Fabulous Flowers sold bouquets of flowers.

Lottie’s Bakeaway sold boxes of cupcakes tied with red bows.

The Shed sold wicker hearts.

It was Valentine’s Day today, and it fell on the same day as the start of Lent. Some of the Abingdon churches held Ash Wednesday services. The Caldecott Road roundabout had a banner: ‘You are Loved.’

New Zebra Crossing on Northcourt Road

6 Replies


A zebra crossing on Northcourt Road, near Dunmore Primary School, has been built to make pedestrians safer. This road sees a lot of traffic, especially during school hours. (According to crashmap.co.uk, there have been three minor accidents on this stretch since 2018). The new crossing was built over an existing speed bump and funded by Oxfordshire County Council. The final carriageway work was planned for half term and took a day.
