The stickers, a reminder that ’20’s plenty,’ were offered by Oxfordshire County Council for free earlier this year to mark the county’s 275th 20mph scheme.

Since launching the 20mph programme in 2022, the council has been lowering speed limits through villages across Oxfordshire.

A Freedom of Information Request by this newspaper has revealed that 1,000 20mph stickers were bought by the council working out at a cost of £1.25 each.

The county council said: “No costs were incurred via promotion. Details of the postage costs are unknown at this time.”

Oxfordshire County Council teamed up with the campaign group ’20 is Plenty for Us’ to distribute the stickers.

Andrew Gant, Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for transport management, praised the stickers and the reduced speed limits.

He said: “This is an incredible landmark and I want to thank all the parish and town councils who have been in touch with us, asking to make their residential streets safer and more pleasant places.

“Residents can now can visibly demonstrate their support by putting these stickers on their wheelie bins, to remind drivers that 20mph should be the norm in areas where people live.”

Another ten 20mph schemes are waiting to be implemented, which will take the total to 285.

Mr Gant added: “You are seven times more likely to survive if you are hit by a car driving at 20mph than if you are hit at 30mph.”

The popular documentary first landed on screens back in 2021, showcasing Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

With four series now to date and a fifth expected to be released next month, demand for the farming programme is high among fans.

Diddly Squat is the core focus of the show, with farmhand Kaleb Cooper and Mr Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan, among the faces featured throughout its run.

Mr Clarkson’s acquisition of The Windmill pub in Asthall, now renamed The Farmer’s Dog following its 2024 opening, also featured in the most recent season.

Producer Andy Wilman, Mr Clarkson’s long-standing collaborator, said according to The Express: “You’ve got to remember this is Jeremy’s show, it’s not like mine and his or his and Richard’s, it’s his baby and if at the end of a series, he can think of something he wants to do for another series, then he’ll do it.

“You can’t have that thing where you have done one series too many and people say, ‘that’s b******* now, it’s a busted flush. So you have to discipline yourself to say, ‘we end this now while we still have an audience.’

“Every series we have is a bonus and we have to treat it like the Grand Tour, that every series we have is a bonus – and each time we’re thinking we’re in uncharted territory with the farming show. It’s the most joyous thing to edit.”

The channel first launched in 1980 under the name Watch IT before being rebranded as Children’s ITV and later shortened to CITV.

Known for hit shows Art Attack, Fraggle Rock, and Tots TV, the channel once brought in millions of viewers.

But on the morning of Friday, April 10, CITV officially ended its time on TV.

ITV shuts down CITV

In 2006, its late-afternoon slot on ITV1 was axed as it got its own channel on Freeview, but was still available on weekend mornings on ITV channels.

CITV Freeview was later shut down and replaced by the streaming service ITVX Kids Hub on ITVX in 2023, with the weekend showings moving to ITV2.

However, on April 10, the CITV block on ITV2 ended for good, cementing the closure of the channel.

The last moments were marked with the credits of the show, Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! followed by several adverts before the final logo clip of CITV was shown.

Those who grew up watching CITV reacted to the channel’s closure on X, as one viewer wrote: “Can’t believe CITV has ended… I remember watching a lot of children’s TV on CITV. “

Another person said, “After 42 years #CITV has officially ended, marking the end of an era for Children’s TV as we know it.”

A third viewer wrote: “I absolutely loved CITV back in the day. Thank you for many years of fun, laughter and entertainment.”
