After The Snow…


pavements in the town centre – that got treated – still have all the grit and salt and sand…

torrents of snow melt look to be going down the River Ock which has been on flood watch since yesterday…

and as the sun goes down, the water on the Cricket Fields just has nowhere to run away. The River Thames alongside is also on flood watch from today.

Shopping Centre Consultation


Option 1 shows…

  • Improving the appearance of the shopping centre, and the gradual replacement and enlargement of the existing shops.
  • The redevelopment of the Cargo and Somerfield stores with more modern shopping units on the ground floor with a new library and health centre above.
  • A major new store with car parking above. That’s the big orange block at the top of Option 1.


The consultation made the BBC Oxford News. They want people’s opinions. Its on again today and Monday in one of the empty shops.

Fresh Snow

A week after the first snow, yesterday brought fresh snow overnight and through the day.

Schools were open, and most children trudged through the snow – this time – rather than getting to play out.
Today the rain has set in, so it is all starting to wash away.
