Leaf clearing, Hixet Wood

Fri 14 Nov, 18:53

Funnily enough, I have been wondering if our town counsellors could request, from the Highways Authority, a total clearance of the wet leaves and mud in what must be tons, all around the Co-op/Pooles Lane/Enstone Road area. I'm aware there must be other streets as bad, but this is a particularly awful slippery mess. By now it is requiring an industrial-scale job, as no few people would be able to shift it all, and to where, anyway? It is a dangerous area now, especially in the dark evenings.

Charlbury council tax payers, arise and join me in the protest! “Something should be done”!

Our efforts are still very much required, despite the appropriate propitiations to Ubico, god of street-sweepers.  Hannen's view only shows part of the picture - further round the corner, the machine cleared one-third of the path width (much appreciated), but that still leaves (no pun intended) plenty more to do.

Thank you Simon for offering to take that on - even if your efforts are not required.

That’s great Simon. Thank you

The Highways Authority must have read your post, Simon. Hixet Wood, at midday today Friday 14 November.

The leaf machine was out this morning, although I expect there will be a few more waiting for you by Sunday.

I aim to be making a start on clearing the fallen leaves from the pavement at the top end of Hixet Wood on Sunday morning.  If anyone would like to get a bit of respite from cabin fever (after two days of rain) and come and join me, please do so.  Bring your own rakes, yard brushes, shovels, grabbers, etc.  Squelch-off time about 10.00.
