A Big Thank-You to the Hardy Litter Pickers!

 ‘The Parish Council would like to convey their thanks to all the hardy souls who turned out last Saturday morning to carry out the annual litter pick. It is noticeable how much tidier the verges are now, and an impressive pile of rubbish was collected on what was a bitterly cold morning. Well done and thank you everyone.’

David Marriott, Horley Parish Clerk

Hornton Lane To Be Closed: 9 – 13 April

Oxfordshire County Council have made arrangements to carry out some repairs to Hornton Lane, between Lane Close and Church Lane.  The works are scheduled to take place between 9 and 13 April, and a road closure will be in force to enable the works to be carried out safely.

In practice, it is expected that the closure will only apply between 9.30am and 3.30pm, and that access will be maintained to frontages.  However, diversion signs will be in place.
