Notes related to service D:
• Times are subject to change due to fleet/operator availability, and each route might operate on different days
• Mollington and Little Bourton now served frequently by Stagecoach service 77A, six days per week
• Cropredy served by routes 497 and 501 on Thursdays and Saturdays • Claydon served by route 497 on Thursdays
• R indicates that the service operates to these points on request only
Particular questions related to service D:
• Is there enough time in Banbury for each service?
• What days of the week should this service run, bearing in mind the existing provision for Cropredy and Claydon?
• Is a minibus (16 seats) likely to be sufficient?
• Is there likely to be sufficient demand for this service?
Oxfordshire County Council is inviting applications for 20mph speed limits from communities who currently do not have them. The County Council would fund all the legal work as well as signage etc.
The Parish Council discussed this subject at their recent meeting and makes a strong recommendation that the application process be started. If successful, the limits should be in place by the end of 2025.
The Parish Council would welcome the residents’ views on this subject. Please send your comments to the Parish Clerk.

Not long now till the Coronation!
Horley bells will be ‘Ringing for the King’ on Saturday 6th May from 15:15 to 16:00 – listen out and/or come to the Church to watch.
Then on Sunday 7th May it’s the village Coronation Lunch at Hadsham Farm.
Lots of you have already booked tables and chairs to be sure you don’t need to bring them with you – and they can be decorated in advance if you are feeling creative! There are still a few left which can be booked by emailing: horleyladiesguild@gmail.com or by asking any of the Ladies Guild.
You are also welcome to just come along on the day – there are picnic tables outside or you could bring your own chairs to make sure you get a seat indoors if the weather doesn’t look too promising!
And don’t forget there will be a celebratory cake and fizz!
