The new once a week bus service to Banbury started last week and will run every Thursday as follows:
A Horley resident who tried out the service last week gave this report:
‘It provides a quick and flexible way to get to and from Banbury without the use of a car. The journey starts from Hornton then through Horley etc. Depending on the requirements of the passengers the driver will go to the Banbury bus station or miss that out and go straight to the Gateway Retail Park. There is certainly enough time to shop there and or in Banbury etc.
As you can see from the timetable the bus will pick you up from the retail park for the return journey so no need to use the current service to get back to Banbury. Speak to the driver on the inward journey and he will adapt the route to suit the passengers.
The service is free to everyone both young and old, infirm or not.
Speaking to the driver he explained that the service was not a trial run but was intended to be a permanent feature. However, he did go on to say that after a period of time, it is quite possible that the popularity of the service will be looked at and if it was not used to any great extent it could be stopped.
The provision of a bus service has been the subject of much debate with pressure being applied on the council regularly. So please use the bus. It is flexible, comfortable and gives you enough time for shopping.‘
The grass is growing already so we’ve arranged for the annual village litter pick to take place earlier this year, on Saturday 2nd March.
If you can spare half an hour or so to help out, please gather in front of the Old Post Office on the corner of Banbury Lane at 10:00 on 2nd March. Litter pickers, protective gloves and rubbish and recycling bags will be provided by CDC. Please wear gloves (your own or those provided by CDC) to protect yourself against any risk of infection, and take care to wash your hands thoroughly after the Litter Pick has been completed.

Thanks to all those who helped make the Horley quiz held on Friday 3rd February such a success. We had a great turnout – in fact, we would not have been able to fit many more into the Old School!
Teams puzzled over crops grown around Horley; beers served in the Red Lion, road sign locations and kitchen cupboard ingredients amongst other things.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped on the night.
The quiz raised £600 to be split between two worthy charities: The Katherine House Hospice and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
