As from next Monday 7th March, Cuckoo Lane is to be closed for 10 weeks for work to be done on reconstructing the wall to the garage nearest Osler Road.

It is on the authority of Oxfordshire Council who are the highways authority.

The diversion applies to pedestrians and is for that part of Cuckoo Lane between Osler Road and Stephen Road.  Pedestrians are asked to use The Croft as a diversion.

David and I are asking whether the closure period needs to be this long, bearing in mind how many pedestrians, JR employees and joggers use the lane. It’s a key walkway too for people visiting the hospital and GP surgery. We will keep you posted.
