There was a rainbow this morning in Bridge Street – a sign of hope on the last day of 2021.
In 2022, some of the long standing problems in Abingdon Town Centre should get resolved. They include the cause of this queue of traffic.
The arches under Abingdon Bridge need strengthening, and this meant reduced traffic access. The lights have caused tail backs up Bridge Street and Stert Street and possible air quality problems.
The leaseholder of the Upper Reaches leaseholder closed and boarded-up the hotel in 2015. Since then the site has become a blot on the river entry to Abingdon. The owner, Vale of White Horse District Council, will hopefully get the leaseholder to put forward acceptable plans for the sites future in 2022,
or take back the lease.
Most of the Charter Carpark has been closed since early March 2021. The closure did cause problems for people going to the charter vaccination centre in 2021.
There are other carpark available but the new civil parking enforcement, introduced from November 1st, has increased demand for public carparks.
