At around 4.30pm on Tuesday (19/7) a large disturbance involving a number of people occurred at the Buscot Weir, near the A417 on the border of both Gloucestershire and Swindon.
Several young people were assaulted, and others were racially abused. One victim suffered a broken cheekbone and was taken to hospital. Investigating Officer, PC John Cleverly of Local CID, based at Abingdon police station, said: “We are appealing for witnesses following this assault and racial abuse on a number of victims. We would like anyone who was at Buscot Weir and saw this incident to come forward". “We would be particularly keen on hearing from anyone who may have video or audio footage of this incident which could help us with our investigation". “Anyone with information should call 101 asking for Thames Valley Police quoting reference 43160198758”. The County Council is consulting on the Stanford Tip to set a new plan for household waste recycling (HWRC).
Responses are needed by 14 August 2016 to : www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/waste The Stanford Tip is to stay open until 2024, but the County Council must save money on the service provided at the tips and is seeking information on the best opening times and best service possible. It is also important to ensure that future tip development is not concentrated away from the west of the county. In the interests of public safety it will be necessary for Oxfordshire County Council to close the road as detailed above in order to facilitate carriageway repair works. A temporary Notice is being made to implement the temporary closure and will operate on the days shown above. Please note that Notices for urgent works can last up to 5 consecutive days only. Emergency Notices can last up to 21 consecutive days.
Access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles and also limited access for those properties within the closure area, subject to the progress of the works. Please note that access routes will depend on exactly where the works vehicles are at any time and may need to be negotiated with the gang on site as necessary. A copy of the drawings showing the extent of the closure and also the alternative routes for traffic is available. Further information regarding the works may be obtained by contacting Vanessa Buckley, OCC Highways & Transport on 0845 310 11 11. Should there be dead animals, litter or graffiti that needs removal from anywhere in our parish please contact BIFFA - 03000 610610.
If you see anything on the road that is or could become a hazard, contact Highways - 08453 101111. Other street issues such as street lighting or pot holes, please use the website: www.fixmystreet.com/ |
