Help the Campaign by our Local MP to Save Services at the Horton General
Victoria Prentis, Member of Parliament for North Oxfordshire, is encouraging her constituents to take part in her campaign, #Banbury2JR, collecting information on journey times to the John Radcliffe Hospital (JR) in Oxford.
In encouraging constituents to take part in the campaign, Victoria commented: “Following the downgrade of the Horton maternity unit, I remain extremely concerned about travel times to the John Radcliffe. The journey can be so unpredictable and parking times must be taken into account. These variables need to be considered ahead of the consultation on NHS services in Oxfordshire. It would be brilliant if as many people as possible get involved in the campaign to give us a good indication of true journey times from Banbury.”
If you are travelling to the JR from the Banbury area, please fill out this survey
or print this form and post to:
Victoria Prentis MP, Heyford Park House, Upper Heyford, Bicester, OX25 5HD.

Village Alert: Look out for suspicious activity and check your security measures
Neighbourhood officers are asking residents in the villages immediately surrounding Banbury to check their security measures following a recent increase in house burglaries.
Five incidents have been reported in the last fortnight in the villages of Wroxton, Shutford, Cropredy, Upper Tadmarton and further, towards Chipping Norton. Officers making door-to-door enquiries believe that it’s possible that other attempts on nearby properties have also occurred but not been reported to police.
Any suspicious activity or individuals must be reported to 101 unless you are witnessing a crime in action when you should dial 999.
