Councillor questions practicality of Witney High Street plan
Thomas Ashby has questioned the practicality of narrowing the carriageway as part of Oxfordshire County Council’s scheme, which is now over budget.
In a Facebook post, Councillor Ashby said: “At the end of the day, this scheme is now over budget by millions.
“I do have grave concerns about how narrow they are making the carriageway, and how practical that is going to be for buses, but we will have to wait and see.”
The final plans will be shared at a public event at Witney’s Corn Exchange on April 29, from 2pm to 7pm.
Work is set to begin in May and is expected to finish in October.
