four of them will need a home in a few weeks’ time. We try to ‘turn’ them to being domesticated – and some will move in that direction – but at least three of these little critters need to go to a home where they will be well sheltered, fed and cared for but they will be ‘working cats’. (Two more are already going to a good semi-feral home, thanks to the kindness of a local villager.) They will arrive neutered and microchipped.

If you’re interested, please contact our Bodicote rescue centre either before this Sunday or after Sunday 7 September – speak to Theresa on 07427 063178′. Chris Woodcock
