Morris Men and Fire Men Before the Mayor Making
Wednesday night was the Mayor Making in Abingdon. Duncan Brown, the new Mayor is both a Morris Dancer and part-time Fireman, and both were there to help. The morris dancers performed beforehand, and the Firemen helped get signatures for Duncan’s first charity fund raising event which involved throwing himself out of an aeroplane.
Mayor and Escourt
This is Duncan with his escourt, Sreeja, after the ceremony, saying goodbye to the ‘Honoured Guests’.
Mayor and Deputy Mayor
And here he is again with the new deputy mayor whose name escapes me for the moment. By the way Duncan is thirty three years old which seems quite young to me, but not so young as our new MP who is only thirty.

Are our politicians getting younger?

Expect Delays

Severe Delays - Find Alternative Route
Resurfacing work is to take place on the Marcham Road this coming Saturday. The notice warns Severe Delays Expected – Find Alternative Route.

But it does not say from what time to what and having searched on google I am none the wiser so cannot advise whether you should risk going to Tesco or not.
road works on Marcham Road
This is the culmination of the work to cut a corner off the McDonalds Roundabout and ease the way into Colwell Drive.
horse chestnut trees
The scheme got a bit controversial because a District Council Tree Officer slapped a tree protection notice on a Horse Chestnut tree and delayed the works.

Good to see that those Horse Chestnuts are still putting on a good show and the work is nearly complete.

Back of the Yellow Bus

In early June we will be seeing the back of the yellow Abingdon Town Bus for the last time, after four years in service.

A replacement timetable will also be needed.  Heyfordian Travel will replace Whites Coaches and on Saturday afternoon their service will run longer and be the same as Monday to Friday. Those final M-Fs on the timetable will also need removing

The big complaint has always been that the town bus only ran to 14.00 on Saturday.
