Warwick Road Planned Closure Number of Days Reduced

Thanks for your efforts Horley Parish Council and other affected villages we have now a reduction from 8 weeks to 2 weeks that the road will be closed. Here the email from the contractors and a copy of the letter from Thames Water:

Good afternoon,
I am writing to send you the enclosed update letter regarding our revised plans to close Warwick Road.
We have been able to reduce the duration from eight weeks to two and will hope to improve on that.
I realise that the diversion route is not ideal and understand concerns raised but we have a bit more time to resolve some of those issues now.
I would be most grateful if you would please circulate this information among your parishes.

Special Parish Council Meeting – July 14th

Are you concerned about the impact on our village of the closure of the B4100?

There will be a special Parish Council meeting at 7.30 on Thursday July 14th in the Old School to consider the closure of the Warwick Road for 8 weeks starting on 10 August.

This meeting is open to the public.

Agenda Items:

  1. Apologies
  2. Declaration of Interests
  3. Recently the Council has become aware of plans to close the B4100 Warwick Road for a period of 8 weeks from 10 August to 6 October, to facilitate the building of a new sewer.  The closure will be in the vicinity of Dukes Meadow, and will mean that traffic from Horley into Banbury will be required to find an alternative route.  The Parish Council has not been consulted on these proposals, and has had no opportunity to comment.Oxfordshire County Council has been invited to provide an officer to attend the meeting to provide further details, to explain the reasons for the road closure, and the measures which will be put in place to minimise the impact on Horley.
  4. Date of next meeting: 25 August 2016
