In recognition of Anti-Bullying Week, Oxfordshire housebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes has donated a friendship bench to Dunmore Primary School in Abingdon.
Close to the developer’s Abbey Fields and Kings Gate developments, the school has received a bench inscribed with ‘We sit, we chat and ask each other questions. We leave as friends, with all good intentions’, for its pupils to use when they need to talk to someone.
Anti-Bullying Week takes place from Monday 14th to Friday 18th November.
Oxfordshire housebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes have also given developer funding towards upgrading the A34 interchange at Lodge Hill to have south-facing slipways.
The planning application for the Lodge Hill interchange has been submitted and can be viewed and commented upon at https://myeplanning2.oxfordshire.gov.uk/Planning/Display/R3.0148/22.
Maybe now, people will stop griping on here. What used to be an enjoyable website has now gone the same way as the Oxford Mail in terms of comments.
I would have hoped that building several hundred homes would have generated sufficient profit to be more generous than a wooden bench.
The new junction looks like a death trap for cyclists to me.
Please don’t moan Tim. Sweetness and light….sweetness and light.
