Road Closure

It's like Alice says, speed calming, the creation of a town square and other pointless money wasting. Luckily no stonehenge effect carp so far...............

Perhaps someone has been doing some homework on global warming/climate change issues. There are likely to be a LOT of fast, high volume rain storms and other extreme events according to pretty well any model one wants to run...

They are pretty enormous pipes, the ones that are being put in. The sign in park street says 'surface water improvements', and I wonder just how much surface water we need for these large pipes to be necessary.
A conspiracy theorist, which I am not (...), might think that they are improvements for the 90 Cornbury park holiday lodges, to get 90 lots of 'waste down to the Charlbury works,and which are all downhill; the Finstock ones couldn't cope there. and haven't there just been 'improvements' to the sewage works themselves.
As I say, I am not a conspiracy theorist, better get back to work before the time and motion people see me.

Does anyone actually know what these rumoured improvements to the centre of Charlbury are?

I thought it was just the drains being improved which should only take a couple of months according to a letter sent to residents. I didn't know anything about a town square which sounds interesting. I know there are gas works planned on Park Street too in the near future which involve further road closures.

Plus the drains are being improved.

It is more than just resurfacing. The parking spaces have been adjusted on church street, the bus stops are being improved and there will be a town square outside the bell.

It's worse than that...the sign on the bus stop saying the Worths/OBC buses won't be using Church Street say that the bus stops might be out of use for up to 18 months!

Am I the only resident of Charlbury to wonder why it would take so long to resurface a road? Is over a month's road closure really necessary?
