The large hole that unearthed an old coal cellar under the High Street pavement has been filled in. The pavement has been made as good as new – possibly better.

Alongside another hole has been dug, not quite as deep as the first. Traffic passes in single file at this point, and buses cannot use the High Street bus stops for the third or fourth week in a row.

Bus stops on the High Street in Abingdon have been closed for the last week because of work opposite.

Anybody wanting to catch a bus from Abingdon to Oxford will need to go instead to Stratton Way.

Thames Water are improving our sewer system, and have opened up a very big hole. They expect work to finish on 20-05-2016,

The barriers have gone from the top end of Stert Street. It looks as if the Culvert Repairs have been finally completed.

Just a few signs remain in Old Station Yard. The final part of the work took 8 weeks approximately.

Protective barriers have been there since December 2011. So the project took 4 years and 3 months.

Businesses have been closed today because of a power cut affecting properties on the north side of Abingdon High Street from 6am this morning.

Scottish and Southern Power, our local network provider, took over the Market Place at lunch time, and began using sniffing devices to find the fault.

Since then they have dug holes outside Outdoor Traders, and Helen and Douglas House and have been working hard late into the evening to rectify the problem.
